Pat Dean does okay. The Lookouts and Miracle lose in the last inning. Lots of strikeouts for Eduardo Del Rosario and Taylor Clemensia.

Game 102. White Sox at Twins. 7:10 pm
Its the return of The Mountie. Even in Chicago clothes, I will still cheer for him.
Joe Mauer hit a triple last night. His 27th of his career. That is actually 13th all time on the Twins franchise list. That kind of surprised me! It will be a stretch to move up a slot, John Castino is 12th with 34 triples.
Enjoy the game!

July 29, 2016: Break from Break
I think I need this week off more than I did when I worked at a busy store. Boredom is much more draining than work.

Game 101: In Progress + Bonus DNC!
I'll be flipping back and forth between the end of the Twins game and the DNC. I see the Twins have 6 runs currently, which is 4 more than the [insert opposition here, since I forgot to see who it was.]. So that's good.
