A cycle for Niko Goodrum. Danny Valencia hits two homers. Brett Jacobson goes wild. A walkoff pickoff in New Britain.
July 1, 2012: So Much Left
It would be easier to take 110 degree temps if I didn't know I was at least 60 days away from the end of them.
Happy Birthday–July 1

The Flaming Lips and Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros – Do You Realize??
about this time last year, the hitman threw this song up for Pete (PS cheaptoy: i still think that's a good name). i don't think i ever really got into how rough that week was, but i trusted the docs (not you, bS) that things would get better eventually, and they most certainly did. Pete is a crazy bastard, but i love hanging out with him (this week featured Pete and i running around manhattan by our lonesomes with literally no plans), and i perpetually can't wait to see what the next day will hold.
anyway, from some hipster's wet dream, here's the flaming lips and ESatMZs playing in the hollywood cemetery at sunrise.

Game 77: Twins and Royals – Let’s Play Two!
You know, because the first one wasn't (bad/awesome*) enough.
Hochevar vs. De Vries (third best starter in our rotation right now, or fourth best? Either way, it's truly saddening)
* circle one, I'm building stairs, and won't get to edit this before the second game
2012 Game 76: Royals at Twins, Game 1
Sanchez
v
Diamond
Sanchez has been quite terrible this year. Diamond has been quite awesome this year. Piece of cake.
Minor Details: Games of 6/29
Aaron Hicks has a good game. A big first inning for the Miracle. Junior Subero pitches like Senior Subero.

June 30, 2012: Perfect Timing
As if it wasn't bad enough (given recent events) that Sour Cream has a pool party to go to today, it also denies the Milkmaid the ability to enjoy her birthday at home. I'm at work all day and the pool party is from shortly before I get home to hours later, so it's a pretty lame birthday for the wife. Well, them's the breaks when you have kids who have friends.
Fontella Bass and Bobby McClure – Don’t Mess with a Good Thing
I have been spending some time in the 60's vaults this week and have dug up some pretty neat video.

The video quality is the only thing that keeps this from being a 12.
