Unique way to give up a run. I'll give them a B for creativity.

Yeah.. The Temp might hit 71 tomorrow!!!

Ahh... That's well said

That'll do

He played guitar and sang in a classic country band well into his 80's. We are talking Hank Williams country. They'd play a gig in the middle of nowhere and the place would be packed with Grandpa's and Grandma's just dancing up a storm. There simply wasn't another band playing that material anywhere. They were one of a kind because of it... Talent level didn't matter at all... They just got up and did it and made a whole bunch folks happy. I'd just watch them and think to myself... That's my Uncle and I just loved it. He came out and watched my band once... He says to me... You guys are too loud. I think you're good though... but you guys are too loud. I got to sing Cotton Fields with them once... It was a highlight for me... I was thinking that my Mom would have loved to have seen her brother and son on stage together.

Thanks... The family was prepped for it and Harold wouldn't want anybody moaning about it. He'd want a beer on him. So I'm finishing this coffee and having a beer... That should screw my body up nicely before bed time.

Hey All... Do me a favor and raise your glass (of whatever you are drinking... it's a cup of coffee for me). Raise your glass for my Uncle Harold. Lost him today.

I was going to like this post but I didn't want any implication that I liked you breaking your wrist. So Until... I'm able to like specific sentences... I had to avoid the like button. You and JB have something in common know... That's a good thing... kinda

The Twins kick off a brand new series with the Indians tonight. Rolling with a two game winning streak... The Twins face a team that smells funny right now. If you've ever been to Cleveland... Smelling funny isn't surprising. It's Pelfrey vs. Kluber and that sounds like Lawyer vs Lawyer to me. Here are some Things to Think About: The Twins kick off a brand new series with the Indians tonight. Rolling with a two game winning streak... The Twins face a team that smells funny right now. If you've ever been to Cleveland... Smelling funny isn't surprising. It's Pelfrey vs. Kluber and that sounds like Lawyer vs Lawyer to me. Here are some Things to Think About: 1. The Indians -- Hey... Things ain't so rosy in Cleveland Ohio either. At least our Twins can say that we have a two game winning streak!!! The Indians are working on a puny little 1 game winning streak so the Twins can claim a doubling in that department. The Indians are 3-5 and the Twins are 3-6... Both teams were swept by the Tigers and both teams managed a win against the White Sox. The Difference is one extra game against the Pale Hose... After that... The Twins won two games against the Royals who participated in the World Series and the Indians won two games against the Astros... Who were extremely not in the World Series last year. So... Get out your scratch paper and do the math... The Twins are in better shape than the Indians are right now. The Twins also are better because they are not based in Cleveland. 2. The Cy Young Award -- Apparently they give these things out to just about anybody these days. Corey Kluber is on the mound to face us tonight and he won the Cy Young Award Last year. I'm not saying he didn't deserve it... He had a fantastic 2014... I guess I'm implying that... umm... I'm implying... Well... Who the Hell is Corey Kluber and where did he come from? That's what I'm implying!!! He was drafted by the Padres and traded to the Indians in a 3 team deal in 2010... He was called up to the Indians in September 2011 after he posted a 5.56 ERA in Columbus that year. He comes at you in standard formation with an arsenal that a lot of pitchers have... Low 90's fastball with a cutter... curve and change. If Kluber can win the Cy Young... Anybody can grow up to be President of the United States. 3. Losing your Mind Early -- It happens every time in the first two weeks of the season. People lose their mind because everybody is paying attention. People in Atlanta think this is the Braves year because they started well... People in Washington are planning for 2016 because the Nationals have started slow. It's a long season and 162 games has a way of balancing itself out. Bad or good stretches in June and July largely go unnoticed because of a lack of stamina. This early season panic is very similar to almost anything else in life. If your kid gets his driver's license... You are a nervous wreck for the first couple of weeks... A year later... your kid is still a pretty bad driver but you still give them the keys knowing that they trying to do Dukes of Hazzard type jumps with your car. If the Doctor tells you that you have to start eating branches and twigs... You freak out because you know that actual flavor is no longer part of your meals. 6 months later... It's not as big a deal anymore because you've stopped eating branches and twigs after you realize that Moose don't live that long anyway. Early season baseball is just like everything is life. 4. The Outfield D -- Ignore thought #3... I'm still worried about the Outfield D. Ignore #2 and #1 if you'd like as well. It's probably smart if you do. 5. Wild Fires -- We had a serious of Fires around the Grand Forks Area on Wednesday. Dry conditions and winds gusting around 50 MPH (Just little more than normal) made for a busy day for fire fighters. There were a couple of fires just outside of Grand Forks... A rather large one right next to the town of Manvel (go ahead and check your atlas for location) and several more all the way up to the Canadian border. They had to close down the Interstate for a stretch because of visibility and before they did... a rather large chain reaction accident sent some folks to the hospital. I was near Manvel ND and actually saw the big one with my own eyes... I could feel the heat of it in my car as I drove past. Officials believe the fires may have been started by a semi that was dragging something down the Interstate. Seriously... That's all it takes? A simple Spark? Bruce Springsteen says you can't start a fire without a spark so It must be true but I have a hard time believing it because whenever I try to start a fire... It takes me a full box of matches. I gave up my career as an arsonist because of that. I concluded it was too hard and I decided to try something else. View full article

That makes it official... But you also gotta use the Olsen Twins

Before a Thursday... When the Twins are scheduled to play on Thursday!!!

Behind??? They took all the cable out and replaced it with oil Pipeline.

I saw that one Do you remember that 3's company episode where Janet was listening through the door and misunderstood something.

Must be I just think Tim Tebow brings out the worst in everybody

Yeah... But someone has to make a joke out of it now... C'mon TD... Get er done

It's beautiful in it's ugliness

Should have gone with "Who is Keith Moon" Actually... Moon plays the Timpani for Wagner and Baker plays the Xylophone for Liszt

Aaron Hernandez Guilty. The Patriots are holding a Hernandez Jersey Exchange. Especially the ones with Blood on them

Yeah I had to go to the 60's with this crowd

ChiTown's Nephews are Keith Moon and Ginger Baker

in Chief's day... They had to make their own. They'd walk miles to retrieve little grains of sugar that were spilled by coffee drinkers at a diner 3 miles from home. They'd brush off the counter and walk through snow and rain and sunshine to bring back little bits of sugar and they did this every day until they had enough Sugar to make a pie. They'd bake the pie and set it on the window ledge to cool. And Yogi Bear would come by and steal it... much to Boo Boo and Ranger Bob's Chagrin. It's rough in the wild

I've erased game 7 from existence!!! Didn't happen... I'll never acknowledge it.

Milldaddy Milldaddy Milldaddy (Shakes Head) (as I watch Molitor turn to the bullpen)

I'm 1-1 Sample Size is 0-4
