A bad inning for Lewis Thorpe. Good days for Jack Frawley and Casey Frawley--no word about William Frawley.

Five-run innings carry the day for Hermosillo and Navojoa. A four-run inning is enough for Culiacan.
Puerto Rican Publication: Games of 12/27
Good games for all the Twins. Corporan takes sole proprietorship of a win for Carolina. A pair of big innings take care of things for Mayaguez.
December 31, 2013: The End
So, how was your 2013? Mine was pretty good. It seems we ran the gamut around here. No matter how it ended up, here's hoping your 2014s are better.
Happy Birthday–December 31

Tom Connolly was a major league umpire for many years. He umpired the first World Series game in 1903. He once went ten years without ejecting a player.
It does not appear that Bobby Byrne and Tommy Byrne are related.
Minor league catcher Guy LaValliere is the father of major league catcher Mike LaValliere.
Alfredo Meli is a member of the Italian Baseball Hall of Fame. He was the first man to win Italian championships as a player, a manager, and a general manager. He also founded the Italian Baseball Federation for the Blind.
Nobody ever makes a fuss about the last baby of the old year.
Kanye West – Black Skinhead
From the Ben Affleck hosted SNL earlier this year, so the language is OK. Once again, Kanye puts out one of my favorite albums of the year.

Dallas at Minnesota. 7pm.
The last basketball game of the calendar year is a big one. Minnesota (15-15)is looking to make a move in the standings after a up and down 2 months and Dallas (17-13) is right in front of them.
Every time I see Dallas play, I say 'that guy is still in the league?!'. Tonight, I will say that about Wayne Ellington.
This game is the first of a three game home stand for the Wolves, their first of the season. The schedule makers really have not been kind to home locals.

The playoffs open. A shutout in Escogido. Beltre belts in two to lead Licey.

Petit was grand for Caracas. A literal walk-off in La Guaira. Not much good Twins news to report.
Mexican Matchups: Games of 12/26
Teams say "Oy veh" when they face Oyervidez. Delgadillo pitches a dilly of a game. Yes, these lines are getting worse and worse.
