I’ll be honest, last night’s loss to the Yankees didn’t really hurt all that much for me.
The reason? Because I turned it off early and finally watched Wall-E for the first time. A much better use of my time.

A great date overall (it is, after all, my birthday), but not a great date for the Twins to play the Yankees.

1998 David Wells throws a perfect game against the Twins.
2002 Jason Giambi walk-off grand slam with the Yankees down by 3 in the 14th.
2009 Walk-off homer by Johnny Damon makes the third straight walk-off [...]

A long time ago, in a galaxy identical to our own, I went to see Star Wars: Attack of the Clones on my twenty-first birthday. (This probably says something about me, that rather than go to a bar I opted for a sci-fi flick (there was some drinking at midnight the eve before, but [...]

I love biting the ears off of all the various bunny-shaped candies. I love going to church in my best suit. I love Easter egg fights. I love going out for brunch. [...]

First, I want to take a moment to recognize the tragic death of the Angel’s Nick Adenhart, who died in a car crash. It’s always sad when someone so young (22) dies, and when that person is a public figure such as a ballplayer it gives us all pause. Best wishes go out to Adenhart’s [...]
