  3. Two games on my day off? Don't mind if I do!

    Also, it turns out I still really like Exile on Main Street. It actually felt new again, which was fun.

    1. Are you going to now listen to Exile in Guyville -- Lizzy Phair's supposed response?

    2. I was the opposite. A Twins doubleheader, so of course I get 12 hours of work to do. I got to see about 4 innings of both games. At least I could watch the condensed game of the win when I was done.

    1. I heard yesterday they were bringing up Tonkin. Nine man bullpen when they've had two days off in the last week!

  6. Pretty sweet lightning outside my office window. I could go for a few more hours of that to entertain me this afternoon.

    1. You and I must live some miles apart, because I don't have any here...

      On the upside, we're a manageable 88 degrees at the moment. I may not actually melt today.

    3. We had a bolt this morning that shook the building. That was something else.

      1. I was just in DC this last weekend and they mentioned some repairs needed to the Wash. Monument because of an earthquake.

        I remember a day a whilst back (I think 2011), sitting in my office in H-istan, and I felt something weird, and saw my office door moving slightly. I walked out and looked over the sea of cubicles and everyone was looking around at each other like prairie dogs. There was a tremor in VA that reverberated all the way to Hartford.

        I wondered if it was that same event that required repairs to the Wash. Monument.

          1. Also, took a tour of the Capitol last Friday whilst in DC. (you can't see everything without a pass from your congress-person, FYI).

            Cool tour - Geo. Washington dominates everything (even have an empty crypt for him - VA+family did the nix on moving his remains from Mt. Vernon). Under construction/cleanup now - scaffolding everywhere.

            Every state has two statues in the Capitol - marble or bronze - Minny has Garrison Keillor and Minnehaha.

            1. Tell me you are not serious about the statuary. Please.

              Can we start a campaign to put Harmon in there?

                  1. I went to DC with Close Up in high school. Three friends and I spent a whole day collecting passes from different congress-people. Got all the heavy hitters at the time including Bob Dole (who was in the midst of his presidential campaign). The only office that gave us problems was Newt Gingrich's. They (rightfully) explained that those passes are for his constituents only. They were just pretty rude about it.

            2. OK, you caught me:

              Maria L. Sanford, Capitol Visitor Center
              Henry Mower Rice, National Statuary Hall

    4. We could always treat this as the monthly book post too, and then we might make it!

      1. I'm loaded up for bear on the book front, but First Monday has come and gone.

    1. No rally cap?? I think the ancien regime (old basement) ruled out the rally fez..

          1. True thing: I helped Jesse Crain find a Def Leppard CD yesterday. That's my favorite sentence I've gotten to type in a while.

          1. Six: just finished Glass' biography. Good read. Interestingly, he used to hang with Serra and melt/toss lead on the wall.

  20. Twins sqwaukers joking about catching foul balls... I love it when I see guys wearing gloves in the stadium. The audacity of foul hope.

    1. The audacity of foul hope.

      Sounds like a revisionist history of the Obama presidency.

  21. Dazz with a career 326/352/442 slash line at Fenway (145 PA).

    Molly with 323/365/476 in 494 PA.

    2. unrelatedly, I broke a tooth yesterday eating some almonds. Got a temp filling. My dentist said the fix should be easy (I sheared off a cuspid on a rear molar). Scheduled for this evening. w00t.

  32. I sure hope this is not the series in which Cinderella's coach turns back into a pumpkin. I'm not ready for that yet.

  37. Whew. We're still good to go.

    Alright, 99 degrees here and plenty of daylight left. Time to watch some of this by poolside.

    1. It's going to be all the more laughable when the Twins send him down tomorrow for Milone.

        1. Doesn't the team have to wait ten days to call up a player again, barring injury?

  40. May with nine strikeouts, two hits, and no walks in seven innings. His FIP coming into this game is 3.11 and this game's FIP is 0.54.

    1. Yeah, he seemed to channel his annoyance into being unhittable. After going 3-0 to that first batter, he brought it.
