Dr.chop and I found a house. Now we wait to see if we're selected to occupy it.

Jim Mutrie managed teams in New York for nine years. He has been called the founding father of baseball in New York City.
Catcher Bill Bergen spent eleven seasons in the majors. He appeared in 947 games and had 3, 028 at-bats. His lifetime stats are .170/.194/.201. Everything you read about him says he was a tremendous defensive catcher, and one assumes he must have been.
There do not appear to be any players with connections to the Minnesota Twins who were born on this day.
Generationals – Nobody Could Change Your Mind
I've always dug this N'awrlins band. They remind me of a plugged-in Wilco.

As already explained by Gleeman earlier, today's matchup is going to involve a lot of balls in play.

Absolute boo for the Red Wings. Three games are decided in the last inning. Miguel Sano hits his fifteenth homer.
June 12, 2012: King Me
Well, the LA Kings are your NHL champions. It's always bugged me that #8 seeds can see their goalie get hot and win a championship, but them's the breaks.

Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears – Sugarfoot
Caught them last Spring opening for Sharon Jones. Rather than pay Ticketmaster fees, Sheenie offered to go to the State Theater box office forty-five minutes before tickets went on sale. The staff made a big ordeal about how they didn't have time to sort through the system to get people tickets where they wanted (because the State had assigned seating), so to please just take whatever tickets you get (and they all cost the same). Sheenie was handed two tickets in the orchestra pit. We ended up being about three feet from the bari sax. Great stuff.

The Twins lost. That's the way it goes. Sometimes it goes that way more than other times. We'll just have to settle for 127-35!
Cake – The Distance
Apologies for the delay. I did love the sword fight and watched it twice.
Anyway, I rode yesterday with this song in my head. I also was wearing my old Fashion Nugget shirt and had someone approach me at one of the rest stops and ask if Satan was my motor.
