Hey, theTwins won!!

The Yankees are the team that I hate the most out of pretty much EVERY sports team in the entire universe.  And the fact that the Twins have never played against them well in my lifetime adds more to the bucket hatred.  So yeah, down 4-0 going into the 8th inning and winning 5-4 in 10 really brings a smile to my face.  Brian Duensing settled down after the 2 homeruns in the first 2 innings and the bullpen did the rest.  So now the 4 game series is tied at 1 a piece.  Looking forward to the next 2!  (Lots of numbers...."The numbers Mason!!!  What do they mean!")

And here's a random pic to finish off the post.  Good night all!

Weekend

Wasn't really in too much of a blogging mood these past couple days.  Not that I wasn't pissing away most of my weekend in front of my computer (which I was).  Here's a few things that I've noticed.

The Minnesota Twins got off to a rough start.  Losing two of three against Toronto wasn't bad, it's just the way we lost the games that was the troubling part.  13-3 on Friday (Rebecca Black song gets in my head every time I see that word), and 6-1 on Saturday.  Starting pitching was awful with the exception of Nick Blackburn today, and relief pitching wasn't much better.  Joe Nathan proved that he isn't as dominant as he once was before his Tommy John surgery.  His fastball has lost its velocity and his slider cannot be located correctly to save his life.  But hey, there's still 159 more games to prove me wrong...

And the new anime season has started.  I'm not sure how many people watch anime, but regardless, I'm a little bit excited.  I'll probably watch a good amount of the shows' first episodes to see which are the "keepers".
