An excellent game for Jose Berrios. D. J. Baxendale does okay, too. A couple of big innings sink the Miracle. Randy Rosario pitches well in a losing effort. Dereck Rodriguez has a rare bad outing. The GCL Twins get ten-runned. Junior Amarante leads the DSL Twins to victory.
Game 126 Recap: Twins 5, Rays 3
Okay, everyone who a week ago, when the Yankees wrapped up their sweep of the Twins, thought the Twins would go on to win their next six games on the road, raise your hands. Okay, now put your hands down, because you know you're lying.
Happy Birthday–August 27

To set up the league, anyway. I forgot to call my sister.
Sunday Valley – Never Go To Town Again
The boy was watching Sturgill Simpson videos on the internets (awesome) and came across this gem from his early days. I always thought he could play, but I didn't know he could shred.

It is reported that Angel Hernandez has been a major league umpire since 1993. We continue to search for evidence of this.
Mario Hollands was drafted by Minnesota in the 24th round in 2009 but did not sign.
We would also like to wish a happy birthday to spookymilk’s sister and to Can of Corn's Kernel.
