The Yankees are Coming! The Yankees are Coming!! oh wait.. that’s someone else.. something to do with the East Coast though right?? 😉
(I’m in a historical mood this holiday week)
Anyway, these aren’t exactly the Yankees we were always concerned with though so.. let’s hope the boys remember that.
[EDIT] LATE scratch kids: Willingham is out completely, Plouffe is moved into the DH spot and Carroll will be manning 3B

I got home to find the Twins up 4-3 after seven innings and wow did things go down the drain quickly after that!
Wasn’t the bullpen supposed to be… what’s the word?… good? Ugh.
Some historical notes for your historical mood: Today is Canada Day, ya hoser, eh. Also, the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the battle of Gettysburg, July 1-3rd, 1863, if my memory serves me correctly (and I haven’t been drinking, so it should).
Someday soon I hope to return from the sea and to a world where the Knuckleballs game chats arent blocked by a restrictive firewall and I can stream MLB games and baseball can return to the throne of my life.
