Greinke vs. Gibson! This one is really testing me, as I want to see the game sevens in the hockey playoffs tonight, but the Twins have been rained out for days and it's a game with a rare opponent and a nice pitching matchup. We'll see, I guess.
At any rate, I'm having as much fun watching this team as I have in years. Patience! Runs! Who knew?

Three shutouts! Two 1-0 victories! And then there's New Britain.
I have a couple weak five-hour shifts at work this week. They have the opposite effect, as I start watching the clock after an hour has passed, at most.
