Is it September yet? No, it's not, but it kind of feels that way with all of the new faces in the dugout already. Last night Tyler Austin made his Twins debut with a true outcomes triple play - a walk, two strikeouts and a two-run dinger. Today Kohl Stewart, the Twins 2013 fourth round draft pick, will make his first major league appearance. He'll face off against Matt Boyd, who sports a 6-10 record and a 4.33 ERA. There are still a lot of games left on the schedule, but at this point watching the Twins play is sort of like watching the sausage get made. Play ball!

Huh. I'm quite surprised that Black Jack wasn't already in the Tigers Hall of Fame.
Uniform number retired. Whatevs. Same sentiment.
Maybe the Tigers are like the Red Sox: can only retire a number once the player reaches the Hall of Fame.
Well, he was the Tigers pitcher with the most wins in the 90s.
80s. He was with the Twins in '91 and the Blue Jays for '92-'93.
See? He's not even memorable.
Or how bad the Tigers were in the 90s.
Pretty sure Buxton could have made it to first, again, on Garver's triple.
