After I read the news yesterday (oh, boy), I was pretty bummed. I went through most of the stages - I couldn't believe it at first. I felt a little angry - how could SBG take that place away, just like that? I felt a small piece of ownership; and really, I'm at best on the outer periphery of people who deserve to feel ownership of the place. I thought about doing some bargaining - trying to explain that it was all of ours, that it belonged to the community at this point. I then was depressed most of the rest of the day (the ballgame yesterday didn't help much there).

If someone has a real game log prepared, feel free to delete this. We obviously need something to celebrate our new digs though.
I predict the Twins will break out offensively in a big way today, winning with a football type score of 27-10.
Half-baked, I tells ya. Somebody forgot to clean the pot out last night. This is what happens with group houses.
Rochester at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Postponed. No makeup date has been announced.
Portland at New Britain. Postponed. No makeup date has been announced.
Ft. Myers 9, Bradenton 6 at Bradenton. The Miracle overcame a 5-1 deficit with five in the sixth and then scored three more in the eighth. Brian Dozier had two singles and a triple and James Beresford had two singles and a double. Danny Rams and Nathan Hanson each singled and homered. Aaron Hicks had two hits. Nicholas Romero drove in three. Starter Matt Schuld worked only three innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk. Shooter Hunt got the win, giving up an unearned run on a hit and three walks in two innings. He struck out five. Bruce Pugh struck out three in two scoreless innings to get the save.
Cedar Rapids at Beloit. Postponed. Game will be made up as part of a doubleheader June 14.

This is also the birthday of Twins’ farmhand Deolis Guerra (1989). There do not appear to be any major league players with connections to the Minnesota Twins who were born on this day.
This is where you voice your opinion on features and such. What makes the transition from the old place? What can be left behind? Do we start all over with BKAC? Jeff A asked if the birthday thing had run its course (I see what he’s saying, but although I almost never commented on it, I nearly always read it).
Anyway, go nuts.
Hopefully the first of many more Cups of Coffee to come.
...home.
It's different and all, but we've attempted to keep what's important.
Make yourself comfortable, Citizens. Posts on conduct (which regulars know already; nothing has changed) and who to contact with creative (me (the Milkman)) and technical (sean and possibly others) questions are forthcoming.
In the meantime, assume your game logs and special features carry over.
