1973 turned 18 …. legal in Iowa at the time! Drank Singapore Slings….. until I discovered adult drinking 

My favorites growing up were the Sioux City Sarsaparillas.  They were bottled in the dark bottles, so you looked cool like you were drinking an actual beer.

Brooks! Boom!

[wesnewy]

Brooks!

[Patzky]

Faste Gin

[Tlaker]

18 in the early to mid 70’s……fun times! Glad I survived! Draft went away just a year and a half before..  Viet Nam sucked and god bless those that went!!

[AceBee]

Good to see Brooks hitting in the top of the lineup.. He has really turned it on off late

Drank a couple in 1979 in some meat market bar in Sioux City.

I feel we should be able to work some walks tonight.

You would hope so with only a 50% strike rate from Ginn in the 1st.

I grew up only 100 miles east of Sioux City and only went there for CYO basketball games. Heelan beat us like drums.

Didn’t realize Sioux City was a destination city 😛

[Cory Engelhardt]

Look at Keaschall with the diving catch! 

I wonder if there are any articles about him doing that lately? :)

Hard to get excited for this club lately. Been following here on TD, Gleeman/Geek, Skor North but haven’t watched a game since the Field of Dreams. Hope they win!

Interesting note: they seem to be pushing the sale of the Twins Field of Dreams t-shirts. I think they must have a surplus due to the score. 

[S Bart]

Wow! looks like Audra got plugged into a socket. Also, Buck, I am 68 and have a hard time bending down and picking things up also.

Still not a destination city.  North Sioux City was when Gateway was there building computers.  The only thing you wait for in Sioux City when you're on I-29 is when you can get away from the smell of the meat processing plants.  Stopped at Hard Rock Casino there one night.  Didn't really like the smoking when you've been used to no smoking establishments for so long.  The Sioux City Sarsaparillas were just distributed in the area where I grew up.  They were a nice treat as we could only get them in a couple places in the area.

College in Vermillion.  Went to Sioux City almost every Thursday afternoon due to to the more reasonable liquor store age requirement.

I hope Audra's remarks aren't a foreshadowing of what is going to happen this weekend.  The comment from Buck about hopefully a couple of days of treatment and he will be good to go.  They need to get a more definitive plan than that.

[S Bart]

WALNUT CREEK, Larnach...that is a wealthy area of EAST BAY

[HarmonK03]

Finally Trevor!!

[Patzky]

And that is how you work your way back to relevance! 

[mnfireman]

Maybe a slump buster for Larnach....

[S Bart]

That is what you call an old time bullpen...

[Patzky]

KC masterpiece! 

[wesnewy]

Back to back! 

[Patzky]

Last time we did this you all know what happened.. 

[HarmonK03]

Why did we bring this kid up, he needs to do more to help us win.

[Patzky]

Not only two out runs but two strike runs!

They need to man up and tell Buxton he is done for this year.

I think we need to keep him behind our homer producers - clearly he takes their's as a challenge!

On a business trip to Singapore my host/guide to me to the bar at Raffles Hotel where supposedly the drink got started.  Overly sweet as I recall but I can say I experienced it.

[Western SD Fan]

I know they usually say solo shots don't hurt a pitcher.  But if you can string together 3 or 4, they may turn into real runs.
