Twins Video
1. Walnut Grove – This is the town of Ma and Pa, Half Pint and the one who went blind and was never loved enough to get a nickname. Farmers in this area are all tan and often work shirtless with suspenders holding their pants up. Walnut Grove is also the only area of Minnesota where the landscape looks exactly like California. You get a clear view of the Santa Susana Mountains off in the distance. As for the Walnuts… they are incredible but a completely different show on CBS.
2. Our Twins – There are 95 games left to play… Brunnhilde has not sung yet. I know many are waiting for the flatline because the original diagnosis was dire. If you listen close… you can still hear the beep beep beep of the monitor. Shh… quiet… listen to it… beep beep beep beep. The Twins are still alive… the beeps confirm that they are still alive. It started faintly and is getting stronger with each beep… It has almost the same sound of a... (Pause)… never mind… it’s a garbage truck backing up.
3. The White Sox – If the season ended today… the Cubs would not be in the playoffs. Same goes for the White Sox… and… and… the Bears… let’s not forget to count the Bears out early. If it wasn’t for the Blues Brothers and Italian beef and ChiTownTwinsFan… do we really need Chicago?
4. Today’s Joe M Conversation
Maddon: Some interesting stuff in here.
Mauer: Yeah it’s a pretty cool shop. I never thought I’d be interested in Antiques.
Montana: Hey, Joe… what’d ya think of this one?
McCarthy: We had that exact dining room table back when I was a young lad.
Mauer: You had this exact one?
McCarthy: Yep… see these notches in the side? I carved them myself, trying to
whittle the table into a pointy stick.
Maddon: What are the odds of that? Of all the antique shops… in all the world… that we could walk in to… here it is… your childhood table.
Mauer: I would think the odds of walking into any antique shop would be high enough by itself.
Montana: I didn’t know the McCarthy family was into antiques.
Maddon: They may not have been called antiques back then.
Mauer: What were they called?
Maddon: Tables.
McCarthy: I want this table back… the memories… this is my past. This table is priceless. I got to have this table. Help me get it out to the truck… everyone grab a side… let’s carry it out.
Mauer: Shouldn’t you pay for it first.
McCarthy: No need to pay… like I said… it’s priceless.
5. Vacuum - My wife said that we need a new vacuum… I asked her why and she said that the old vacuum sucks. I told her that we should wait until it doesn’t.
