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.

June 14, 2011: Lopsided?
The Bruins lead the Canucks 19-8 in goals scored, and yet somehow, there's a game seven tomorrow.
June 13, 2011: The Champs
Last night, history was made as Daneeka's Ghost became the first two-time winner of Spookymilk Survivor. Oh! And the Mavericks won their first-ever NBA Finals over a bunch of tin-eared, um, dumb-dumbs.
June 12, 2011: Accolades
Skim, the only female invitee, was praised for giving the best gift (a Clone Wars version of Obi-Wan Kenobi) at a boy's birthday party yesterday. Atta girl.
June 11, 2011: Totally Checked Out
I have some contractual obligations at work today, so I'll be there for five hours. The problem is, I have no real function there anymore, so I try to look busy while doing nothing, which is much more work than actual work would be. I will not miss this corporation, or corporations in general.

Perfect outcome for Dallas-based teams last night: Rangers lose, Mavs win.
2011 Game 62: Rangers at Twins
The Twins return from a road trip that turned out to be pretty respectable, particularly because of winning six of their last seven. The team isn't that good, but they weren't as bad as they played up to that point, either, so whatever.
Now the Twins host the West-leading Rangers in another chapter in the ongoing saga of Josh Hamilton vs. Jason Morneau. Who will they be jacking 28+ dongers against tonight?
Derek Holland 5-1, 74.1 IP, 4.36 ERA, 4.01 FIP, 3.72 xFIP, 1.1 WAR
Nick Blackburn 5-4, 75.2 IP, 3.57 ERA, 4.51 FIP, 3.85 xFIP, 0.5 WAR
Some similar numbers there, but Holland's value comes from his ability to strike some punks out (60 in 74.1 innings, while over the same workload, Blackburn has negative three strikeouts). Holland is a lefty who tends to wreck lefties, so it's all up to Cuddyer and pals tonight. Ahem.
I'm feeling a little better about the Twins after the last week, but the Rangers could easily bring that to a screeching halt if our team continues to lose at home. Let's avoid that, Nick "Big Game Ace Superstar" Blackburn.
June 9, 2011: Series Win
A week and a half ago, I may have said that the Twins would never beat the Indians again.
2011 Game 61: Twins at Clevelands
Not sure who's supposed to be on Wednesday, but they ain't here.
Pavano vs. Masterson.
June 8, 2011: Tin-Eared
This NBA final is going to give me a heart attack.
