Twins Video
The Mariners have navigated their way to Minnesota to start a 3-game series tonight at Target Field.
I didn’t see it… but I read that the Twins gave up a run on a wild pitch while intentionally walking Erick Aybar yesterday. Walking Erick Aybar is pretty strange but it’s really strange that intentionally walking Erick Aybar isn’t the strangest thing that happened at that moment.
I don’t know what to think after reading that… they may have to spend some money and get some new kids.
My thoughts are scattered.
Here are some things to think about:
1. College Money – I haven’t seen much of my youngest son since he moved into the dorm, but I came home from work yesterday and there he was walking out of our house. He needed some cash because he was going somewhere with his friends. My wife didn’t give him any because we gave him plenty of money last week, so… I opened my wallet and handed him a $20 and said, “Now Don’t Tell Mom I gave you that.” He takes the $20 and says… “It’ll take more than $20 to keep me quiet Dad.”
2. Dinner with who? – I was asked the question “If you could have dinner with anyone… living or dead… who would it be? I’m not stupid… I said… “The living one.”
3. Broom – I swept the garage floor with my wife this weekend. It didn’t work very well so I put her down and used a broom instead.
4. Reservations – I called an upscale restaurant to make reservations at 6:00 for a party of 4. The person on the phone said… “I’m sorry… we are booked up at 6:00 but we do have an opening at 5:40.” I said… "I’ll take it… and by the way… we will be 20 minutes late."
5. Good People – A co-worker slapped me on the back and said that I was “Good People.” It’s true… I am… I mean… we are.
