Gulf Coast League Preview
The Gulf Coast League gets underway today. There are sixteen teams in the GCL, divided into four four-team divisions. They play a sixty-game schedule which ends on August 29. The four division winners then go to the playoffs. Teams take the name of their parent clubs. The Yankees, imperialists that they are, have two teams, which are designated Yankees1 and Yankees2.
Minor Details: Games of 6/20
Logan Darnell pitches a gem. Kyle Gibson does pretty darn well, too. So does Christian Powell.

Friday Music Day — The Droning
Since I was given this slot by AMR I thought I would take the opportunity to drone on for 28 minutes about GBV…. O.k. maybe not, instead I’ll go all Gleeman on the bit and do some Friday links:
Here’s a well-written commentary from the Curator of the Walker about Low’s 28 minute drone at RTG. Of course he loved it (as did I).
Want to know what the fuss was all about? Here’s the stream:
Har Mar Superstar the Guitar Player for the Replacements? It was fun while it lasted.
One of my least favorite bands are headlining an outdoor show Saturday in Downtown Mpls.
I guess a feminist Taylor Swift twitter account is a thing.
That's all I got. Use the space below and drop some rad lists.
