Chris Parmelee is a hero! Oswaldo Arcia is a hero! But Quad Cities puts the "boo" in Shibuya.

May 31, 2012: Being Prepared
I set this up a couple of days ago because I didn't expect to be online yesterday. If something major happened yesterday that I'm not mentioning here, there's the reason.
ZZ Top – Dust My Broom
The Twins needs to clean their broom up after the recent sweep.

Loading... Game 50 Recap: Yeah, it was that Frankie
Twins 4, Oaktown zero
WP: Francisco (1-5 7.20 ERA) LP: Ross (2-6 5.94 ERA)
Save? No.
Fangraphs loves it when a plan comes together.

(yeah, this isn't safe for work)
Oh, mama. Frankie was pretty awesome today. He went 6 surrendering three hits and two walks while striking out nine. He gave up zero runs, none of which were earned. Awesome. Burnett and Gray finished off the remaining three innings allowing only one more base runner.
The big pussy didn't get a single hit today. Boooooooooooooooooooooo to the 3 walks and 2 runs he got today. The local nine didn't need him anyway. Thank goodness Willinghammer was there to Thrillingham us (again(!)).
Yeah, today was a good day.
Culture club: LA is a weird place, and I've had a weird trip. Tomorrow, I've got an appointment to meet up with printer I totally respect: Richard Nielsen. Richard founded Untitled Prints and Editions in Los Angeles' Chinatown as a multidiscipline printmaking publisher and contract printshop. He's printed a bunch of great art over the years, and offers a print membership program that offers members 2 free impressions a year. Check out the prints Richard helped Gregor Mobius create based on his work on visual DNA.
2012 Game 50: Return of the F Bomb
DAY GAME ALERT!
#Pitchers
A's: Tyson Ross (2-5 5.79) If I were an A's fan Ross's K picture would be his face on a bag of chicken.
Twins: Francisco Liriano (0-5 8.47 ERA) I'm afraid to look at advanced stats today. Maybe tomorrow.
I for one, welcome our new Dictator who, having fought his way out of the bullpen, has found himself the master of the high ground. Hold on to it for dear life Frankie. I'm also recommending everyone start Liriano in their respective fantasy leagues. Unless of course you are playing me.
DMitt caught last night. Who catches today? GO JOE. Doesn't there seem to be some sort of link between butters and Liriano? GO JOE! Butera might need to pitch, so ... GO JOE!!
The Dictator and Chairman are going to live large today.
#UPDATE:

Rochester overcomes a poor start by Nick Blackburn. Miguel Sano hits his thirteenth. After the teams combine for six home runs, Jonathan Goncalves hits a little league homer to give Beloit the victory.
May 30, 2012: Sad
I'm temporarily at the mercy of the common room to get online. Once again, I'm finding that I'm a little lost without internet access.
