We're Twins fans, so, forbearance is sort of built into our DNA.

Along with disappointment, heartbreak and masochism. There's also a downside.

Unless you're into that sort of thing, of course.  There's a fetish for everyone in MN sports.

For all you complainers, I live in Maine. Last night's game started at 10:10 and the last pitch was around 1:05AM (I think). It was pretty dificult getting out of bed this morning - although it was almost 10:00. Did I forget to mention that I'm retired? HeeHee.

 

don't forget the poor Brits (cough) who have to wait until 3:10am for the damn game to start    

[brettbrett88]

also if the twins win the next 3 games away will you really want to come back and play at home?

I've been...sort of...softly and lazily...campaigning for "So Long Sano" as a nickname due to his enormous shots.

If I could do it any other way... I'd leave those late game threads up longer. Unfortunately... I can't. I only have a small window in the morning to post the new open.

 

Once I'm at work... it's nose to the grindstone. So that means a choice of posting at 7AM or when I'm done from work around 6PM.

 

Yes I do get a lunch break but there are days when I have to cancel it for various reasons and I never know when that will happen in advance.

 

That leaves the only safe window to post the new thread in the morning. 

 

My apologies and my hope for forgiveness and understanding. 

Thanks for the explanation - it was far more than was due.  I guess I'll have to stay up a few minutes later to gripe about the chief's chicken. 

[gil4]

 

No, I don't think so. He was firm about his position on purpose.

I could do waffles too.  Just nothing that could be construed as health food. (No whole wheat flour or wheat germ in the waffles.)

If your fetish is winning championships, you're stuck with the Lynx.

How about "Biggie"? Kind of like "Miggie" when your allergies are really, really bad.

[Broker]

At least I can listen to the first couple of innings.

Winning and helping the Dodgers?

Talk about a win-lose proposition.

 

I have no problem helping the Dodgers, who are 11 games under .500.

I just want Dozier to homer in each game. At least once per game.

[Craig Arko]

Biggly Sano.

How about "The Sanoman"? You know, like snowman. Just going with the Minnesota motif. We run a video clip of one of Sano's long homeruns sailing out of sight and Bert's voice comes on says, "The Sanoman; he's going to freeze your balls!"

 

That ought to put the fear of God in Twins opponents. Might even get Bert another fine and suspension.

Let's modify that. Run the clip with the long homerun, but Bert says "The Sanoman; he's going to frost your balls!" Then the video switches to a closeup of a grinning Sano smearing frosting on a baseball.

 

Run that by the PR office. I've got to to go take my meds.

You don't say...

And said very well.

[DocBauer]

 

 

THIS!

[Don Walcott]

I like to be brief.

[Don Walcott]

Unless I'm writing a brief. Briefs are rarely brief.

[Riverbrian]

I like Captain Insano... It's very good

 

But... "The Sanoman" is absolutely perfect. I don't think it can be topped. The marketing department can work with that. Like the Giants did with the Panda. 

 

Sanoman Hat Giveaway. 

 

[70charger]

I'm still pushing for El Gato Grande.

 

I'm actually going to be at the game tonight, so I'll be pulling for El Gato Grande to hit one my way.

Get Metalica to record Enter the Sanoman

How about strawberries and whip cream on the waffles? Sounds a bit healthy to me, what with the fresh fruit and all.

My wife hates briefs. Especially the ones with attached exhibits.

You're not in marketing, are you?

[Blake]

 

You're not in marketing, are you?

I once did some work at a good size marketing firm in Minneapolis (don't remember the name) and, from what I remember, it's all too possible.

[wsnydes]

I like to be brief.

A man of few words, I like it.

[Jerr]

Ok, this will be a win for the Twins, that I will know about tomorrow morning...CHICKEN BREAKFAST....
