Yeah, I’m not sure why we were so damn cute either. That’s The Cuz in the background and and me in the diaper. And my doll that I still remember. If I didn’t know better, I would say we’re in our grandparents’ station wagon.

15 long days without franciso liriano

1twin080806.standalone.jpgIn the midst of our aweosme run at securing the American League Wild Card playoff spot, my lovely Twins may have hit a huge bump in the road. Little Francisco Liriano is about to go on the 15 day disabled list. Considering he’s got the lowest ERA of any pitcher in the American League and is tied for 3rd in strikeouts, despite only starting 15 games since he entered the starting rotation in mid-May, it’s gonna hurt us a bit. And by a bit, I mean a lot.

He only played four innings against the Tigers last night, and completely missed his scheduled start before that due to left elbow sorenes. His July 31st MRI showed no structural damage, which is a relief for 22-year-old Liriano, the Twins, and every Twins fan in the world.

The Twins already called up Matt Garza from AAA today to fill the 5th spot in the Twins pitching rotation that has has absolutely no reliability at all this season. Garza could use some time in the bullpen throwing long relief, just like Liriano did to start the season, but at this point in the season, I guess there’s no time for that.

Either Boof “I suck” Bonser or Scott “I suck also” Baker will be called up to replace Liriano in the rotation. Regardless of which one they choose, it’s going to be a scary, scary situation.

With my Gym Buddyâ„¢ now living in Bangor, Maine, I haven’t been to the gym yet this month. In fact, I haven’t been to the gym since July 18th. I’m not a winner right now!

I have nothing motivational to say to myself to go. I’m just going to quit being stupid and go. Besides, how else am I going to A) walk 60 miles in 3 days without dying or B) get there 8 times this month to get $20 off my gym membership, if I don’t start going now?

Now see my dog model:

It’s like glamour shots for dogs. If only he could raise his paw up under his chin.

If there was ever a time when I wanted to give Lindsay Lohan a knuckle sandwich, it’d be right about now. She wants to go to Iraq to entertain the troops.

Even without Sen. Clinton, Lohan is confident she can handle an Iraq trip on her own. “I’m not afraid of going,” she says. “My security guard is going to take me to a gun range when I get back to L.A., and I’m going to start taking shooting lessons. [link]

Her shooting lessons will clearly prevent her from being sniped down and/or exploded by a roadside bomb. When she returns, Lindsay Lohan will put an end to all of the U.S.-involved conflict taking place in Iraq. Then she can be President and everything will be right in all of the world.
