After Monday night's victory, I was a little concerned that the Mayans were right about this year. Order has been restored, and all is apparently right with the world: The Yankees beat the Twins again tonight.
Despite actually scoring some runs against Sabathia early in the game, both leads they earned were promptly lost by Liriano who continued his struggles. Once Sabathia had a lead he mowed the Twins down like he seems to do every time they face him. I didn't really have my hopes up since, well, it's the Yankees. Add in watching Span & Gardy tossed by an insecure umpire, and it wasn't a terribly fun baseball game.
Win tomorrow and the series win is still in order. With Jason Marquis on the mound I have no fear!

Josh Willingham: Awesome baseball player.
Greg Gibson: Terrible umpire. Oh wait, that's redundant. Umpire.

Okay, so CoC beat me to the punch, but Nirvana's Nevermind was a watershed moment for music, and had an incredible impact on my taste. I threw out all the crappy glam rock I stole from my brother and dove headlong into the grunge movement. Yeah, I owned a lot of flannel. A couple more of the greatest hits from my early teens after the jump. Continue reading Nirvana – The Man Who Sold The World

It is a little early in the season to read too much into anything but there is one thing I can say for certain-- the 1991 Minnesota Twins did not win their third game of the season until their twelfth game.
Chew on that one for a minute.

The Red hot Chili Peppers' Blood Sugar Sex Magik is the first cassette tape I can remember purchasing with my own cash. I listened to that tape so many times that I wore it out. Continue reading Red Hot Chili Peppers – Breaking The Girl

There do not appear to be any major league players with connections to the Minnesota Twins who were born on this day. However, this is the birthday of Deolis Guerra (1989), so perhaps that will change at some point.
