Game 124: The Clevelands at The Minnesotas

Bauer (4-7, 4.18 ERA) vs. Gibson (11-9, 3.96 ERA)

Now that the Twins have finished up helping the Royals stay ahead of the Tigers, they're hanging around Target Field to see if they can't get the Clevelands into the wild card race. I really haven't been paying a lot of attention, because last place, but at least it sounds like Mauer is back to being Mauer and Gibson has been throwing pretty good as of late.

Movie Day

I saw Django Unchained and a few TV shows in this very busy month that was mostly spent on the release of my game. I continue to ignore superhero movies in theaters and lament my lack of movement on the classics.

...but maybe you've seen something?
