The NFL started last night. I'm sure this was a huge deal to a lot of people, but I found out accidentally that there was a Wednesday game. Good for them, I guess.
all right then, let's do this.

This one was a laugher. I went to a friend's to lend him my DVDs of <em>The Wire</em> right around when the game started. I got out of the car with runners on 2nd & 3rd, one out, and Konerko at the plate. When I got back to the car, Mr. Provus said the Twins were "leading by 4." I assumed that Diamond had wriggled out of the jam in the first inning and the Twins had a nice couple of innings. Then he said it was the bottom of the second, and the Twins were up 7-3. I was a bit sad I missed the first offensive outburst in... I can't even remember how long. But I turned the game on at home. Thankfully I was witness to that glorious 5th inning. I can't describe how wonderful it was, so I'll let the box score do the talking:
1. Justin Morneau walks.
2. Ryan Doumit singles on a sharp line drive to right fielder Alex Rios. Justin Morneau to 3rd.
• Pitching Change: Leyson Septimo replaces Dylan Axelrod.
3. Chris Parmelee grounds out, third baseman Kevin Youkilis to first baseman Paul Konerko. Justin Morneau scores. Ryan Doumit to 2nd.
• Pitching Change: Philip Humber replaces Leyson Septimo.
4. Trevor Plouffe triples (1) on a line drive to right fielder Alex Rios. Ryan Doumit scores.
5. Eduardo Escobar singles on a line drive to right fielder Alex Rios. Trevor Plouffe scores.
6. Ben Revere singles on a ground ball to right fielder Alex Rios. Eduardo Escobar to 3rd.
7. Jamey Carroll out on a sacrifice fly to right fielder Alex Rios. Eduardo Escobar scores.
8. Joe Mauer walks. Ben Revere to 2nd.
• Coaching visit to mound.
9. Josh Willingham singles on a line drive to right fielder Alex Rios. Ben Revere scores. Joe Mauer to 3rd.
10. Justin Morneau walks. Josh Willingham to 2nd.
11. Ryan Doumit singles on a line drive to left fielder Dayan Viciedo. Joe Mauer scores. Josh Willingham scores. Justin Morneau to 2nd.
12. Chris Parmelee homers (5) on a fly ball to center field. Justin Morneau scores. Ryan Doumit scores.
13. Trevor Plouffe singles on a line drive to left fielder Dayan Viciedo.
• Pitching Change: Brian Omogrosso replaces Philip Humber.
14. Eduardo Escobar flies out to left fielder Dayan Viciedo.
I tuned out before Swampsludge gave up a bunch of runs, thankfully, so in my mind this game was even more one sided. That was fun.
Satchel Paige once posed a ponderous question I'd like all of us to consider: "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?" That is to say, if you throw chronological time out the window, how old would your body be? How old are you in biological time?

Stress, insomnia and a hacking cough have been killing me for the past few days, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to wake up feeling better today. If I don't, I'll let you know.
Impromptu theme week? You got it.
