The calendar says its Sunday. I think the calendar may be right.

Minor Details: Games of May 6
Matt Tracy leads the Lookouts to a win. The Miracle blows a huge lead but wins anyway. The Kernels come up short.
Siouxsie And The Banshees – Dear Prudence
For some reason, Robert Smith is hanging out on this one.

Game 28: red sox @ twins
Well, wasn't that something? I turned off the game in the 7th, because my wife wanted to watch a movie (The new Bourne movie, or, as I like to call it, Very Serious People Walking Quickly), so.... yeah.
I won't be missing today's game, though, because I'm stuck at work on this beautiful day, and I brought my walkman. So I imagine I'll get to finally hear a little bit about this kerfuffle between Boston and Baltimore that no one seems to want to have an opinion about.

Woooooooooo
Minor Details: Games of May 5
A tough game for Adalberto Mejia. It may be time to start thinking about moving Nick Gordon to AAA. No clutch hitting for Fort Myers. A couple of big innings carry Cedar Rapids.

John “Bonesetter” Reese worked with many baseball players and other famous people in the first part of the twentieth century. Today we might call him a physical therapist, although he did not have a formal degree. “Bonesetting” is a Welsh term for the treatment of muscle and tendon strains.
Masanori Murakami was the first Japanese-born player in the major leagues.
Infielder Steve Staggs was drafted by Minnesota in the fourteenth round in 1970, but did not sign.
Baroness – Bullhead’s Psalm/The Sweetest Curse
Feels like a metal kind of weekend. Or "metal".
Game 27. Red Sox at Minnesota.
I've been off the grid most of the day but saw the Twins DFA'd Danny Santana. I bet some National League team like the Pirates claims him.
Phil Hughes on the mound. I have a feeling its going to be one of those games where he gives up like 6 solo HRs. Eduardo Ramirez for Boston.
Oh Goody, Jack Morris is doing commentary for FSN. Bring back Torii Hunter!
