Twins Video
1. International Falls – With an estimated population of 6,068, the town that calls itself the "Icebox Of The Nation" is in sharp decline. Back in 1990 the paper mill was going strong and International Falls was bursting at the seams with a population of 87 million plus. That was the apex of the population curve because since that time, we all stopped using paper and International Falls took the hit. Computers rule the new green society as we store our documents electronically, jot down notes on our phones and write reminders to ourselves on our foreheads. Steve Carell had to leave Dunder Mifflin as a result of the across-the-board downsizing in the industry and has been forced to eke out a living by acting.
2. Our Twins – As Polanco was batting in the 10th, I was overwhelmed with the feeling that Rosario was going to end the game. Didn’t care about the Polanco pop up… I was pretty sure Rosario had it. As I was driving home on Tuesday night, listening to the game on the radio, Vargas was hitting in the seventh inning… I had an overwhelming feeling that Vargas was going yard. I used to have these type of premonitions of Twins success last year and they never came true. I’m glad I’m getting better at it.
3. The Blue Jays – If the Blue Jays are going to make the playoffs they will have to climb over seven teams to do it. I know how they feel because I once attempted to move seven spaces up in line (to join my family) at a church fish fry. Which is roughly the same thing.
4. Today’s Joe M Conversation:
Maddon: This makes no sense at all… why do I have to go to jail?
Morgan: That’s the way it goes sometimes.
Maddon: I have followed the rules. I’ve always been honest. I’ve done nothing wrong. Jail!!! I’m in Jail!!! I’m not sure how I can face anybody now. How do I explain this to my wife… my kids… the Cubs organization, the city of Chicago? How do I explain this to others when I can’t explain it to myself?
Montana: I don’t know… this is what PR departments are for.
Maddon: Jail… like I’m a criminal or something.
Mauer: OK… that’s enough... it’s my turn… rolled a seven… Marvin Gardens… I’ll buy it.
Rock Concert – Back in the 80’s I went to a Molly Hatchet concert. The ticket taker and security guard were slightly distracted so I took off at full speed and ran right past them into the venue. It wasn’t unnoticed and this led to a lengthy chase around the arena. After 15 minutes of this, I was getting worn out so I decided to stop and show him my ticket.
