Starters:
CLE TJ House 1-2, 4.40 ERA. 8 starts
MIN Kris Johnson 0-1, 5.40 ERA 2 starts

We are knee deep in the dog days of summer. Todays weather finally reminded us of that. There are other signs: lots of coworkers on vacation, county fairs and town festivals every weekend, only the diehards left cheering on the local baseball team as they limp towards another disappointing season.

Who are these fellas pitching tonight? TJ House is left handed, in his first Major League season, and his longest outing is 6.2 innings. Baseball-Reference tells me Kris Johnson has started two games for the Twins this season. I remember watching the games, but I'll be darned if I can recall anything about those games. Maybe Im scared by Ricky Nolasco giving up two out runs so many times this year.... I dont know.

      I hope the Twins can get 3 more wins!

  4. Dont know how I missed it earlier, but Terry Francona going to Ron Gardenhire route and sticking infielders out there in CF.

  9. Okay, let's say we have a foot race between Kendrys Morales and JI

    JIM THOME. We'll say it's today. Who wins? I'll put my money on ol' Jim Jam.

  10. Started out the day with an E-6 kale smoothie (fresh peach, apple sauce) and ended with a mile swim in the pool. Awesome.

    1. I saw that recipe a few days ago and immediately recognized it as something the Milkmaid does regularly. I guess they frequent the same sites?

  11. Johnson, K #53 LHP's ERA has already moved about 500 basis pts since the beginning of the game. Go, pallo!

  13. Why didn't the Twins give up any runs in the first inning? Are we sure that this Johnson character really knows what he's doing?

    1. This is the first game I've paid attention to in a while. I figure I should familiarize myself with the team since I'll have a chance to go to Target Field in early September. I wish they were going to be a better team when I finally get my chance, but I takes what I can gets.
