Nothing's announced yet, but I have the feeling the bosses want everyone back soon. Not looking forward to it. What's your status?

Rostam – Half-Light
Some people won't like the Vampy Weeks Extended Universe either - and I didn't like his first solo album that much, the new one seems like it's better but there's no vids from it yet - but anything's got to be better than continuing down that other road

Sadly, Cub Stricker never played for the Cubs.
3' 7" Eddie Gaedel is the shortest person to play in a major league game, walking in his only plate appearance as part of a Bill Veeck promotion. His great-nephew, Kyle Gaedele, was an outfielder in the Padres organization from 2011-15, reaching AA. Kyle is listed at 6' 3".
First Monday Book Day – Pretty Good
It's been quite a while since I've read a book that blew me away. I think the best book I've read this year has been The Bookshop by Penelope Fitzgerald which was a beautiful little book of stubborn characters that I loved. But I read that book back in February, and it's been hard sledding since then for really exciting reading experiences.
Staind – It’s Been Awhile
I mean, we played Creed yesterday...

June 7, 2021: Ea-Kon
I usually try to resist, but the missus finally had me crank up the AC this weekend. Strangely, I think MN was about 10-15 degrees hotter than here.
Minor Details: Games of June 6
The Saints lose a bullpen game. A rough day for Chris Vallimont. Wander Javier is heating up. Brent Headrick has an outstanding game.

Brent Rooker homers in a Saints loss. Caleb Hamilton hits a big homer for the Wind Surge. Wander Javier has a big day for the Kernels. A solid win for the Mighty Mussels.
Game 59: Twins @ KC
The Griffin Jax era is (probably) upon us! But first we get another couple innings of Bailey Ober.
I always enjoy a big league debut, even if it isnt an absolute top prospect. Hopefully, there are other enjoyable things in this game as well.
Twins going for the series split after once again splitting the Friday and Saturday games this week.
