Retailers are contacting me about the game now. I'm having a good time riding this little wave.

Honestly, I don't know this team's record. I'm going to try to catch some of this one, though.

August 20, 2014: Another Storm
The storm winds were so powerful last night we stayed in the car for a bit after going out to eat. We're getting pounded by wild storms 2-3 times a week lately.
Game 124: The Clevelands at The Minnesotas
Bauer (4-7, 4.18 ERA) vs. Gibson (11-9, 3.96 ERA)
Now that the Twins have finished up helping the Royals stay ahead of the Tigers, they're hanging around Target Field to see if they can't get the Clevelands into the wild card race. I really haven't been paying a lot of attention, because last place, but at least it sounds like Mauer is back to being Mauer and Gibson has been throwing pretty good as of late.
