I think my dates in Minnesota will be Sunday, August 30th to the next Sunday (with the last weekend set aside for my brother's wedding). I hope to catch a game at the Bullseye with some of you early in the week. What nights are good?
Its been a few weeks since I remembered to put up a Tuesday game log, so here's to remembering!
Gibson (8-8, 4.19 ERA) vs. Shields (9-5, 3.58 ERA)
Will we get good Gibson or bad Gibson tonight? No idea, but I haven't really paid much attention lately with all the travel and such going on in my life. I'm going to guess it'll be bad Gibson so that this start will either meet my expectations or exceed. Gotta stay positive.
Things have been a little down around here lately, and not necessarily without reason. But let's not lose sight of the fact that, at it's heart, baseball is fun. And in that spirit, here is my lineup of my favorite non-Twins. Here are my guidelines:
Players cannot currently employed by the Twins
Players can be either NL or AL players
One each of LF-CF-RF (Sorry Adam Jones & Cutch)
As we support an AL team, there is a DH
This DH can be any player whatsoever
These are just my favorite players to watch. Not the best, not who I would build a team around, just guys who in their own way bring me some measure of joy when I watch them play ball. And of course, there is no accounting for taste. So y'all should share your favorites too. Follow my rules or don't, it's up to you. I'm not your mother.
Big innings carry the day for Fort Myers and Elizabethton. Brett Lee continues to dominate at Fort Myers. Matt is missing a lot of Batts for Elizabethton.
I have to head up to Paradise Valley (a jaunt from here) at 6am today on my day off basically to babysit other people from my store at a training. It doesn't pay to be a high-end salesman all the time.
