1. Chattanooga defeated Montgomery 4-1 to defeat the Biscuits three games to one. An RBI single by Travis Harrison put the Lookouts ahead 2-1 in the third. Adam Brett Walker II hit his second home run of the series. David Hurlbut pitched seven innings, giving up one run on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts.

   The next playoff action for Twins affiliates is Wednesday. Chattanooga will play in Biloxi at 7:10 in game one of the Southern League championship series. Cedar Rapids travels to West Michigan for a 5:35 game in game one of the Midwest League championship series. Felix Jorge is scheduled to pitch for Cedar Rapids. No word yet on who will throw for the Lookouts.

   1. How many games in the respective series'?

      1. It appears that each is a best-of-five.

2. Hey AMR (and others) check out my mushroom and lichen photos on FB.

   1. I'm off to it!

      Nobody tell Mags, free is making puns again.

      1. Looking for the lich button on FB.

3. In the U.S., we would just call it smog or just plain smoke. Unless it's Southern California, then it's the marine layer.

4. Just putting this out there now... On Friday the 25th, I'll be in St Paul for a training that ends at 12:30. Thus, some sort of lunch caucus would be nice for me that day.

   1. The 25th it is! I'm available.

      1. Works for me.

   2. I think I can make it too

5. The text on today's Co'C image has me a little confused. My German isn't all that, but it doesn't look quite Deutsch -- it appears to want to translate to something like "to the little golden coffee tree"

   1. Might be an older dialect. Google says it's Coffe Baum in Leipzig. A review of coffee houses in Europe says the quote is Zum Arabischen Coffe Baum.

      1. Ah! ara and bischen are a single word! I was trying to use "ara" as "oro" or some other representation of "gold", and "bisschen" means "short (duration)" instead of "little", so I knew that was a stretch. Well then: "to the Arab coffee tree" it is.

         1. Yeah, I had it as Zumara bischen ... and didn't get any farther in translating it.

6. The Twins PR staff adds that the starters have had a 2.56 ERA over their last nine games and the relievers have had a 2.92 ERA over the last 23 games.

7. Go Get It outfield behind the pronounced flyball pitcher. Smart. https://t.co/2AlcFsaXV5

8. Watching Cin-SF game. Bottom of ninth, Pagan hits one down the line just fair and not one, but THREE fans are leaning over the rail trying to get the ball (one does).

   What is wrong with people these days? If you can afford a field-level, front-row seat, can't you alsoafford some basic baseball etiquette?

   1. Money can't buy sense. Or class.

      1. I had a similar comment typed up this morning but deleted it as it was neither fair nor in good taste.
         Well done Mike.

      2. Oh there you go, bringing class into it again!
