Drags or skids.

as i remember the front must have had an upturned lip of some kind. a plain and simple thing that was dragged around a field to make kids miserable in the summer.

Did Ric Flair show up at the ball park?

Here's something to consider...In 1991 Chuck Knoblauch was rookie of the year. Arraez is a rookie this year. Both had similar seasons (although Chuck played more games). We won the World Series in 1991. I think the similarities are interesting.

 

My analysis: Twins win the World Series this year.

 

Just a hunch.

Twinsporto... you from Duluth?

If you yell "woo" at the ballpark, stop. Just stop.

What was the famous beer from Minnesota in the 60s/70s? I’m blanking

Grain Belt? 

 

Aggie, if we win the WS this year please send me some Yuengling. I'll PM you my address.  Thanks!

I’ve read this 5 times and have no idea what you’re talking about

aren't you the guy that's drinking? each beer lowers your iq by 20, doncha know.

[IndyTwinsFan]

There's a major distributor in Wilkes-Barre that has all those 60s/70s beers. Arrow Beer Distributing. Pallets of Schmidt, Stroh's, Shaffer, maybe some Schlitz, etc...

I can find Hamm's almost anywhere in Indianapolis, but not on tap.

My older brother liked Almond Roca, so my Mom figured it was his "thing," so every Christmas there was a tub of it under the tree.  This usually counted as his birthday present, as he was a Christmas baby.

 

Later, we had a fiery Basque guy drive truck for us during sugar beet harvest.  His name was Tony Rocca, so of course we called him Tony "Almond" Rocca.

 

My brother was also a Dallas Cowboys fan, so the transition from Tony Rocca to Tony Romo was relatively seamless.

 

Finally, my brother moved to South Carolina a few years ago, as a crop insurance guy.  I haven't looked, but I'm assuming that one of those Tropical Storms circling out there in the oceans has to be named Tropical Storm Sergio.

 

There.  Game thread conquered.  Before I hit post, I will now check to see what has happened in the game, while I was taking that stroll down memory lane...

 

...I'm back.  Apparently, Ryan LaMarre is playing for the Twins, and hitting .300.  He looks more like a Tony Rocca, to me.

Yup nicely done

Lol oh man I’ve seen the stroh’s and shaffer’s and couldn’t believe people still buy it. If you want cheap halfway decent local beer, buy Stegmaier (also known as the lion) beers. I’m getting tanked on their Oktoberfest right now. Have it on tap at my house right now

Not from Duluth but drank a lot of beer at UMD.

[Krabby5]

What’s with all the “woos!” In the crowd? Ric Flair bobble head night?

[MNT1996]

Ok the woo-ing is annoying

College buddies drank Lion's Head. Tastes like bananas. Never cared for it, personally.

[LVTwinsfan]

Do you think Polanco said FU to the umpire

It’s everywhere here. Every bar and every distributor. Bottle and draft. It’s good enough if you’re at a dive

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Everyone loves Ric Flair! Woooooo!

Bout damn time they got into it.

i don't think Hamm's comes on tap. i think it comes in a solid that they pour water on to rehydrate.

Go Bulldogs

Either that or JJ Reddick is pinch hitting for everyone

It’s definitely not good but it was $14 for a case last I checked

[IndianaTwin]

me too! Only manufacturing management which is basically applied stats for dummies... but not dairy farming!

Thing is, I greatly value the skills and work ethic I learned growing up there, but apparently I didn’t value it enough to give my own kids those opportunities.

[FlauerPauer]

Exactly. Up in Plattsburgh it was like 9.99 a 24 pack.

And Bremer didn't know which wrestler did that. Thank heaven Latroy was there to save the day.

Didn't know that.

I wish they just went back to doing the wave and dropped the woo.

Could be sounded more like WOOOOOOOOO to me
