June 15, 2011: The Ides

Is it called the ides of June, or is that just a May um, March thing? (Oh, all months that start with M are the same) Anyway, if you haven't noticed yet, the Lexicon is above and as of yet has just a handful of entries. If you'd like to add to it and don't have the permissions, email me.

Carl Pavano

 

Let's warm up for the first game of the series against the White Sox with a miniature version of The Nation Has Problems, sound good? Great.

On Saturday a Twins starter retired the first 12 batters he faced.

On Sunday a Twins starter retired the first 19 batters he faced.

The last time the Twins opened a series on a Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox the Twins starter did not allow a single hit.

How many batters will the Twins starter, Carl Pavano, face before allowing a hit tonight?

Sadly, there is no spoiler button for when you are writing a post. It seems each of you will have to watch 9 innings of baseball to find out. Oh crap, I hope I didn't give it away.

Let's keep this streak of butt-kicking alive. Win Twins.

Symphony X – Set the World on Fire

After yesterday's vocal quality disaster (although I felt the band was pretty tight, at least.) I made sure to listen to this one all the way through. The sound quality isn't the greatest, but the performance is far better.

Anyway, all that anyone really needs to take away from this is that Russell Allen and Michael Romeo are awesome.
