WGOM Half-Baked Hall: 1903-1906
For the first time since the initial election, we will be looking at more than three years this go round, as the 1903-1905 classes were pretty weak. We have 16 players from the previous ballot and 16 new players.
Due Date: Monday, August 4. I'll extend this if there's demand.

July 22, 2014: Bang Bang
I watched Kill Bill for the first time in ages last night. It reminded me I was actually home on a third Monday and forgot about movie day.

Game 98: Yes, baseball is still being played! Join the Game Log for some fun!
Start time: 7:10
Weather: warm and humid
Fan pulse: ________^________
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.
