Watching the Runs Come In

Through the first 7 games of the season the Minnesota Twins have scored 29 runs and have allowed their opponents 29 runs.

The Twins have not scored earlier than the third inning in any game, and have scored a total of 6 runs through the first three innings of those games.

Their opponents have scored 17 runs through the first three innings, 12 in the first inning alone. They have scored 5 runs durring the middle innings, and 7 in the last three.

The Twins have scored 17 runs during the middle innings, and 5 during the last three.

In tonight's game, the Twins allowed a run in the first and second innings, keeping that streak of letting the opponent draw first blood. Then they allowed two more in the sixth. This time, Minnesota scored five runs in the first inning, the first time they scored in the opening frames this season. They followed up with two more in the fourth, and another in the eighth.

'Bout time they started scoring early in the game. Keep it up, guys! Congrats to Terry Tiffee on his first HR of the season and 3 RBIs. Way to start your stint in the big show!

Someone once said the easiest way to trace your family history is to run for office. There's a lot of truth in that old chestnut. So the other day I was glancing through the online Deseret News and noticed an article about Mitt Romney and his LDS roots. As I was reading the article, I cam...

The ST XI Screenwriters Speak

TrekWeb posted an excerpt from an MTV interview with the screenwriters for ST XI. The TrekWeb article can be found here . Here's some highlights: "The challenge of the movie is to be 100 percent true to the fanbase but also to bring in a whole new group of people who've never seen 'Trek' before," Kurtzman said. >My comment: Isn't that what they've all said before? And how well did it work? Of course, this one just might do it. Maybe. Orci and Kurtzman also confirmed that the film is not in any way a prequel but a reimagining of the franchise. Whether that means a whole new look for Star Trek remains in question. "We're not going to start totally from scratch," Orci said. "We want it to feel like it's updated and of the now. That's actually the discussions we're having now: how to keep the look of the universe yet have it not look like nothing's new. It's tricky." >My comment: Reimagining is so cliche....
