"The only way [Carl Pavano] is getting out of this...is with a heart-felt apology and a navy Range Rover with tan leather": 2012 Twins

SOUTHINGTON — The family of major league pitcher Carl Pavano told police that a former Southington High School classmate was trying to extort money and a luxury SUV from Pavano by threatening to reveal personal information about him, according to a search warrant affidavit filed by police earlier this month.

In an interview Monday, Bedard said he was writing a journal as a way of giving closure to what he said was an “emotional and physical relationship” between him and Pavano which lasted for three years while the two were high school classmates.

“I’m sure they don’t want any of this getting out there,” Bedard said Monday.

DeGennaro called Bedard’s contention that he had a relationship with Pavano “clearly false” and an attempt to “extort her family,” according to the affidavit. Bedard told DeGennaro that he had a $1.2 million book deal.

“That is my best offer, an apology and a Land Rover and I’ll kill the project,” Bedard wrote.

southington was my high schools main rival. towns full of savages imo

so much for that great spring training liriano had

damn, when was the last time M&M homered in the same game? I had no idea Morneau was even on the active roster, last I heard there were still concussion effects.

ELIAS: The Twins have nine hits in their last four games, the fewest for any team in a four-game stretch in modern major-league history.

8-23

gardy-watch 2012?

Jose Bautista still has more HRs at Target than Morneau and Mauer combined.

pretty sad

OPS against Twins' starting pitchers is .915. http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/team/_/stat/pitching/split/127/sort/opponentOPS/type/expanded/order/false That means opposing hitters are all Giancarlo Stanton versus Minnesota.

trevor plouffe has 9 hr / 125 ABs

trevor plouffe is a fuckin folk hero

plouffe was at least for now one of my finest fantasy pickups. advised a co-worker to get him in his league as well and for the past few days he's stormed in at least once and shouted "plouffe!" (pronouncing it like 'souffle', which is correct y/n?) i pronounce it "plo-oof."

They've not been SO terrible of late, at least Seattle is worse.

Looks like I have an exciting Brian Duensing-Jonathan Sanchez matchup to watch Friday night.

I watched from the top row of Target Field a 9th-inning comeback which let Mauer die at third w/ the tying run. Crowd showed no life earlier except when juvenile ran on field.

oh Luis Mendoza not Sanchez started and they made him look good

Phil Hughes has 181 strikeouts and 16 walks this season -- a ridiculous 11.3 K/BB ratio. It is the best such mark since 1884.
