Last night I emailed the contestants in one of my writing games to tell them the results were delayed thanks to a flood above us that's destroying our ceiling. Daneeka's Ghost pointed out that I'd named the CoC "Ceiling" yesterday, and he had a suggestion about what to name this one. Here's hoping!

Game #Whatever
Twins lose. In other news, the sun rose in the east this morning.
Where They Stand
Two teams are in the playoffs, two are a game out, one has an outside shot, two have been eliminated. The major league team, of course, will make the playoffs with a record of 89-73.
Minor Details: Games of 8/23
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.
August 24, 2012: Ceiling
I guess an entertaining first seven and a half innings is as much as I can ask from this team.
Happy Birthday–August 24
Harry Hooper (1887)
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.
