Let's ease on into the weekend here, yes?

Loading... If someone wants to curate a WGOM Summer Mix this year, please do. I don't think I'd be into it.
Last year's rules were:
Nominate 3 songs by whatever rule you want. Your #1 goes on the mix, even if it's an awful song about winter. Curator picks and chooses from the other nominees for whatever reason he or she wants, and can maybe add a few (like if a WGOM-faved album comes out after most noms are in). Put your three nominations in a spoiler so others can make their nominations free of bias.
Those were my rules. If a curator steps forward, s/he should decide this year's rules at that time. Don't nominate songs until a curator steps forward.
An excellent game by Taylor Rogers. Not much offense for the Lookouts. A rare bad game for Kohl Stewart. Dereck Rodriguez makes his Kernels debut. The DSL Twins win in extras.
Good comeback.
And there's nothing happening worth CoC'ing about.

Prior to beginning his major league career, Lou Brissie served in World War II. He suffered severe leg injuries, receiving the Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts, but overcame his injuries to spend seven years in the majors.
Mike Coolbaugh was the first base coach for the Tulsa Drillers when he was struck on the head with a line drive and killed.
There appear to be no major league players with connections to the Minnesota Twins born on this day.
The Twins have already won the season series, but hey, let's take one more from this supreme disappointment of a team (and division).
Tommy Milone vs. Steven Wright. Milone returned to the Twins today, as we suspected he might, and apparently the Sawks don't do well against lefties. Wright didn't make the majors until two years ago at age 29, so he has limited long-term potential, but is serviceable. His K rate has been pretty good at every stop, he makes a lot of deadpan jokes under his frizzy baldish afro, and he walks a few as well. He's thoroughly average in every other way I can see.
Alright, let's keep this unlikely season going.
The Red Wings sweep. The Miracle split. Jose Berrios pitched better than his numbers look. A busy day for the Twins affiliates.
The difference was night and day.
Today I'm going to see how close I can get to Email Zero. As I go to bed, I have 44 that need attention.
