I have played a song or two from this concert before but while we are on a middling sound quality kick I had might as well play another. Superdrag will go down as a unfairly forgotten band of the 90's because of "Sucked Out". They deserved better.

Loading... I have wanted to play this band for a long time, as they are a favorite of mine, but there is a real lack of live video from them. Furthermore the quality of live footage from them is kind of, well, bad. This video is no different.

I strongly suggest looking these guys up for studio clips, they rule.

My whole team is on the DL/ we can't stop losing and our catcher is a club house cancer/ maybe partying will help.

I know it is cool to say the Get Up Kids suck but the Something to Write Home About album most definitely did not suck, at least in 2000.

After today the Twins come back from San Francisco. Well, back to Milwaukee.

Are we having fun yet?
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 look too good but you get my point. The Minnesota Twins are starting to do what many predicted them to do at the start of the season, be a winning team with aspirations of a division title. This isn't new information to anyone here, of course.
If the Twins do the unexpected and climb back from from 16 or so games back from the division lead to claim the AL Central title there is going to be a ton of revisionist history claiming this team got hot once star players like Joe Mauer, Jason Kubel, Jim Thome, Tsuyoshi Nishioka, Glen Perkins (heh), Justin Morneau, Denard Span, Kevin Slowey, and Joe Nathan all returned to the line up from injury. Only then did this team start to live up to its expectations. I am just here to remind everyone the following players are the ones who trimmed the division lead down to 7.5:
Ben Revere, Rene Tosoni, Brian Dinkelman, Matt Tolbert, Rene Rivera, Drew Butera, Luke Hughes, Jason Repko, Trevor Plouffe!, Anthony Sleestak, Phil Dumatrait, Chuck James, Eric Hacker, and well, not so much Jim Hoey.
Just remember Brian Dinkelman when Reusse complains on the radio in September saying this team had no chance until their players got healthy. Remember Rene Tosoni when Souhan says the Twins would have won the division by 15 games if Joe Mauer wasn't such a wuss. Remember Chuck James when the Twins prepare to face the Yankees in the first round of the playoffs, again.
Summer starts today and the Twins are looking good.
I don't know about you but this is starting to get fun.
Mags sent me a request a little while back, this is me coming through on that. His words below:
The Foo Fighters live in some dude's garage. If Dave Grohl wasn't already #1 on my list of "rock stars who seem like cool dudes and I want to hang out with", this definitely would have put him there.

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.
You would think there are a ton of recorded versions of Bob Dylan covers out there. You would be wrong.
