What do you get your beloved for your 62nd anniversary? Is it Gold? China? I know the 60th is Diamond, but I can’t think of anything better than that… There has to be something we can do! Oh, I have an idea!
Why don’t we have everyone in baseball wear your number for one day?! That [...]

So, Friday I got done with work and a meeting and hurried home, excited for a weekend of baseball, specifically for watching the Twins play on MLB Extra Innings, as it was then the free trial time (now I am back to watching on teh computer). Let me tell you what. The weekend was like [...]
Really? Again?

Hey all ~
I refuse to write a post about last night’s game of any substance. Let’s leave it at this:
Blackburn earned his way off my list.
Tolbert made me realize why I missed him… and why I didn’t.
Whoever’s idea it was to PH Young for Gomez is an idiot. And a genius.
The bullpen was, well, the [...]
There’s a fire in the kitchen; or, more offensive futility.

Have you ever had one of those moments? You know, the kind that happens when you are almost done with something (like cleaning the kitchen), but then you take a step back and take a looooong look at what is left. It really doesn’t seem like much. Nobody will see the dust under the shelves. [...]

Over the weekend, the Twins announced their call-ups for the stretch run. If you have been living under a rock, then you haven’t heard. THey were Ryan Jorgenson (catcher), Matt Macri (utility IF, 3B), Matt Tolbert (UT INF), Jason Pridie (OF), Jose Mijares (LHP), Phil Humber (RHP, SP), and Bobby Korecky (RHP, CL).Really, only one [...]

(Note: This post is mostly an expansion on posts I left here and here today. I wanted to take the space to thresh out the ideas more fully, so here you go.)
(NOTE: I will be going on my first real vacation in several years on Saturday, and thus might not have another post up for [...]

The bullpen needs help. There, I said it. We have seen, over the past few weeks, the decline of a few of the former studs of our bullpen, ending in the release of Juan Rincon, who was considered by some to be the best setup guy in baseball a few years ago. Now we are [...]

Okay, so after the Yankees series, I had to take a break. I have said before that I am a law student, and this week was bidding period for Early Interview Week (EIW), which is an incredibly complicated process. For those non-law students among you, EIW is the last week before classes where rising 2Ls [...]

The joker at MLB.tv that decided that I could somehow pick up the Twins game from here in DC, despite the fact that all the cool kids out here were watching the Phillies get DESTROYED by Arizona. I couldn’t adjust my aerials (does anyone still use these? anyone?) sufficiently to pick up the game I [...]
