Rilo Kiley – More Adventurous
I know that we spun some Rilo Kiley recently but I have I really been digging on this song as of late.

Twins 7, Indian 5
WP: Matt Capps (wait, what?) LP: Sipp
SAVE! Joe "that's right bitches" Nathan
Fangraphs is confused about Capps winning, too.
MLB recap, spoiler ---> the local nine win this one.
Ah, everyone's favorite feature comes roaring back to life with a Joe Nathan save on a Wednesday. Let's look at the progress of the king of the savers race, shall we? Craig Kimbrel and The Beard are tied for the lead with 29 saves. The Beard gets extra credit for style and blowing up fewer games. The ninth guy on the list plays in the AL, for De-toilet to boot, and has 25 saves on the season. There's a lot of baseball to be played, and a lot of saves to be racked up. Stay tuned saves fans!
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. The last two games have been some of the most exciting baseball that I've watched all season. How awesome was it to bloop and dink our way to walk off on Tuesday night, and then to double down on Wednesday and split the series with the Tribe to stay alive in the central. Blackie pitched a hell of a ballgame getting tagged with only 1 earned run, but the defense behind (and in front) of him allowed 3 unearned runs to score. Joe Mauer flashed the leather a couple of times because he's the best evah. The bullpen made things very interesting, but pulled through to keep the score knotted at 4. Laddie led off the eighth with a ground rule double, Mauer pussied a single, Cuddy looked vintage, and Thome drew a walk. If Orlando Ballgame had been just a little bit taller, if had had been a baller, he would have robbed Danny V of the go ahead single, but he wasn't and he didn't. Del was Del. Nishi cracked the game open with a two run single. Drew was Drew. Joe Nathan allowed the obligatory closer's donger (thankfully it was of the solo kind), and the Twins win. I don't care if the Twins come back to make the postseason this year, but I love the way they drag me back in just when I think I'm out.

Masterson in 2011:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2011 | vs L | 70.0 | - - - | 297 | 78 | 16 | 2 | 34 | 32 | 3 | 17 | 0 | 3 | 41 |

I would like to see the following line up tonight:
Span, Laddie, Joe, Justin, Jimmer, L'orange, Repko (9), Nishi, Revere (7).
[pipe dream .jpg]
I have a feeling Masterson is going to make Cuddy look silly tonight. Time for Jimmer and Joe to do some work.
Let's get one back tonight.
Third “Monday” Movie Day
Yeah...I forgot. Plus, this way I'm not fighting with the doubleheader.
Movie of the Month: Kick-Ass (2010, Matthew Vaughn)
Now, this isn't the movie of the month because it's the best movie I saw this month. I saw much better fare, but the best film I saw (Out of Sight) has been covered here already. I wanted to cover this one because of what it did poorly. Spoilers abound. In fact, I'll use the spoiler tag.
Okay, one more gripe, this time on The Crazies (2010, Breck Eisner)
Aaaaaaand sigh. What have you seen?
