The brothers Kiszka (plus drummer) have a new one out soon. Apparently the drummer was trying to play through an injury here which eventually lead to them putting him on the disabled list and canceling some shows. See? Don't be a tough guy.

Loading... Congratulations to Gentleman Jim Thome, Jack Morris and the rest of the 2018 Hall of Fame class on their induction. Berrios on the mound today and the Twins need a win to split their 4-game series with the best team in baseball at the moment. That's all I got. Not sure how much enthusiasm I'll be able to muster for this team over the next two months. I guess that depends on how much more demolition the front office conducts before Wednesday. Play ball!
My daughter, a certifiable genius (no, really) and a senior in college, just called my wife and asked "would you talk me through how to put gas in the car? I'm at the pump."

I'm so proud. #parentfail?

Cedric Tallis was the general manager of the Kansas City Royals and the New York Yankees.
Submarine pitcher Hisashi Yamada won 284 games in Japan.
Ken Burns made an Emmy-award winning documentary about the history of baseball. He also made a documentary on Jackie Robinson.
Every year I am surprised to learn that there was a Ryan Braun who pitched for Kansas City in 2006 and 2007.
Don't have much today. This series has been compelling, but now that the team is clearly in "sell" mode, it's harder to put much into it.
Maybe it's better that way.
Either way, go Twins!
Willians Astudillo keeps hitting. Brent Rooker hits his twentieth home run, but Lewis Thorpe is the big star for the Lookouts. A big game for Akil Baddoo. A big inning leads the E-Twins. Two big innings lead the GCL Twins. Jesus Feliz comes through twice for the DSL Twins.
The Red Wings are shut out. Brent Rooker keeps hitting. Ben Rodriguez hits a big homer for the Miracle. Michael Davis and Tyler Watson lead the Kernels. The E-Twins are shut out. Landon Leach pitches well in a GCL loss. Triples lead to a DSL Twins win.
That's where I slept last night. How about you?

We would also like to wish a happy birthday to MagUidhir’s brother.
