There's a baseball game tonight. I'm unwilling to predict 6 more mashed taters, though I feel confident in stating that there's a 50-50 chance we'll see at least one!
Kendall Graveman vs. Hector Santiago (back from bereavement - Buddy Boshers optioned to make room on the roster).
My boss got tickets to the Cubs game tonight from his boss and asked if I wanted to come, to which I agreed. However, I don't think either of us really want to go.
Brian Navaretto hits a walkoff homer for a Miracle win. Aaron Whitefield and Lewin Diaz lead the Kernels to victory. Another two-game sweep!

Garry Herrmann was the president of the Cincinnati Reds from 1903-1920 and was chair of the National Commission from its creation in 1903 until the commissioner's office was created in 1920. It is puzzling that he is not in the Hall of Fame.
Better known as a member of the Harlem Globetrotters, Goose Tatum played in the Negro Leagues for several years in the 1940s.
Dan Iassogna has been a major league umpire since 1999.
I have the latest album, but I'm not completely sold on it. Strong Speedy Ortiz vibe.

Loading... It’s May and the Twins have a winning record. Miguel Sano had a great first month and has been decent in the field (man what a rifle for an arm at third base). Polanco doing well, Buxton maybe showing some signs of life at the plate, serviceable pitching… all portend to at least some hope that we will continue to see entertaining, hopeful baseball into the Summer.
Ervin Santana has been lights out this year and brings his 0.77 ERA to tonight’s game against the Athletics and the 2017 debut of Sonny Gray. Game at 7:10p
The Lookouts play some small ball. Dereck Rodriguez and Max Murphy carry the Miracle. It's only two games, but it's two consecutive sweeps!
I'll be riding the MS 150 for the sixth year in a row next month (provided my nose recovers from the septoplasty I had yesterday). Y'all have been very generous in the past with donations, If any of you would like to donate again, link is here. Thanks again!

Entertainer Bing Crosby was part-owner and a vice president of the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1947 into the 1960s.
Joe Falls was a long-time sportswriter in Detroit and had a weekly column in The Sporting News for many years.
Paul Emmel has been a major league umpire since 1999.
It appears that no players with connections to the Minnesota Twins were born on this day. However, it is the birthday of my brother, retired professor at Virginia Tech. Happy Birthday, Dr. A!
We would also like to wish a very happy anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. Butch.
Been holding out on playing this for a few weeks, but I keep listening to it over and over, so now you can, too.
