Game 139: Clevelands vs. Twins

Cole De Vries takes on Zach McAllister

This sounds like a game that will not be particularly fun to watch for fans of either team. Let's talk about something else, instead. Food, maybe? I know we're big into health again, but I've noticed a distinct lack of culinary pornography around here lately. This saddens me a bit. What's the most delicious thing you've crafted in the past month? What's the most delicious thing you've eaten in the past month?

Twins game viewing optional.

I am glad to be home. I drove home last night and I'll be home again until Wednesday. Next week, I start the eight day trips again, which are actually a lot easier on me than the three day trips that I have made the last couple of weeks. They are easier in the sense that I'm not driving so much. In addition, I'll be able to exercise more than I have been. They are harder, of course, in the sense that I am away from my family for longer periods of time.

2012 Game 138: Cleveland Indians at Minnesota Twins

The Twins passed Colorado and are now ranked third in MLB. Cleveland, however, is right behind the Twins in the Race For #1. Personally, I like their chances better.

The Twins have a respectable 20-32 record in the second half, but aren't getting it done in the division with a 26-27 record. Additionally, they're just handing third place to the Indians with a 7-4 mark against them this year. The Indians are two games behind the Twins and have a four game series. I see them tying, if not outright taking the lead, by Monday night.

Finally, the Twins take on Kansas City after while Cleveland heads to Texas. The Twins have a ridiculous record of 10-5 against the hapless Royals while the Indians have split against Texas in six games so far. I just see no way the Twins retain third place and wouldn't be surprised to see them drop to fifth, behind Colorado once again.

WGOM Fitness: September 7, 2012, I’m Awake, Really I Am

One of the things that I have been conscious of for the last several years is the amount of sleep that I get (or do not get). I really want to get at least seven hours of sleep a night, but there are a number of nights when that just doesn't happen. When I make my trips up to ND, I go to bed about 8:30, so at 3:30 AM, I have seven hours in. One of my biggest problems, though is that I sometimes go through periods when I wake up in the middle of the night and then can't get back to sleep. That hasn't happened for the last week or so, but Tuesday night/Wednesday morning was a 5 1/2 hour sleep event and yesterday afternoon about 5:30 I fell asleep at my desk.

Last night, I went to bed about 10:45 and got up at 6 AM. I slept very soundly, so I should be good today. But, yes, sleep is important and it's something that I have to work on.
