I don't want to alarm anyone, but I don't think we're going to hit the padre's predictions for us this year. In fact, the way they're playing right now, we'd be lucky to win 100.
Minor Details: Games of 7/21
A sweep for Elizabethton. Kyle Gibson continues his comeback. Another wild game in the DSL.
July 22, 2012: Nightmares
I had a dream a couple of nights ago that I was dragged along to a Dolph Lundgren film festival. I've never been so relieved to wake up.

Game 94: Twins @ Royals
Diamond (8-3, 2.96 ERA) vs. Mendoza (3-6, 4.32 ERA)
The sparkle has faded ever so slightly from Diamond, but he's still been far and away the best starter we've had. Even a slightly scuffed up Diamond is worth more than a Blackburn.
Besides. The Royals only managed one run in seven innings against the guy who was on pace to have the worst ERA+ ever. Diamond has to pitch a good 8 hitless innings, right?

July 21, 2012: It’s in the Air
My promotion last night makes four people who are regulars of either here, the Casa de Leche or both who've significantly increased their quality of life in the past week. It's time to play the lottery, Citizens.
