Zero to Awesome in 60 Seconds
Johan Santana struck out 17 Texas Strangers this afternoon.
Click here to see just how awesome he is. This link leads you to footage of his 17 strikeout pitches, shown in one minute. I would pay $500.00 just to be able to throw Johan's slider. Just for one day. Just to know what it feels like.
Even the non-baseball fans out there should check it out. It's pretty impressive.
By the way, I found this footage courtesy of one of The Deets' latest projects. He started (or helped start?) a website called Walleye. It has Minnesota specific blogs that are shown as they are updated. Or you can view the posts that are "hooked" (recommended) the most.
It's fun and a little addicitive. But the good thing is, since it's Minnesota only, it's not like new blog posts are coming every minute or something. So it's pretty easy to stay on top of.

Wow, that is awesome.
Thanks for the walleye.mn plug. As of today, the site pulls in around 1000 new stories a day. The most popular categories are Personal, Politics, News, and Running as of today. Clicking the Fresh Nibbles link takes you to a river of fresh content in each category.
The more people who are hooking stories, the better the site becomes for other users. Reciprocity is key.
Johan is the man! Great clip! And to think, I was supposed to be at the game but instead went to Vallerfair instead...and got rained out. Should have been inside at Dome sweet Dome.
Why wouldn't you pay more than $500 to throw that pitch? What's holding you back?
Please write another blog post for your fans in England.
