Okay. This team stinks, but last week, I posted the game plan for victory – and they followed it to victory. The best part? Absolutely nothing has changed. Sure, Max Scherzer might strike out 30 more per nine innings than Carl Pavano (I think I actually saw Carl Pavano summon the ghosts of baseball players [...]

Game 40: Twins @ Brewers

Well, hey. It looks like we’ve got ourselves a little winning streak here. Let’s do some in-depth analysis and see how the odds look for extending it.

PITCHERS Carl Pavano (2-3, 4.38 FIP, 4.28 xFIP, 0 k/9) Yovani Gallardo (2-4, 3.89 FIP, 3.96 xFIP, made up name)

Edge: Initially, it would seem that the Brewers [...]

After too many games against east and west coast teams, it’s time to flip this season over and give it a good shake so we can focus on losing within the division now. The Twins kick off [...]

The internet connection is extremely spotty at my house right now, so instead of giving you the well thought out, well researched behemoth of a game log intro that you all deserve, I’m going to spout off random things that I like and dislike about the team without backing any of it up with anything [...]

Oy. Considering the season start we’re having, heading to New York City for a four-game series against the Evil Empire just seems sadistic. What, the brain trust that is MLB scheduling couldn’t wait a few weeks to add insult to [...]

Sometimes with late season baseball you struggle for reasons to watch. That will not be the case tonight as there is a pitching matchup for the ages in Bruce Chen against Carl Pavano. It doesn’t get any better than this, you guys.

Tonight, the Twins get to take on somebody their own size for a change. The O’s are a sad 47-77, on pace for 101 losses per coolstandings.com.

Pitching matchup: Zach Jeremy Britton for the O’s (scheduled; he’s coming off the 15-day DL, although it was for a strain in his non-pitching shoulder) Carl Pavanostache [...]

A pinch hit recap for Twayn…I wish I was on vacation and he were writing this.

I was really looking forward to having all of our opening day starters back together again. Then Cuddy tweaked something in his neck in early batting practice and Kubel had to sub in right. Good start out of Pavano. [...]

It’d be nice if Jim Thome would hurry up and hit number 600, so I can move on with my plan of watching games until we’re losing by two, because we’re back to the point where the starting pitching is bad, and a Twins lead sometimes seems like an insurmountable deficit. Things are tough to [...]

Tonight, the Twins play the first of four against the scarier of the two not-scary-to-any-other-divisions-out-there Central division leaders. Of course, the home field advantage is nullified by the pitching matchup:

Carl Pavano 6-6, 130 IP, 3.88 K/9, 1.73 BB/9, 4.08 ERA, 3.97 FIP, 4.12 xFIP, 1.6 WAR Justin Verlander 12.5, 157 IP, 8.77 K/9, 1.89 [...]

I had a post written up about how much Matt Capps sucks, but I wrote it while angry and somewhat inebriated. Today when I read it, I realized that it wasn’t even quarter-bakef. We can’t have substandard stuff like that, so instead, I’m going to half-bake it on the fly.

Carl Pavano (6-6, 97 ERA+)

Thirty games ago, I don’t think any of us would thought we could be 8 games out at the halfway point. Fifteen games ago, I doubt that any of us would’ve been happy with that result, but here we are.

Tonight, we’ve got Carl Pavano taking on Chris Narveson tonight. When these matches up last [...]

No matter what arbitrary end points you chose the Minnesota Twins have been playing pretty good baseball as of late. They have won 6 in a row– 9 of 10– 14 of 16– well, if you go back much further than June 1st it doesn’t [...]

Hmm…starting to think that yickit has moved on from baseball or something. (But seriously, yickit, if you have something ready go ahead and edit this).

Floyd vs. Pavano.
