Something pretty exciting happened in Rio last night, and her name is Simone Manuel.
Pretty solid mix from the POTUS, I've got to say.
Drop some lists.
Christy Mathewson (1880)
Ray Schalk (1892)
Harlond Clift (1912)
Fred Hutchinson (1919)
Bob Buhl (1928)
Kevin Cooney (1950)
Matt Clement (1974)
Lew Ford (1976)
A notoriously bad hitter, even for a pitcher, Bob Buhl had a lifetime average of .089 and went the entire 1962 season without getting a hit (0-for-70). Oddly, he equaled his career high in walks that year with six, which goes to show something or other.
Kevin Cooney was an eleventh round draft choice of the Twins in 1972. He pitched in the Twins’ organization for two seasons, then a shoulder injury ended his playing career. He then became a college baseball coach. He was the head coach at Montclair State from 1984-1987 and at Florida Atlantic from 1988-2008.
We would like to wish a happy birthday to MagUidhir's niece and nephew.
Rain, rain go away
Come again another day:
Little Jose wants to play
Twins score 5 runs off 2015 Cy Young winner Dallas Keuchel, including a leadoff homerun by Brian Dozier, and win it going away!
le sigh...
"You get off to a good start against a good pitcher and you've got your best guy out there and you've just got to wipe it off the slate," Twins manager Paul Molitor said, with a hint of weariness in his voice. "Unfortunate. Good for them."
Apparently, last night's tilt was just for funsies, not an official game, and will be replayed tonight featuring bullpen residents Tommy Milone and Chris Devenski on the mound.
The day game features every immature person's favorite giggle-inducing, unfortunately-named veteran Doug Fister (10-7, 3.47 ERA) facing 22-year-old rookie Jose Berrios (2-2, 8.31 ERA), who is hoping to notch his 3rd big league win (and second against the Astros). Berrios's best Game Score thus far is a rather timid 57 (his first major league win vs Houston), while his opponent has accrued 8 games with GSc's of ≥60, with a record of 7-1 in those contests this year.
Bring 'em home, boyos!
Two players make their Rochester debuts. Alex Kirilloff keeps hitting.
Oh, snap. I was supposed to get out to a few shows.

I don't have a year, but it appears that August 11 is also the birthday of Walter McNeil, better known as Wally the Beer Man.
We would also like to wish a happy birthday to Mrs. Moss and a happy anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. AMR.
This is still in my head after 3 days.

Dozier gives the Twins the early lead!
