    Wagner can be quite moving when performed by the right company as many kids from the 70's know This could also make for an interesting dance party the next time the Twins win. http://cbsnews2.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2015/07/25/cecdba49-d07b-4dde-83c3-2474755d7642/resize/620x465/a28ae1044422c8d323707ee638b7692d/bugs-bunny-whats-opera-doc.jpg

    The board must be younger than I thought.

    Hopefully we will hit rock bottom before and be on the rise before we are trounced by an opera ball team. http://www.schubincafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/1910-NYT-Opera-head-1.png

    Chief only uses the newest, freshest, most timely jokes, so if he cannot use them that night - they never see the light of day.

    Undefeated on days Mauer bats first! Of course no victory either but you can't have everything.
  6. D. Hocking
    I miss when the biggest complaint was why can't we get past the first round of the play-offs...
  7. D. Hocking
    I would not take Chief's threats too lightly,rumor has it he was very instrumental for the fiery end of Joan of Arc.

    I think it is pretty common knowledge that the dome dogs were boiled in water that was from the pure snow deep in the boundary waters and made from free range cows that were fed strictly on wild rice and wild blue berries with an occasional walleye snack (cows love fresh walleye).

    Joe Mauer does not like this interpretation of no big names being included.

    You will get a bobble head of one of the moderators in the next week or so.

    Shouldn't you be focusing on your broadcasting? http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--gUGINmpb--/17iu88vurox0sjpg.jpg

    I would like to think most pitchers fear us and do not sleep well the night before they have to face us.

    My first job, other than mowing lawns and shoveling, was biking out to the local resort after cross country practice and grinding rust off of house boat pontoons under a spot light (it was fall so it was getting dark before we finished for the day). It involved lying on the back and cleaning with acid than sand blasting the rust off while both the low concentrate acid and paint flecks fell on your face. I think minimum wage was about $3.33 an hour, so I was living well. My best friend and I did it because they were supposed to hire us full time the next summer, and then the owner ended up hiring some college friends of his son. I am feeling a bitterness I thought I had forgotten...

    I have been drinking before the start of the games and more during the game - that has been a quick easy fix that has helped me.

    While I suspect if Mauer's return to form is real, it is largely due to being another year removed from the concussion (helped by the things he has himself tried - the eye exercises etc. I think he sometimes gets unfairly painted for not doing enough to work through things. I think he puts in a lot more time than his louder critics give him credit), I think part of his rebound is due to him returning to what works for him - patient at the plate. I have heard a couple of people say how he felt pressure to hit for more power as a `1B, which led to him changing some of his approach - more aggressive swinging etc. While it is good to mix things up and continue to try and grow, I wonder if he had strayed a little too far from what worked for him. Whatever it is - hopefully this is a more real return to form and not some temporary hot streak.

    He is going to use 7 for his first bat of the game for the rest of the season and use TI for the rest of his bats.
  17. D. Hocking
    I hope try number two was a better match.

    Speaking of bears - I have not seen this guy for years. Did TC do something sinister to the Hamms bear to become the official bear of the Twins? TC kind of has that blank sociopath look behind and empty smile that masks someone capable of great evil to get what he wants. http://twinstrivia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Hamms-beer-ad.jpg

    If Sano keeps it up Mauer's intentional walk rate might drop.
  20. D. Hocking
    I thought it was the one with all of the animals two by two and a lot of rain.
  21. D. Hocking
    I don't think you need the "tonight" qualifier.
  22. D. Hocking
    Off topic, but I just watched the Ken Burns Jackie Robinson documentary. Ken does good work. Jackie's wife also came across like quite the lady and seems sharp not just for her age, but any age.

    It is probably for the best a certain poster had to leave for a tennis game.
  24. D. Hocking
    Sadly, I did not realize this was a "joke" at first and actually thought about fish with nutella and just the thought of that combo was not good for the stomach. Although if you put it on a stick it would probably sell at the fair.
  25. D. Hocking
    They are saving that one for when Murphy is brought in to pinch hit at a crucial point late in the game.
