Early this morning, someone turned the lights on in my room. I opened my eyes, but the lights weren't on. Then came the earth shaking crash of thunder setting off car alarms around the neighborhood.
Happy Birthday–May 14

Minor Details: Games of May 11
Another strong game for Zack Littell. Stephen Gonsalves gives up a big inning. Brent Rooker hits a walkoff grand slam. A Miracle comeback runs out of steam. A ninth-inning win for the Kernels.
2018 Game 36: Land O’ Lakes Twins vs. Part of the Greater Metropolitan Los Angeles Area Angels
Hang onto your hats, gentlemen. Today's tilt features a match-up of two rookie hurling phenoms. In this corner, weighing in with a 3-1 record, a 4.10 ERA, and a 0.4 WAR is Shohei Ohtani. In the other corner, sporting a 2-0 record, and a 0.8 WAR, undefeated and unscored upon, Fernando Romero. It's only my humble opinion, but I'll put it out there - these are the two most exciting young pitchers in baseball at the moment. My brother-in-law in Orange will be in the stands today - wish I could join him. Play ball!
