Game 69: The Bostons vs. The Minnesotas

38 Comments

Hughes (7-2, 3.17 ERA) vs. Lester (7-7, 3.33 ERA)

Its not a great time to lose a few with the Royals juggernaut cruising along like it has been lately. Man, is that weird to type. Does anyone know where this has come from and can the Twins have some of it?

The Twins have the right guy going on the mound today in the "don't make it a losing streak" category. I can't remember a free agent pitcher the Twins have signed that has consistently made me happy like the Hughes signing has. Moral victories, ammiright?

Cup of Coffee

17 June 2014: Shelter from the Idiot Wind

87 Comments

Last night would have been exciting if I didn't have to get up this morning. (Thank goodness for the AeroPress I keep at the office.) Apparently at least one tornado touched down in the city, and there are power lines and trees down all over the place. On the bus ride in I noted several lovely old trees in city parks were toppled or had their trunks snapped. We escaped mostly unscathed, though I haven't checked the garden yet.

Everything okay down by you, cheaptoy?

The Statler Brothers — Class of ’57

Video

The Statler Brothers sang a little country and a lot of gospel. They were backup singers for Johnny Cash. I've always viewed them as the barbershop quarter of country music.

The Class of '57 is the song I feel highlights their vocal ranges the best while still being whimsical.
