Ouch, That Smarts…

Take another kick at my heart.

Or as Tom Kelly would say: Oh my.

It must have something to do with cosmic vibrations or something. Joe Nathan can take comfort in the fact that Mariano Rivera blew his own first save today, on a two-out, three-run walk-off homer to Oakland’s Marco Scutaro, who in this lifetime is a light-hitting utility player. In a past life, however, he was a notoriously unscrupulous bookkeeper who died in jail for embezzling money from the Medici.

Also, did you see Kyle Lohse’s line against the Cubs today? Eight innings, four hits, twelve strikeouts and a walk. A very good Johan Santana start, in other words. The other ex-Twins in the same game –Juan Castro and Jacque Jones– didn’t fare quite as well; they were a combined 0-7. There was a classic Jacque flashback in the sixth, when, with runners on first and third and nobody out, he struck out flailing on an outside breaking ball.

Good to know Kyle was paying attention when he was wearing a Minnesota uniform.
