It's my week at the controls, for better or worse. I figure that we will start the week on a bit more of a subdued note. This is my favorite song from the most recent Chromatics album, Kill for Love. Their music always reminds me of the haze that rolls around in your brain when you're up late at night (which I love) or when you're up early in the morning (which I loathe).
Seeing as most Monday mornings are lost in this haze, I figured this would be a fitting way to kick off the week. I hope you enjoy.

In appropriately half-bakef fashion, I gave you the games of 1/12 yesterday, due to the difference in time. I changed the title on yesterday's entry, and now give you the games of 1/11.

There do not appear to be any players with connections to the Minnesota Twins who were born on this day. The closest we come is Gene Roof, whose brother, Phil, played for the Twins. We would, however, like to wish a happy birthday to a certain Dread Pirate.
This is the first instance of the date ending in 13/13 in nearly a hundred years. 13/13/13 is going to be even unluckier, so start preparing for it now.
