Minor Details: Games of April 18
Kennys Vargas leads the Red Wings to a win. The Miracle fall behind early and can't catch up. Tyler Beardsley and two relievers shut out Peoria.
The Damned — New Rose
From 1976(!) Not sure why these guys weren't any bigger, but this song absolutely rocks. The Damned were contemporaries of the Sex Pistols and this single came out five weeks before Anarchy in the UK. It's a shame they weren't better known, with their first album soon populating the cutout bins of Mankato record shops.

Right-hander Hector Maestri was with the Washington franchise in 1960, making one appearance in the majors. Before the 1961 season started, however, he was selected in the expansion draft by the new Washington franchise, for whom he made one more appearance in 1961.
2017 Game 14: Cleveland at Twins
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one, it's the loneliest number since the number one... (Playing the Twins excepted)
One run, another loss. The Twins, inspired by their hockey cousins across the river, have scored just one run in four of their last seven games, including the last two, resulting in all losses. Clearly the mantra from the other side is “just score two boys, and we’ll be alright.” Given Cleveland’s early pitching woes, yesterday was especially frustrating.
Phil Hughes up against Josh Tomlin today at 7:10p. Even though it’s pretty rainy all day, things look to clear up this evening. Hopefully Twins bats emerge from the cloud as well.

Lachlan Wells has a dominant outing. The Kernels take it one run at a time. No runs for the Lookouts.
The Ramones — Blitzkrieg Bop
EDIT Try, this version. It should have sound.
Performance from 1977. This song was also in my early punk consciousness. Still one of my favorites.
