Minor League Ball Gameday: Tuesday, May 27

Hello everyone. I hope you all had a great Memorial Day Weekend and got a chance to get out of the house and crank up the grill if the weather was nice. Unfortunately, was unable to do either of those things as I was moving apartments. I also re-injured my knee in the process, complicating matters quite a bit. Luckily, everything was done on time despite the set back and we can get back to normal here once I can get everything unpacked. I will be coming up with the Helium Tank list soon so keep an eye out for that. Now, lets get to the good stuff.
