Sanchez against Deduno? That didn't go so well the first time. Then again ol' Sam has a 1.50 ERA since then, and since a lot of his other peripherals are sketchy at best, that's the stat I'm choosing to optimistically cherry pick.

June 15, 2013: A Lifetime
I'm pretty sure this is my nine-year anniversary of being with my current company. I don't hate it, but I hope it isn't all there is.
Pearl Jam – Just Breathe
One of my favorite "non-grunge" PJ tunes...though, who's to say it ain't?
Also - not willing to test the Stones/Beatles preferences round these parts (seen that one get bloody)....and yet, one's a cover and one's a "feat."

Dave Cameron looked at the previous 365 days of baseball so he could point out how good the A's have been. That is the team Jeff must be watching; they really might just win out the season. I link to it because the Twins have a .430 winning percentage over the past year, which would be a two game improvement over last year if they maintained that through the end of the season. I expected this to be less depressing when I started, oops.
