    Saw a stat that said the Twins have spent more days in first place this year than they did between 2011-16 combined.

      That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

        I forgot that. So you probably have all of baseball history if you just go Scully --> Mack --> I dunno, Cap Anson or one of those as-sholes. Three, crunch. Like that owl.

          Bartolo Colón has been DFA’d by the #Braves. And here we go...
          He's hurt so maybe we can't do anything worse to him.

          BTW I would totally sign him for the ML min whatever it is. I'll bet if he started with us now he'd lead the team in IP by the end of the season. With about 100.

              Wait!!!! It's a Saturday!!! Buy the tickets and I'll pay Dr. Mrs. back. In normal traffic it's a 1 hr drive on a weekend.

                The Yankees called up Dustin Fowler as a left handed bat for the remaining 10 games until the all star break. Projected to face 9 righties in that stretch.

                Fowler leaves in the 1st inning tonight, in his MLB debut, after running into the wall on the 1st base line trying to get a foul ball. Has an open rupture of his patella tendon, season over, emergency surgery tonight. Was due to lead off the 2nd. Brutal.

                        I hope Kinsella got a lot of money for that tripe. Thing is, "Iowa Baseball Confederacy" was even kinda good. I never tried "Shoeless Joe" because the Costner Cryfest put me off his feed for good.

                            Oh I bawl like a Klansman at Obama's inauguration at that scene, too. But come on, it's an 11 on the Cinematic Maudlin Scale. And it's not even the most saccharine scene in the movie.
