When scientists at CERN in Geneva announced that they’d found statistically-significant proof of the Higgs boson, the subatomic particle that serves as the final piece of the Standard Model in physics, I’ll bet you thought that I couldn’t use that as the basis of a post about the Twins. Well, you were wrong.

If you’ve still got time, there’s also my Twins-White Sox series preview, notable for a bad joke about junior high dances, and for a shot at Nick Blackburn.
