My glass half full comment of the day:   At least Luke Hughes has not come back to haunt us with another team.

I can't wait for dinner tonight- braised pancreas with sauteed mushrooms.  Mmmmm, that's good pancreas!

Phew. I thought Arcia might get wrapped up like a douche after that grab

Are roo bars a real thing? Can we get some rally roo bars in honor of Liam?

 

I hope Mr. Hendriks pitches well. Though i think i also hope we hit him better...

An actual thing... I dated a girl from Australia and I remember her saying that American cars looked funny because they didn't have Roo Bars.

Mauer could have thrown him out from left field and preserved the tie

 

Did you watch the one game Mauer played in right?

Bruce Springsteen from the album Greetings From Asbury Park. I believe it was 1973. And I didn't look it up... Thank You

And And.... Manfred Mann's Earth Band covered two other songs from that same Springsteen album and had at least minor hits with them... What were the other two songs?

The Boss.

Common misconception.  Actually it was Bruce.

 

My cousin Bruce.  We were fishing with my other cousin, Larry (no really), from a gravel road in central Minnesota.  Larry 'caught' Bruce in the neck with a Daredevil, and my grandma drove us at just under the speed of sound in her Pontiac (police interceptor version) Tempest to the closest retired country doctor's lake home.

 

Bruce semi-fainted and bonked his head a bit, and we agrees on the way that the light that he saw was significant and should be commemorated, even if everything else he saw seemed like pure rubbish at the time.  My panicky Etch-a-sketch recording of his vision is the song classic you know today.

 

Oh, and Bruce survived the Daredevil strike.  He owns a bowling alley and is a great dad.
