Esmerling Vasquez should get a September call-up.

Matt Carson puts the “double” in doubleheader. The Twins won’t give Anthony Slama a chance, but could he really be worse than Jeff Gray? Comebacks go for naught in New Britain and Elizabethton. Miguel Sano has a big day for Beloit.
WGOM Fitness: August 27, 2012
Yesterday, I went to the gym and did 50 minutes on the bike. Instead of just doing the fat burn setting, I did somewhat of an interval program in which I moved from 65% to 80% of my max heart rate and sat at each for 3 minute intervals. It took a long time to move from one to the other, so there wasn't that much interval work going on, but it was a little harder workout than what I had been doing.
I ate my meals, except that I didn't take my last snack last night. I felt a little hungry when I went to bed last night, for sure. When I stepped on the scale this morning, wow, I guess I might have been a little hungry: down 1.9 pounds. In addition to the bike work, I also worked in the yard and I worked up a little sweat.
Tomorrow is a travel day. Twayn, if you want to post, go ahead.
Day 34
Weight: 265.4
Total Loss: 19.1
August 27, 2012: Black IPA
I was able to crack open my batch of Black IPA last night. I'm getting pretty good at this homebrewing thing (no, not cheaptoy good or anything).

2012 Game 127: Twins at Rangers
The Twins aren't good, and the Rangers are. This isn't a likely win. Let's look at the pitching matchup and see if I change my mind:
DeVries vs. Feldman.
Even if it's Corey Feldman, the Rangers probably have the upper hand. So, fire up The Goonies or something instead.
...yeah, yeah...I'll probably watch this until I go to work.

Good morning.
I weigh myself every morning to get a consistent reading. Some people are against daily weighing, saying that focusing on your weight in any one day is counterproductive. I don't agree. You might be saying SBG, you've been dieting for only a month. Well, this isn't my first rodeo. Continue reading WGOM Fitness: August 26, 2012

Beloit produces the lone Twins victory. A rough start for Kyle Gibson. A big day for Wilkin Ramirez. The GCL Twins fall short.

August 26, 2012: Make Good Choices
It's my little sister's 21st birthday today. A 21st birthday is the absolute last thing she needs, given her habits already, so I hope she survives it.
