We would also like to wish a happy birthday to brianS’ brother.
The pastor who took over for me in the North Sioux City church is a nephew to Jesse Haines.
Someone said something about painting and rainy days, and, well, these fly dudes have something to say about it. I totes balls you too, bootsy.

Loading... Gibson (8-6, 2.85 ERA, 3.75 xFIP) vs. Shoemaker (4-7, 4.85 ERA, 4.03 xFIP)
The Twins continue their Minnesotans-can't-watch-because-the-games-are-on-too-late road trip to face the Angels. Gibson takes the mound to try to get the team back on track after a heart breaking loss followed by a game that I think we can all just ignore and pretend didn't happen.
I expect Lucroy and Tulowitzki to suit up tonight with David Price getting the start tomorrow. I also expect a lively game log with a 9pm game time.
A pair of three-run innings carry the Red Wings. No Miracle in Fort Myers. Edgar Corcino continues to hit in a losing effort for the Kernels. An eight-run inning sinks the E-Twins.

John Hart was the general manager of the Cleveland Indians from 1999-2001 and of the Texas Rangers from 2001-2005.
I was out for 15 days at work. One co-worker was in a car accident, and her arm is shredded. Another was t-boned by a driver who blew a stop sign (and died in the ensuing crash). One of my two managers lost a sister suddenly.
I need to never leave again, I guess.
German TV, 2012
Self-described "doom ridden jazz music" from the German band. The darkest of noir. Their album Sunset Mission (another fave to paint rainy day scenes to.)

Thanks to the DJ's for giving me a couple extra days to burn off my picks. I balls you two.
(3 votes, average: 6.00 out of 10)Loading... Jose Berrios pitches very well to no avail. A big day for Kennys Vargas. Chris Herrmann has met his match in Michael Ratterree. Tanner English gets the key hit for the Kernels. Two six-run innings for Elizabethton. The GCL Twins can't come back. Continue reading Minor Details: Games of July 18
We'll get caught up as soon as we can, but it may take a few days.
Pat Dean's fine pitching goes for naught. The Lookouts hang on. Miracle bats and Mat Batts lead to an easy win. Cedar Rapids gets only a Kernel of offense. Andro Cutura's fine pitching also goes for naught. A seven-run inning carries the GCL Twins. Two four-run innings carry the DSL Twins.
