    It looks like they just kept it simple.http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_slcXiEJtWYQ/SmUCZVvgrVI/AAAAAAAAHfA/WEnPWv4sLMg/s400/elliepedi.jpg

    You have maybe been spending too much time with RB (not that that is necessarily a bad thing).

    Perkins has some neck issues: In other Twins injury news, All-Star closer Glen Perkins is day to day with neck soreness that started bothering him Thursday night. An MRI Saturday revealed no structural damage or pinched nerves.

    I remember back in May or maybe it was April -- it seems like a long, long, time ago in a ball field far, far, away -- being encouraged how the Twins came from behind and won a few games. Now it seems like we can't keep any lead. Kind of like Lucy pulling the football in the latter part of every game.

    Sometimes loving certain people can hurt.

    With her artificial leg she would have been the Oscar Pistorius of the time, but I don't think she ever tried to shoot Steve Austin through the bathroom door.

    I think I remember seeing this as an after school special staring Scott Baio and Lindsey Wagner as the school counselor who helped him work through the emotional aftermath from his experience.

    I am waiting for the commemorative bobble heads:http://static.neatorama.com/images/2012-03/alfred-neuman-bobble-head.jpg

    I think this means they can lose about 4 more games if I want my March prediction to work out. I will have to check their remaining schedule to see if this is likely. Hopefully they will have an easy last few weeks.

    Et tu Bruno?

    Butter Brickle has caused a lot of problems because the brickle pieces clog the needle when you try to shoot up. The hard core addicts use a larger needle and then end up with a dangerous amount in their system and hallucinate things like Revere home runs. The rumor is they found an empty container of the stuff in Jim Morrison's Paris apartment, but Bridgeman's had enough power at the time to suppress that fact in the news and police reports.

    I can't quote on internet explorer, but it works for me on google chrome.

    Just as long as they do not whitewash some of the uglier aspects of the league and the time. Hannibal, while known for being one of the best players or the era, was not even allowed to play in the Nero league.

    People always say the game used to be better back then - although some of that is looking back with rose colored glasses. I tend to think throwing any pitcher who did not make it into the sixth inning to the lions was a little harsh.

    It was actually a fairly decent three piece suit -- just with a color you could only wear to a prom. My first communion suit -- was a leisure suit (a checked leisure suit) my Mom made. Complete with a yellow polyester shirt with a pretty big collar.

    85 - it was the later pastel era influenced by pretty in pink and Miami Vice -- so at least there was not the ruffled shirt. Although now that I think about it -- the suit had been my brothers which he wore to prom in 1980, and my mom took in some of the 70's style flair from the pant legs. The girls all had a lot of lace bows and gloves as influenced by early Madonna. I suspect the pictures probably do not look timeless and look a little dated. We were not quite as put together or styled as much as the prom kids today, which is probably not a bad thing.

    Not my wedding, although sadly it is probably a better look than the powder blue suit I wore to prom.

    It is not an either or situation - you can look good in both a suit and a pair of zubaz: http://www.lememe.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/zubaz-tux.png

    LF is always a bit of a sore spot, because we have never really filled the void that the fleet of foot Delmon brought to that position with his graceful defensive athleticism (although on occasion the Hammer brought back memories of his outfield prowess).
  21. D. Hocking
    Listening to his second response really drove it home to me that - it has been four years, and while they should be better next year, it will still probably still be a bit of a rebuilding mediocrity (vs hit rock bottom dreck). I remembering thinking back in 2011, all teams hit a bad stretch and need to rebuild, but this down period won't be as long as the '90s. It is different now with more money and the new stadium, there will be more effort to avoid a 5 year tailspin. It looks like I might have been wrong. I general, I agree with a lot of what Obermann says and think he is intelligent and quick-witted, but I imagine he and his ego might be a little high maintenance. I don't think he would be the easiest boss or co-worker.

    So many options for you: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vysemMerJoI/UTgHn3eAlgI/AAAAAAAAJiA/rVpo-kxVw80/s1600/just+us+group.jpg

    True - it could be that she is using her jinx powers for good and is purposely watching and tanking the game for that football team that should not be named.

    It was early 90's it was down on Lake just up from Hennepin next to the Best Buy (which I think became a Cheapo). It looked like it had been an old garage and you ordered your food in a cafeteria line and got 99 cent margaritas out of what looked like a Mister Misty dispenser. While cheap, they were not weak, and luckily I would be able to walk home.

    I wonder if JB is a Packer fan and watching the game, it is not going that well for them.
