i dunno. my early impression is this is what simon and garfunkel might have sounded like in their early years if they were swedish sisters (hell, they kind of look like simon and garfunkel if they were swedish sisters).

Oy, this has been one turd sandwich of a season, and now DJ Cuddles looks to be headed to the DL. Figures. My mother always told me that if I couldn't say something nice then I shouldn't say anything at all.

Brian Wheat – Looking Alive

Video 3 Comments

One of my best friends recently moved to Minneapolis.  In addition to his duties at a professional teacher of high school biology, he also plays songs. Once he finally sets up some gigs at Minneapolis you had better believe at least a couple of you are going to go. Or I am going to guilt the heck out of you in hopes of making you attend.

2011 Twins Game Recaps

Game 128 – Orioles 8, Twins 1

Another Twins game, another brutal loss. Tonight they were murdered by accused murderer manslaughterer Alfredo Simon and the mighty 49-77 Orioles. JJ Hardy reminded us again how stupid that trade was. I imagine the rest of the season will continue to be like watching a dog take a dump in your lawn in slow motion. Only 34 more games to go, then we can start counting down towards Spring Training and the beginning of next season when the Twins will finally be at .500 again.

Final Score: Bodymore Orioles 8, Minnesota Twins 1.
Twins Record: 55-73, 15.0 GB in the AL Central.
WP: Alfredo Simon (4-6) | LP: Brian "Right Handed Batters Have a .961 OPS Against Me" Duensing (8-13)

Ty Segall – Goodbye Bread

Video 2 Comments

while we're on the subject of requests, bootsy asked us to play one a little while back. i told him to post it his damn self, but i guess he's shy, or summthin... in his words:

I'm digging on Goodbye Bread, the new record by Ty Segall. Here's the title track, first as rocking electric version (static imagery, but killer sound)

and then solo in a bathroom [ed: after the jump].

2011 Game 127: Mauers w/Pauers at P*ssy Single Hitters

237 Comments

Tonight, the Twins get to take on somebody their own size for a change. The O's are a sad 47-77, on pace for 101 losses per coolstandings.com.

Pitching matchup:
Zach Jeremy Britton for the O's (scheduled; he's coming off the 15-day DL, although it was for a strain in his non-pitching shoulder)
Carl Pavanostache for the Twins.

Bal'more is tied with Minnesota and Seattle for having used the most position players this season (35 different players have had PA), but they've gotten much better offensive production out of all that deck-chair shuffling (team OPS+ of 99, compared to 85 for the Twinkies).

On the bright side, the O's pitching staff leads the AL in HR allowed by a wide margin (157; Twins are tied for second at 130) and is last in the AL in "defensive efficiency" according to b-r (Twins are two rungs higher). So I'm rooting for a slugfest. How long has it been since Jimbo had a three-HR game??

(oh, and that Wieters guy? He's hitting 261/319/404 with 12 HRs and 69:32 K:BB in 426 PA, compared to Joe's 288/350/352, 1 HR and 33:23 in 277; so I suppose you could say that the moniker kind of fits this season)
