  1. Well, the people at BIG National Holidays wants us to get fat today.... Because it's National Double Cheeseburger Day! What's your go-to place for a good burger? Today is also National Linguine Day! Linguine dates back over 400 years, and is one of the world's oldest kinds of pasta. Rightfully so - It's delicious! Finally, on this day in 1978, 36 year old Muhammad Ali boxes and wins against Leon Spinks to earn his 3rd heavyweight boxing title. He's the first, and probably only boxer, to ever do so!
  2. Whoever has survived at this point in the season deserves 110% effort for game thread intros! There's a couple of ideas in the works as we speak... A clue: Your wish is granted.....
  3. So here I am, innocently flipping through the channels, and I see it... You're not fooling me, North. Isn't it convenient North chose today of all days to write a game thread?? Maybe he saw into the future, and knew the Twins would have a lead at one point in the game.... OR, maybe he needed anything to distract him from the World Cup of Hockey! Feelimg nervous about the Russians yet?
  4. Hopefully that doesn't happen this Saturday. It's the season finale for me writing game threads!
  5. It has to be better than Pretty Little Liars.... A favo(u)rite of Miss Vanimal.
  6. Yep. I love rehashing old scouting reports on players who are no longer in the organization. Only thing that could make it better is to get into a heated argument about Zack Jones.
  7. This organization not moving fast enough to interview quality candidates when they've known for 3 months that TR was being let go makes my head explode.
  8. Davanni's is great, but unfortunately just a TC chain. Couldn't tell you how many times I went for a slice at their Edina location over the lunch hour when I worked up there.
  9. I like their thin crust at Papa Murphy's... Their original crust is too much dough for sure. Now the new thing seems to be build your own pizza places, where they can cook your pie in 5 minutes or less. They're popping up all over the place down here in Austin.
  10. Too few ovens is correct. AND it's incredibly difficult to maintain proper oven temperature throughout the day. The oven cools as they're slinging pizzas through it during rush hour. If you enjoy a well done pizza, order one before the lunch rush.. ideally when the store opens is when you're going to get the best results. Side note, I'm a fan of Papa Murphy's for the reasons you stated. For a $7-10 pizza, I'm choosing Papa Murphys over the Pizza Huts, Domino's, and Papa Johns of the world.
  11. No. Didn't realize that was a thing!
  12. Nobody talks about The Americans on FX. Late to the party on this one but like usual, FX hit a home run on this.
  13. Another one I've heard good things about. May have to jump on since they're only 3-4 episodes into it.
  14. That's another one I'm on pins and needles for too. They left us hanging at the end of season 2.
  15. That's an understatement.. Wayyyy too many for anyone to keep up with, and on so many platforms. Basic cable, premium cable, Netflix, Amazon, Crackle... Meanwhile, the movie industry is going down hill fast. Very few entice me to check it out in a theater.
  16. Paul Swydan in the Fangraphs after dark chat: 9:25 Roger: Is Brian Dozier in the top 50 in trade value now? Seems like the Twins have a great opportunity to sell high on a quality player under control for 2 years for a total of 15 million. 9:26 Paul Swydan: Maybe toward the bottom. He’s also 30 next year, and this is pretty clearly going to be his best season ever.
  17. I'd love to start this morning off with a creme-filled donut. Since it's National Creme-Filled Donut Day! Bavarian creme please! Today is also National Eat a Hoagie Day! You don't have to tell me twice to eat a sandwich on delicious bread! Did you know there's a rivalry between 2 families on who was the first to create the hoagie? The DiCostanzas and DePalmas are essentially the Hatfield's and McCoy's of hoagies. NO ONE has the proof that they're the first. Finally, on this day in 1716, the first light house in what we now call the United States was constructed! Happy 300th birthday, Boston Light! Has anyone seen it in person? http://lighthousegetaway.com/lights/MA/boston08.jpg
  18. Heal up Trevor. The Twins desperately need you to be healthy next season.
  19. ESPN refusing to give hockey the time of day? You don't say.... Too busy breaking down what Tom Brady has been doing with his free time.
  20. You didn't miss out on anything there. One of the rare HBO failures in recent memory.
  21. I would hope so! Vinyl went down hill real quick. The Get Down looked like another version of it, so I've ignored it so far.
  22. Better than Vinyl on HBO?
  23. They are better than the auto-play ads before, and not messing with the user experience on the site so far. I'll pay attention more to the ads, but I'm seeing ads for Sling TV and SquareSpace right now.
  24. Water covers 2/3 of the Earth. In regards to tonight's lineup, Buxton's going to have to cover the rest of it.
  25. I'm not Seth, but the cliche "Everything in this world is negotiable" rings true with this team.
