I was going to rotate my avatar, but will leave the Homestar Runner nod in deference to the Detroit blog. Nice find, Mr. Mak Homsar = Chris Shelton?

Put that into the equivalence converter and we get that the Twins should score... 2 runs in 7 IP? Can that be right? Rochester scored 3 runs against him over 5.2 IP in his last start.

I don't know where he got this strikeout fetish all of a sudden this season. Looking at his <a href="http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/V/Matt-Vasquez.shtml" rel="nofollow">Baseball Cube entry</a>, he's much more Jeremy-like. 7-12, 3.73 ERA, 129/50 K/BB, 21 HRs in 173.67 innings last year at AA Erie.

I always find it amusing that someone had enough time to make a big sign like that, but not to check that they spelled things correctly. The comments on that Lookout Landing thread are pretty good.

I breifly looked for some pictures of the newly shorn Ordonez, but couldn't find anything. You can see it on the highlight reel from yesterday's game as he goes deep off of Jeff Weaver at mlb.com or espn.com. Either the haircut didn't affect his swing, or he was hitting against Jeff Weaver (you be the judge).
