A late error costs Rochester the game (sound familiar?) Kennys Vargas hits his twelfth. A complete game for Taylor Rogers.
Last time I was guest DJ, all the way back in 2011, I only played one country song for ya'll. I sincerely apologize, so I'm here to rectify that this week.
Alison Krauss became very popular very quickly in 1994 at the age of 23 when she did a cover of Keith Whitley's "When You Say Nothing At All." To date it's still her only song that's cracked the Top 30, though her albums have always sold well, including her collaboration with Robert Plant. She has won more Grammy awards than any other woman in history. Even more than Derek Jeter.
Her voice is amazing.

Lefty Phillips managed the California Angels from 1979-1981.
Richard Jacobs was the owner of the Cleveland Indians from 1986-2000.
The Bob Miller born today, although a pitcher, is not the Bob Miller who pitched for the Twins.
We would also like to wish a very happy birthday to socaltwinsfan.
Holy crap, what a beatdown.
Also, Third Monday Movie Day will be on Tuesday. I saw a lot this month and I'm off Tuesday, so there you are.
Greetings from SFO - we're flying home today after finishing up the cross country RV tour of the Western US ... 'vacation' wouldn't be accurate, but I wasn't at work and did see some amazing stuff. I haven't been following the squad much except to see a box score here and there. Lots of roster changes to catch up on when I get home (Plouffe to the DL with a "left oblique strain" & Florimon up is apparently the most recent).
Anyway, they managed to score 8 runs over the last three frames (and still lose) yesterday. Hopefully that offense can pick up where it left off since I don't anticipate Nolasco will pitch a shut-out in the rubber match.
