First off, thankfully we're in a part of the country where we can idly contemplate such things, but how many more weeks of pleasant weather do you think we have left in us?

Game! Twins @ royals
Joe got a double! (that's good)
Everybody else got out without even getting him to third (that's bad)
Ian Kennedy is pitching for the Royals (that's good)
Chase....de Jong is pitching for the Twins (your guess is as good as mine)

FMD 09/14/2018: Halloween Mix Nominations
Hello, gals and ghouls. We had the Holiday Mix last year, so this year why don't we do a Halloween Mix*? The rules for submitting should be pretty similar to the Holiday Mix.
Here are the guidelines:
-
- Place up to TWO songs in a 'Spoiler' box. Unlike the Summer Mix, the first choice does not automatically get in.
- As with other mixes though, popularity reigns, so multiple nominations with increase the likelihood of selection.
- Obviously there are plenty of different versions of the same song out there. If you want a particular performance, please note which artist you'd prefer (links wouldn't hurt just in case). If no artist is nominated, it will add weight if someone else did pick a specific performance of the same song.
So, drop your lists, nominations, and any music news below!
*We kind of did this in the past, but it was even more half baked than usual. As promised, let's give it one more go.
