Loading... Joe Mauer was called out at home on a controversial play where catcher Hank Conger appeared to block the running lane before the before arrived.
The game was over after that because Mike Pelfrey was pitching.
Here is something better than that game
Big series!

Not much offense for the Red Wings. Shannon Wilkerson leads the Lookouts to victory. Good days for Logan Wade and Edgar Corcino. An eight-run inning does in the E-Twins. Walks and hit batsmen aid the GCL Twins' cause.

I think I've got two more weeks left on this Will Oldham ride before I burn out.
I'm now much more fond of the latest Bonnie "Prince" Billy album than I had been.
It's Singer's Grave — A Sea of Tongues, and it's mostly a re-recording of songs from Wolfroy Goes to Town, which was the second of his really lackluster post-Beware long-players.
Almost every song that's on both albums is improved, though "Quail & Dumplings" (the only great song on Wolfroy) is just equally good. And the two new songs, "Mindlessness" and "Whipped" are up there with "Q&D" as the best on this album.

I'm anxious for my new batch of brew to be ready to drink. Everything went smoothly, so here's hoping the taste reflects that.
