I like music do you? Maybe we could talk about music today? You start.
May 10, 2013: Paranoid
Yesterday I got checked out because I thought I might be having a thing with my heart. I woke up with crushing chest pains and I didn't want to be one of the many folks I've heard about who died despite being given clear signals. I'm fine, but I imagine things only get scarier with age.
Happy Birthday–May 10

Ed Barrow was the manager of the Boston Red Sox from 1918-1920, and is credited with making the decision to make Babe Ruth and outfielder, rather than a pitcher. He was then general manager of the New York Yankees from 1921-1944.
Harry Salsinger was the sports editor of the Detroit News for forty-nine years.
Allan Roth was the first full-time statistician employed by a major league team, being hired by Branch Rickey in 1947. He is credited with promoting the idea that on-base percentage is more valuable than batting average and with providing the first evidence that right-handed batters hit better against left-handed pitchers and vice versa.
Hideo Fujimoto holds the Japanese records for lowest career ERA and lowest one-season ERA.
John McMullen was the owner of the Houston Astros from 1979-1992.
For some of us, Herb Carneal will always be the Voice of the Twins.
It is rumored that Chris Berman has also been a baseball broadcaster, but no evidence supporting this rumor could be discovered.
2013 Game 31: Twins @ BoSox
6:10 (CDT) start time.
Kevin Correia vs. John Lackey
Watch for rain.
Gleeman has been telling us for weeks that Correia has a history of pitching well in April and then turning back into a pumpkin. That seemed to play out in his last start when he gave up four runs in five innings versus the Indians. Let's hope that history stops repeating itself tonight. And if it does have to repeat itself, let's see it be a repeat of last night.

May 9, 2013: Productivity
On days like yesterday, I wish I was on commission...though commission-based sales are part of what killed so much of the competition, I suppose.

also, in case anyone didn't know, it's really hard to play drums and sing at the same time.
