That joke isn't as complex as it seems.

They might but If I'm KC... I'd want a conclusion immediately with the lead. None of this playing more innings with nothing to gain and everything to lose.

C'mon Rosie... Settle down a little... Put bat on ball.

I'm glad we got some game left

If you keep running to the where you want the package delivered. It will get there faster.

I want two more teams. And I'd like one of the teams to be gifted to me by a crazy rich uncle that I don't know exists. Seriously though... I'd like two more teams and 4 4 team divisions in each league and 6 playoff teams in each league.

Only in Hockey are levels different and they are way different.

I loved the Sioux nickname and I was always respectful in my support and I also have no problem with the new nickname. In 75 Years nobody will care anymore. Might as well just get rid of the drama and change the name and move on. The nickname decision was never life or death for me but to some it sure seemed to be. Go Fighting Hawks!!! Life goes on

I believe the Nickel Trophy is in our possession and has been in our possession since 2003 when the two teams were still NCC conference members. I've heard it has been hidden by UND and I've heard that the state legislature was trying pass some sort of decree that it be housed in Bismarck. All I know for sure is that the two teams have only played once since 2003 that was in 2015 and that game was not designated a nickel trophy game by UND I believe. I have no idea what is happening inside the walls of the decision makers but from the outside it looks like both schools are playing some serious hardball with each other and it has prevented the teams from playing each other since they each moved up a level and into separate conferences. I can understand scheduling difficulties on occasion but for 15 YEARS!!! You can't schedule a yearly game that the entire state got jacked up for and the public claim is scheduling. It would be fairly simple... Hold the 1st Saturday in September and rotate home field every year. There is something going on between the two schools that probably includes some unprofessional language toward each other. It's a shame because all of the 500 plus residents of North Dakota are the ones to suffer.

Game opens are hard enough without the additional pressure of accuracy.

And here it is… September. It’s not just a song by Earth, Wind and Fire this year. This September we might remember. The Twins enter the month with a 1.5 game lead over the Angels for that final playoff spot and just a game behind the Yankees for that first wild card spot. Up in these parts… people start closing up the cabins and lake homes Labor Day weekend. NOT THIS YEAR… the Twins are extending summer for us all. “Ba-De-Ya - Never was a cloudy day”. Enjoy!!! Here are some things to think about: 1. Fargo – With an estimated population of 125,000, Fargo is the largest city in North Dakota. However, since I have been a 28 year resident of Grand Forks, with Fargo being a rival in most everything, I must do whatever I can to diminish that 'largest city' accomplishment. So… congratulations, Fargo, on being the largest city in North Dakota. I offer this congratulations with the same level of sincerity that I displayed while congratulating International Falls for being warmer than Warroad last January. The rivalry has developed from UND vs. NDSU. You’ll notice I put UND first… that was intentional and subliminal for those who don’t have a dog in the fight. Over the years, North Dakotans have gotten used to life’s disappointments and this familiarity is why so many of them moved to Fargo. 2. Our Twins – After the sweep of the White Sox, the Twins wrap up a fine month of August with a 17-10 record. I’m not going to question it. I’m not going to try to explain it, I’m not going to ask for an explanation, I’m just going to enjoy this. It’s the same attitude I have when I come home from work and there is a cheesecake on the counter that wasn’t there when I left. 3. The Royals – Remember at the end of July and the Royals had won something like 500 games in a row? The Royals got aggressive at the Trade Deadline picking up 4 players, or something like that, for the stretch run. Remember at the end of July, the Twins had fallen back in the pack, and had quickly traded off a couple of vets? It’s clear that neither franchise understands what is supposed to happen after these moves are made. 4. Today’s Joe M Conversation: Maddon: Take a look at these two… don’t they look great? McCarthy: Why on Earth are you dressed like a chicken? Maddon: He looks great. Mauer: And… you are dressed like a… is that an egg? Montana: Yep… I’m an egg McCarthy: What is going on? Maddon: I dressed them this way. Morgan: It was his suggestion… tt’s the only reason I’d dress like a Chicken. McCarthy: Again… I got to ask why they are dressed this way. Maddon: They are going to race so we can decide it once and for all. 5. Odd Jobs – My wife gave me a list of 8 odd-jobs to do. I did as she requested and completed jobs one, three, five and seven. My wife was disappointed with me but she needs to choose her words more carefully. ____________________ Lineups: ROYALS Whit Merrifield 2B Lorenzo Cain CF Melky Cabrera LF Eric Hosmer 1B Salvador Perez C Mike Moustakas 3B Jorge Bonifacio RF Brandon Moss DH Alcides Escobar SS Jason Hammels P TWINS Brian Dozier 2B Joe Mauer 1B Jorge Polanco SS Eddie Rosario LF Eduardo Escobar 3B Max Kepler RF Mitch Garver C Kennys Vargas DH Zack Granite CF Dillon Gee P Weather: 70 deg F, mostly cloudy, winds at 11mph from the SSE, with a 15% chance of rain.
