Pat Dean's pitching leads the Red Wings. A big comeback, led by Max Kepler and Adam Brett Walker II, carries the Lookouts. Trevor Hildenberger makes his Fort Myers debut. A big inning is enough for Cedar Rapids. The E-Twins and the GCL Twins are both blanked. A seven-run seventh carries the DSL Twins.

That's better.
FMD: Off to Alaska
1. I'll be away from (most of) the internet next week. Someone want to claim next week's FMD?
2. So Pepper, CoC, and I missed the Lydia Loveless concert on Sunday night, and freealonzo and Scot gave it mixed reviews. May this offer us all consolation. Recorded last year, so it doesn't have any of those new songs I want to hear.
3. In last week's comments, I mentioned the May death of Michael Kandel, who recorded as Tranquility Bass. His debut album was released on astralwerks, and it seems that so much that was on astralwerks is out of print but not reclaimable by the original artists (or even Rhino?). Maybe it's on iTunes or something. You should pick up a used copy if you find it. Go ahead and listen to it all:
