Here's the final one of these. I didn't really want to use the Rattle and Hum video version, so I figured one from Zoo TV would be fun.

Game 63 — Old Gardys versus New Gardys Round 2
It seems like I just wrote this game log. Twins and Tigers battling for second place... Twins need to win these kind of games if they are going to make any noise in the later half of the season.... Fun playing against Gardy again... Basically the Twins have been treading water for a while now so it may be sink or swim time.
Jake Odorizzi on the mound for the Twins. I've liked what he's given the team, and expect more of the same tonight. Blaine Hardy on for the Tigers and he's been decent this year as well.
6:10p start time. Hopefully the #mprraccoon caper will be over and we can concentrate on some AL Central Division baseball.
Minor Details: Games of June 11
A bad day for Stephen Gonsalves. James Ramsey homers. A big day for Luis Arraez. Trey Cabbage and Jordan Balazovic carry the Kernels. Lots of offense for the DSL Twins.

June 12, 2018: Torn Up
We had a guy come out to do a routine duct cleaning. Turns out our previous owner never bothered with anything of the sort and everything was covered in black mold. Fun! That was $1,000 instead of $100. Anyway, I was happy that the guy tearing apart our bathroom didn't uncover a mold colony or two. I know some of you have gone through that. Doesn't sound cool, yo.

June 11, 2018: Everyday Eddies
The Eds are the lone highlight of the lineup these days. Someone else needs to step up their game as well. Let Joe be the spark plug that wakes these other stiffs up.
Minor Details: Games of June 10
The Red Wings continue to not hit. Kohl Stewart pitches very well but still takes a loss. An excellent game for Tyler Wells. Alex Kirilloff keeps hitting.
