August 12, 2012: Sleep Deprivation
No matter how late I work or stay up, I wake up at the same time. I'm wrecked.
Game 113: Twins and Rays
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Blackburn (5-7, 5.73 FIP, -2.4 k/9) vs. Price (14-4 3.19 FIP, occasionally strikes people out)
Judging simply by the matchup, this one looks like it might be hard to pull off a victory.
