A tough night for Alex Meyer. The longball carries the Lookouts. The eleventh extra-inning game in thirty games for the Miracle. A sweep for the Kernels.
May 10, 2015: Remodel
There was a big remodel at work. It feels a bit like a different place. It's a start.
Happy Birthday–May 10

Ed Barrow was the manager of the Boston Red Sox from 1918-1920, and is credited with making the decision to make Babe Ruth and outfielder, rather than a pitcher. He was then general manager of the New York Yankees from 1921-1944.
Harry Salsinger was the sports editor of the Detroit News for forty-nine years.
Allan Roth was the first full-time statistician employed by a major league team, being hired by Branch Rickey in 1947. He is credited with promoting the idea that on-base percentage is more valuable than batting average and with providing the first evidence that right-handed batters hit better against left-handed pitchers and vice versa.
Hideo Fujimoto holds the Japanese records for lowest career ERA and lowest one-season ERA.
John McMullen was the owner of the Houston Astros from 1979-1992.
For some of us, Herb Carneal will always be the Voice of the Twins.
It is rumored that Chris Berman has also been a baseball broadcaster, but no evidence supporting this rumor could be discovered.
Game 31: Twins at Cleveland
I don't see a game log posted, so here's one. I won't be around much, probably, but go Twins!
May 9, 2015: All the Engrams
Happy Dianetics Day.
The Emotions – Best Of My Love
The Twins will always be my only love, but it's been a difficult relationship lately. My baby always says they're going to change, but then they always let me down. Hopefully, this is actually some sort of progress. So, for now, I'm all in.
