Well, in reality, (that sorry part of existence) the Twins did not in fact "win big". They beat the hated Anaheim Angels 3-0 behind a complete game shutout from Brad Radke. It was, as can be imagined, a brilliant pitching performance. The Twins racked up 12 hits, 9 of which were singles. Two were solo homeruns, and one was a 2B. It took the Twins 4 hits to score one run in the second. They manged to keep up theat percentage for the rest of the game. This amazing figure is a testament to the defense and scrappiness of the Anaheim angels, who managed to bring the tying run to the plate despite getting 7 less hits then the victorious Minnesota team.
In unrelated news, Krakatoa has not erupted. There are no herds of Wildebeest sweeping across the plains. Well, actually, there might be, but they most probably have died of AIDS, much like the rest of Africa. The southern part that is. It is unfortunate that Egypt, despite being part of the continent claiming to be the cradle of life is mostly free of this epidemic. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the occupiers of the Sinai were to suddenly require only the attention of burial parties? I know that this is a hopeless fancy, much like the one I have of living in Longbourne, with the hygienic aid of showers. All those people might have looked spiffy in their various vestments, but that places must have stunk to high heaven.
Have any of you, my wondeful readers, heard a commercial for Bellacera? It is an Italian dinner wine which has the most horrible radio advertisements. The beginning is corny but all right, but the last part says, and I quote, "It's going to be a beautiful evening, or as they say in Italian, a Bellacera." Ooph, such horrible prose.
Well, have a good night, Greenmantle.
In Case you were wondering, the Krakatoa bit was from Fawlty Towers.
Sorry I dont understand - I'm from Barcelona.
