I have stuff going on all day, so I won't get through all the games until tomorrow. I thought, though, that I might as well give you recaps of the games I had time to do. Unlike these games, there were some Twins wins in the short-season leagues.

Before we get to the results, I want to shout out to Scot at Coffeyville Whirlwind for profiling our electorate. Awesome stuff.
We had an excellent turnout this time with 24 voters chiming in. Let's welcome AMR and Can of Corn to the ranks! And I'm confident in saying that their presence affected the outcomes. We'll leave it up to you to decide whether or not that's a good thing.
Blowouts are cool.

Loading... Stayed up for the west coast ballgame, and couldn't put together a Co'C? Huh.

John Heydler was the president of the National League from 1918-1934.
Wayne Blackburn was a minor league infielder from 1936-1956. He drew over 1,400 walks in his career.
Paul Pryor was a National League umpire from 1961-1981 and is an alumnus of the author’s alma mater, the University of South Dakota.
Who wants to stay up and watch this one with me, assuming I actually do so myself? If you'd said before the season that the Twins would be 40-49 going into game ninety I probably would have been pretty happy about it, but considering how long we played .500 ball, I remain somewhat apathetic, particularly as one of my other teams - the Mariners - continue to play well enough to keep me engaged.
Two 7-7 rookies, Kyle Gibson and Roenis Elias, go today. Elias strikes out his share of guys - not quite one an inning, but fairly close - and doesn't walk many. He skipped AAA and opened the season with the Mariners and seems to be the exact same pitcher he was in AA.
I suppose I'll probably catch this while wishing we could just fast-forward to Dozier in the Derby. But what the hell: go Twins!
A good game for Alex Meyer! New Hampshire sweeps a doubleheader! A big day for J. D. Williams!
