that's a crime.

 

 

Like Corona. 

FTFY

So is making a G&T without the lime.

That's okay, we're doing this rhyme on the company's dime.

I think that's just sublime!

I learn a lot reading these game threads. And sometimes it has to do with baseball.

 

To entertain while educating is one of the most successful methods of instruction. The best classroom teacher I ever knew summed it up for me this way; "Never let the little b@stards know they're being taught anything."

 

TD excels in that regard.

 

What do you learn in game threads? That we're all just a little, oh what's the right word... unique?

Unique is a brand of gun powder. 

 

Are you sure you want to claim we're all on the volatile side?

Speaking from the perspective of a moderator... yes.

RB, go to Jake's Pizza and get the Oven Combo. You won't be disappointed.

First time at training camp ... well then, the first time to ST can't be far behind.

 

And I thought you had a successful road trip with the drunk cousins a few years ago? No?

 

Ft. Myers is at the very top of my "still need to visit" list. I'd like to plan a trip toward the end of spring training when both Miami and Tampa Bay open the season at home so I can knock those two stadiums off my list. I also want to squeeze in some time visiting the Florida Keys. 

 

The drunk cousin trip was a success. 

 

The bad road trips that I plan usually involved my Kids saying... "Dad... Do we have to see the world's largest cow". My answer is always... "yes... you have to. It's only 25 miles out of the way".

Sorry to hijack this thread but I thought I'd mention something pertinent to tonight's game. Weather may be an issue. 40% chance of showers, temps in the mid-50's, north winds 10-15 mph with gusts to around 30.

[Riverbrian]

 

I wasn't being rebellious. It wasn't about rebelling. Despite what my parents wanted me to be, it was still my choice. And I made it.

 

I still think you are a rebel

trade ya.

That pizza looks delicious.

[Squirrel]

 

trade ya.

I'll take that trade ... I don't mind the temps ... then you can come here and deal with the LaLa crowds. Ugh.

But Salem Sue can be seen from I-94!  She's right there on top of a hill!

It's your loss for not joining us last spring.

[Riverbrian]

 

So, is this a trip to Mankato or the Sea of Japan?

 

Both if I have the time. 

 

[Squirrel]

 

 

What do you learn in game threads? That we're all just a little, oh what's the right word... unique?

That's one way to put it.

[Vanimal46]

 

That pizza looks delicious.

 

It is, diehard... During the very limited times I fly back home, going to Jake's Pizza is a must. 

[Riverbrian]

 

Yes. His editor had a difficult time leaving that grammatically ambiguous but knew it was what he was going for.

Mid-50's? In August? 

[diehardtwinsfan]

well, I live in Indiana, so that one is not an option for me.  Unfortunately, I don't have customers up in the Twin Cities area like I do in FL, so I don't have a convenient way of crossing that off my bucket list.

[Riverbrian]

 

And let me clarify further ... I'm not trying to be 'snobby' about being college educated ... it's not for everyone and it isn't the end all to be all ... everyone has to decide that for themselves. But I do believe, more often than not, it can, and does (not always), provide one with greater opportunity, ultimately. Even if one never graduates and even if one does something completely different than the degree pursued and/or earned.

 

College helped me a lot with my punctuation.

I'd be at LALA for sure.....I love live music.

[wsnydes]

Love live music...despise the crowds of LaLa.

[Riverbrian]

Everybody is unique and therefore not unique since everybody is. 

[Squirrel]

College doesn't teach you everything.

[Mike Sixel]

 

Love live music...despise the crowds of LaLa.

 

that can be an issue at music fests, agreed. Still worth it for the right one.

 

We are debating which night of this to go to:

I'd like to see Father John Misty, but I really want to see Beck. Big Lizzo fan, but we've seen her.

[Squirrel]

Just make sure you buy VIP passes.

 

If it rains, and it's likely, the grounds become all mud. And with the drunken crowds, it's not just mud. Wear you hip waders. Seriously.

[gocgo]

 

Like Corona without a lime. 

or a Twins team without a Jaime....darn it that was close.  Just gotta cut off the eeee.
