Heh ... my first job was signing envelopes in calligraphy for a wedding for $66. They said it was a small wedding ... it didn't feel small signing all those envelopes. If people are willing to dump $66 into signing envelopes for a small wedding, that must mean it's just a drop in the barrel in comparison to the other expenses. I think I'll stay clear of such business when it comes to personal matters. I guess my latest job has been volunteering hours of time for my sister's employer. Of course, this turned out to be a bad thing, for when I ended up applying when there was a job opening, she saw no need to hire me since she could get the work for free. Though to be completely honest, I was occasionally paid in the form of something like potted flowers paid for by one of her employees, flowers which I a) had no need for and b) couldn't keep because my mom has allergies. Haha ... I broke that stupid code.

Bring on the 15 yd penalty! "Okay Jose, go stand halfway between second and third" ...

Yeah, cuz waxing would be so much more convenient.

Wow ... I cannot believe I missed that in the intro. Westphal has a fastball which he routinely throws in the 95 mph and above range, plus an additional curveball, slider, and changeup.

Luke Westphal was promoted to the Chattanooga Lookouts on April 26th, and last night he made his AA debut, pitching an inning in relief and allowing 1 run on 2 hits while striking out 2. This year at Fort Myers he had a 1-0 record and 0.00 in 7.1 innings pitched with 4 walks and 10 strikeouts.

Guys, this is a game thread. Tone it down. Chief, you're a moderator. You know better. Mr. Brooks, it would probably be best to ignore him if he responds or else take it up in here.

Has the tarp sprung a leak?

Censoring the word "pissed"? Dad, did you hack Chief's account?

I'm not sure what this had to do with the rest of your post, but if you say so ...

Okay ... I got bored and started filling in a form for a band name generator. I was supposed to put in random words and names, etc. One of the words I used was "stoning." I didn't mention the Twins at all (are they worth mentioning?), but it turns out this website collected cookies. I'm supposed to call my band "Stoning Twins." Sounds like a right good idea at that.

Poor Hrb. The Twins have caused him so much stress lately. When he saw that last play he just sat their and cackled hysterically like a decapitated chicken.

FTFY

Easy ... Ian Kinsler walks, steals 2nd, J.D. Martinez doubles, 1-0 Tigers CBU.

It makes them sad to think that he was a Christian seeking happiness in material things. It's important to insure their innocent, pure children don't follow his example.

Lol ... no. "Always33's parents won't let her listen to Nirvana!" Heh ... It's okay ... I mean, part of me died inside when they took the music away, but they can't regulate that forever. I have ~someday~ to look forward to, and eventually someday will be now.

Sadly, I was banned from all secular music the other night. At least, I have to run everything past my mom first. Of course, every time I've been caught listening to music, I've been banned from that song/band, so it's a hopeless case. ("Freddie Mercury died of AIDS!" "Did you know Kurt Cobain committed suicide?" "Prince was addicted to sex!") Okay, okay. It was actually Prince's passing that led to the prohibition of non-classical music in this household. The completion of a scarf I was knitting which just happened to be purple coincided almost exactly with Prince's passing, so I knew I had to call it "Purple Rain." When my mom found out, all hell broke loose. http://images4-b.ravelrycache.com/uploads/ThirdGrace97/372121242/DSCF0075_3__medium2.jpg I personally think it's a fitting tribute to one of the most brilliant musicians and Minnesota icons ever. But apparently it's not appropriate. Fortunately, I still have classical music to fall back on ... my dad has played the card of it being secular music before, but it really is the religion of all music, and Bach is God. I really am banned from the "Champagne Aria" from Don Giovanni though ... that all transpired when I first heard it with Bryn Terfel when I was ten or eleven and fell in love; at the first opportunity, I shared it with my brothers, and over the next few weeks we listened to it non-stop until everyone else got sick of it. It occurs to me that that's probably an unusual fifth grader's favorite song. I think it was the diabolical laugh at the end that attracted me ... and it is extremely catchy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T4z6MI4hkU For those who value mime over sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_50t1WonhU

I'm just going to stick this in here. http://www.classicalmpr.org/blog/classical-notes/2016/04/27/how-should-minn-honor-prince-fund-music-education

You're not being set up. It's an attempt at causing discord among the honourable moderators of Twins Daily. How do you pronounce Z?

Alright Chief, let me ask you. What do you call the 26th letter of the alphabet?

Uh ... did this question have a right answer? You asked what I call a zebra. I answered truthfully.

A zebra? Duh.

Apparently Molitor has more faith in Berrios than you have in Molitor. Middle 1st, Twins 0, Indians 0. Berrios picks up first K.

<facepalm> Don't tell me I'm going to have to do what you're too afraid to do and write a letter to Marney explaining that she's corrupting her impressionable audience with mispronunciations of Jose's name.
