Chris Parmelee has nothing to learn in Rochester. No snap in the Snappers’ bats. A big game for Max Kepler. Lots of errors in the DSL. A Denny McLain sighting!
Friday Music Day: August 24, 2012
I went to the Ha Ha Tonka/Murder by Death show last night. I think I went to bed an hour ago. I am wrecked; I had some things I remember wanting to write in this space, but now I can't think of any of them. Distract me by sharing your random ten please.

I guess an entertaining first seven and a half innings is as much as I can ask from this team.

Hank Gowdy (1889)
Hal Woodeshick (1932)
Tony Bernazard (1956)
Cal Ripken (1960)
Tim Salmon (1968)
Kevin Correia (1980)
Nick Adenhart (1986)
No major league players with connections to the Minnesota Twins were born on this day. We do come close with Hal Woodeshick, who played for Washington in 1960, but then was chosen by the new Washington in the expansion draft in 1961.

Loading... Game 124: Twins vs. Rangers
The Texas Rangers have agreed to play the Minnesota Twins in a baseball exhibition today. It is my understanding that the Twins were once a major league team.

Culture Club: Well, I can't really do the alternative spaces justice today, so I'll toss in this plug for Magnolia Editions. Known for unorthadox editons and tapestries, Magnolia has had a hand in creating some of the best prints in the market today. Doc, you should drop by and pick up a chuck close or two.
Minor Details: Games of 8/22
