An excellent performance by Samuel Deduno. Just how big are rosters in this league, anyway?

As everyone reading this knows, Calvin Griffith was the long-time owner of the Minnesota Twins. He had served in a variety of positions for the Washington Senators, including batboy, minor league player-manager, and working in the front office. His managing career lasted from 1937-1941. He also played for Class B Charlotte from 1939-1941. No records of his playing career are available from 1939-1940, but in 1941 he got a hit in his only at-bat.
We would also like to wish a happy birthday to SBG’s father, Butch.
December 1, Christmas Spirit
They have this thing called "Glendale Glitter" out here - hayride, lights, living Nativity, that kind of thing. The Milkmaid, Milklings and I did it last night, but man, is it tough to feel Christmassy when you barely need a hoodie.

My goal is for Derek Williams to become aware of this and use it as motivation. That or David Kahn becomes aware of these posts and tries to make these trades.
Yeah, no one is going to trade for Derek Williams.

WGOM Fitness: 30 November 2012, Back on the Heavy Scale
So, I had hoped to maybe work out late last night, but instead I was *requested* to get some work done by my boss (Him: I have this task that needs to be done. You need to do this by 10. Me: I have to drive 250 miles tonight, I'll do it tomorrow. Him: No, it has to be done by 10.), and so I got back from the office at 10:45. No workout.
