A couple good things about apartments: If something breaks, you don't have to fix it! Just call your handy dandy maintenance professional. No yard work after a long day at work.
Checklist for a great game thread: - scottz asking if the Twins won yet - Blake and Vanimal go down a weird path - Chief jokes - Chief saying something that prompts Chi to respond "Ick" or "Ish" - Bark's rally rum - North says something Canadian - One "yes" reply to a question(s)
Brock is waiting for Brian at the Twins Daily WORLD HEADQUARTERS to celebrate such a notable achievement! He will have a cake, then ask for Brian to cover his uber ride to a bar and watch the game. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.mandatory.com/media/2013/10/grownup-birthday.jpg
Past history shouldn't matter to them... Hell, most everyone in the lineup were teenagers the last time the Twins played New York in a postseason series. New era, no bad vibes!
In honor of Tom Petty, let's "Breakdown" this game... The Twins are "Runnin' Down a Dream" as they try to get the monkey off their back against the Evil Empire. Ervin's already said "I Won't Back Down" to people like Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez. So hopefully he won't "Surrender" more than a couple of runs tonight. A lot of national experts may say "You Don't Know How It Feels" to be in a playoff game in regards to the Twins. But you know what? "Even the Losers" make it to the playoffs every now and again. And they "Learn to Fly" with the best of the best. So "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" and get this game underway!
You'll also appreciate this as an IT guy... Ours was refurbishing a laptop for a new hire on Monday, and the laptop needed to be plugged in as the battery was shot. This is an accurate representation of him when the power was cut off from her 2 space heaters. http://25.media.tumblr.com/002aa8496cab0525e28328b92d024cad/tumblr_mfd4ay9Axv1rm62hfo2_1280.jpg
Now I have a legitimate excuse not to work! A co-worker next to me decided one space heater wasn't enough and plugged in 2 space heaters, resulting in blown surge... Phones and internet is down.
I had a clause put into my offer letter that if my favorite team clinched a playoff spot before the end of the regular season, I can mail it in at work.
