1. Sneaky move by the Indians: They bumped up Mike Clevinger to start Thursday against the Tigers... he'll now be on schedule to pitch the series finale against the Twins in Minnesota on Sept. 8 and again vs. the Twins later that week.

   1. It may be a good move, but I don't know what's supposedly sneaky about it.

      1. Hey, don't argue with an award winning writer for the Athletic.

2. An interesting story about the creation of D&D, and how maybe not all the right people got credit for it.

   I didn't know that there was such a strong local connection.

3. If CH is around - The Russian Rugby Union is streaming their match against Jersey right now, with Russian commentary.

4. I'm thinking about taking the family to a MN United game. Any advice? Any areas to avoid?

5. So the supporters section is a blast but you have to stand and chant the whole time which obviously some people don’t like. There’s no exact pressure to chant but you’d look foolish not amidst all that. Not rowdy or crude, very inclusive. I recommend that section at some time to for the experience.

   East side stands gets some sun but maybe not too bad this late in season.

   There really isn’t a bad seat in the place. Enjoy.

   1. Thanks!

6. Waiting for Godot Rocco. No lineup yet.

7. So my old band director is playing tuba for Weird Al at the State Fair tonight. That might be the coolest sentence I ever write.

   1. In other cool Weird Al/Minnesota news:

      Darwin, Minnesota names ‘Weird Alley’ in honor of twine ball troubadour ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic

      1. My kid loves that song.

         1. As do mine. They have wondered at me many times why we haven't scheduled a major vacation there.

   2. Which one?

      1. I think he meant the first sentence...

      2. Mr. Budde.

         1. okay, didn't know him

8. NYY is down to nine HR behind, so we need to put the "lit" in Giolito tonight. Nelson Cruz for at least two bombas.

9. Byron Buxton felt pain in his shoulder on his rehab assignment. The rehab assignment has been halted at the moment. He is expected to meet the team in Chicago.

   1. NOOOOOOOOO NO NO NO

   2. Levine on Buxton: "We're still optimistic that he's still going to help this team at some pt before the season's end. We know we're hitting the pause button ... I wouldn't even call it a set back. But our doctors have assessed he needs to strengthen & stabilize his shoulder."

      Instead sounds like Buxton started his rehab too early.
