I love San Diego -- go there every year for a tax conference. Great stuff to do.

I would have thought San Diego had more fun stuff to do than taxes.

 

Huh.

[LaBombo]

 

Ervin Zentana! What's the lowest number of pitches for a complete game shutout? 

 

Not sure, but I'd be willing to bet that one of the ten lowest totals was set while pitching against the hacktastic Loserville Twins teams of the mid-to-late '90s.

Huh.

Tax lawyers party pretty hard. It takes lots of intensity to be a good tax lawyer.

Maybe Falvey knew he'd be taking over the Twins in 2017, which is why he gave Rob a reason to opt out of his Indians contract by promoting younger players.

Evil genius!

The mild-mannered seminars about depreciation and 501©s are just an elaborate cover for what goes on after dark. Glunn's postcard tells only part of the story...

Still got 93 mph...

[Puckett34]

What a game by Santana.  And done by midnight!

[LaBombo]

Well, a CGSHO in mid-June never hurts when you're in the hunt for starting the All Star game.

[glunn]

Another great win.

[Blake]

Not a shutout but this was pretty unforgettable:

 

May 20, 2005: Carlos Silva threw 74 pitches in the Twins' 7-1 victory over the Brewers.

Last at bat, Santana threw rings around Posey.

[snepp]

Awesome work E-San, I guess you're not washed up quite yet.

[jimbo92107]

Wow, immense control of that change up and slider. Was that 90 pitches, or 91?

 

Ervin Zentana!

 

E-Zen!!

Winner:

God, that looks so good right now.

[Blake]

Outstanding effort by Mr. Santana.

 

Hopefully, I'll be home in time to watch Berrios. 

 

IDPA tomorrow. I've not been for a while and feel the need for shooting holes in cardboard while on the clock.

Winner:

Now that's more like it!!

 

[LaBombo]

 

Another great win.

 

Man, can they hypnotize these guys into thinking they're on the road when they come back to Target?

 

And I can't help but think of how bad last year got when I imagine Giants fans going from breathing a sigh of relief as Santana came to the plate with two outs to then debating the merits of throwing their televisions out the window.

[70charger]

Well that was one of the best games I've seen pitched in person, ever. And he generated enough offense to power himself to a win. Great game.

[DocBauer]

Missed all the game except for updates as I was at the Omaha Stormchasers game. Live baseball! But what a game I Missed!

 

Right now, have to say, "trade Santana?" Screw that idea! We need this guy the next 2 years and just continue to build and keep him around!

Looks like slept through a good game.

 

Rolling over and sleeping another few hours. Said i'd be up 6ish to be in a parade some 2 hours away...

Don't forget your tuba.

[ashbury]

Aren't you glad we didn't draw it out?

 

One of the first lessons of college life as i understand it is mandatory=optional.

I never heard that particular formulation of the principle. Into my handy-dandy quotes file it goes. Very nice.

Brought a sousaphone... That good enough?
