Morris quote: "It's almost too hard to watch" Glad I wasn't imagining anything.

Great! Leave him down there for another entire year. When he hits .400 with 45 homers and 60 stolen bases send him up. He will be ready then.

No. You are off by one pedal. You need to move just a little farther to the left.

We need some Aggies humor tonight.

Just another Canadian question. Why a 6:07pm start time? I see 6:10, 7:10, 6:05, 7:05, etc. on a regular basis. Is it their national anthem that makes the start time seem irregular? Just curious.

Sorry to restart the topic but I kind of like Gordon Lightfoot. I think he's Canadian. "Sundown better take care If I've seen you been walking around my back stair" or something like that...

Ha! I agree. The one to really keep an eye for is when someone says, "to be honest..." So you're saying everything else you've told me before was BS?

Great intro! Loved the GPA comments. Reminded me of the time in High School when I raced home to get the grades that were mailed home that day out of the mailbox before my parents got home...Too late. Mail was already picked up. Walked into the kitchen and on the table were my grades with a personal handwritten note on them from my dad. It was a simple note. Direct and to the point...It read: "with grades like these you seriously should not rule out community college. Look at it this way, half the people you pass in the hall each day in school are doing better than you." (my class rank was 330/678). My kids found those not too long ago. They roared with laughter at Granddads note.

Thats funny!

I wonder what the attendance in Atlanta is tonight? Looks bleak.

Hogs are flying!

AJ the sieve.. Just kidding. He's a great guy.

Don't discount Cuba. It's a real up and comer.

Mauer. 10 big ones for the year! YEAH!

King Ebenezer was there too. Mean dude!

Syria works too...

Great intro Brian. Got me thinking about rare events and golf. About 30 years ago my dad was driving through Iowa on his way to a family reunion. He had some time to kill so he stopped when he saw a sign for an estate sale at an old farm house. The estate sale wasn't supposed to start for another hour but he walked in anyway. While browsing the house he overheard two old ladies talking about a golf ball. One of them said. "it looks like someone signed this golf ball". The other woman said, "who signed it"? The other woman said, "It looks like someone named Babe Ruth". The other lady replied, "wasn't he a baseball player"? The other woman said, "I think so"... So my dad walked over and said, "what are you ladies looking at". They said, "it's a golf ball signed by Babe Ruth. Wasn't he a baseball player"? My dad said, "I think so, how much do you want for it"? They said is $10 ok? He said "ok". The way my dad explained it to me, the worst thing that could happen was he would own a $10 golf ball. He gave it to me when he got home and I held onto it. Fast forward many years (through college, marriage, kids, job transfers, etc.) My wife and I were living in Philadelphia and I was cleaning out some closets. I found the golf ball and decided to find out more about it. Turns out one of the biggest Babe Ruth authenticators was about 20 minutes from my office. I decided to call him and explain what I had. He said to stop by so I did. He looked at it for about two minutes and said it was the real thing. Imagine that! The old man found a real Babe Ruth autographed golf ball. Unfortunately my dad had passed away a few years earlier. He would have gotten a good laugh about that one. Still have it today. It's worth a good amount of money but I keep it more for the memory of my dad more than anything. True story.

Chief - I got the game thread intro tomorrow night. Hopefully I won't be a one hit wonder too.

It could also be a picture of Ron Davis...Blowing the lead again. Get it?

Can you imagine how funny it would be if the Twins put up on the jumbo tron at Target Field a live feed of our posts on TD Game Thread....People would be laughing, drinking more, cheering louder, etc., etc.

LaBombo, can you put up a pic of Eddie Money please?

He needs to pack his bags and leave tonight.

Awesome post. Spewed my beer on lap top.

Eddie (i have no money) Rosario...

Relax Brian. The voodoo stuff doesn't count when your 3 runs down on a Friday night. Now if we we're down 5 runs or only 1 then I would say turn the tv off and climb into bed. Tonight (at this point) you're ok. Always ask before doing something crazy. Voodoo stuff is unpredictable and difficult to interpret.
