Another favorite from this year.
Sorry for the tardiness. Didn't have a chance to schedule anything, and had to rush out the door this morning. At least I got all of the tags right today, I think.

Loading... An excellent start for Jose Martinez. Too many missed opportunities for the DSL Twins. Only one game was actually played.
Shoeless Joe Jackson (1889)
Doc Prothro (1893)
Jim Odom (1921)
Norm Sherry (1931)
Eddie Fisher (1936)
Lee Elia (1937)
Terry Pendleton (1960)
DeMarlo Hale (1961)
William VanLandingham (1970)
The father of former NFL coach Tommy Prothro, third baseman Doc Prothro played in the majors for parts of five seasons and had a lifetime batting average of .318.
Jim Odom was an American League umpire from 1964-1974.
DeMarlo Hale was a minor league manager from 1993-2001 and has been a major league coach since 2002.
No players with connections to the Twins appear to have been born on this day.
Time to reset and start playing near-meaningless games unless this team decides it can go on a run.
Here's pretty much all you need to know:
AL:
Kurt Suzuki, C, Minnesota Twins
Glen Perkins, LHP, Minnesota Twins
NL:
Carlos Gomez, OF, Milwaukee Brewers
Pat Neshek, RHP, St. Louis Cardinals
But the real Minnesota star? Target Field. You're freakin' awesome, girl -- strut your stuff.
Fine starts for Tyler Duffey and Tim Shibuya. Danny Santana starts his rehab in Fort Myers. Enjoy your all-star game, because there's not much happening in the minor leagues today.
John Clapp (1851)
Dan McGann (1871)
Bubbles Hargrave (1892)
Shirley Povich (1905)
Jake Powell (1908)
Bruce Edwards (1923)
Donn Clendenon (1935)
Mike Shannon (1939)
Kirt Manwaring (1965)
Brett Merriman (1966)
James Baldwin (1971)
Miguel Olivo (1978)
Shirley Povich was a sportswriter for the Washington Post from 1923-1993. He continued to write for them for twenty-five years after he "retired".
We would also like to wish a very happy birthday to brianS, kg2005, and Mom Beau.
This'll be the first one in Minnesota since baseball was on my radar (I started watching in about mid-'86). I don't ask much - just a Suzuki homer, a Perkins save, three Jeter strikeouts and the stunning return of Kirby Puckett.

Skip to 50 seconds to avoid babble.
mewithoutYou are a fairly different sort of band, and this is a different sort of video. Accordions, harps, and dancing white dudes are prevalent here, and the song itself sort of eschews their usual aesthetic, which was originally a sort of abrasive, lyrical post-hardcore sound. Aaron Weiss is one of my favorite lyricists, and the album which this song appears on (Brother, Sister) is one of my "desert island" albums.
Lord, those dancing people are obnoxious. I enjoy this performance of the song, though, so this is what you get.
