I don't have a lot of classical on my workout mix, but this is one that gets me really working ...

No classical love anyone? I could never live without a little Bach. It's a good way to start and end your day, no matter what one listens to in between ... and I do listen to quite a lot in between.

Well, that gives me a very good idea what kind of websites YOU go to; still leaves everyone else a mystery, however.

I'm seriously wondering why all you men are getting this ad and I, a woman, am not.

Makes me wonder what websites you were on for that to be the advertising to pop up on your screen. All my adverts are for shoes.

An audio subscription is only $20 for the whole season, spring training included. (Listening at work now.) For me being out of area it's better than nothing. And I can play that and mute the TV when the Twins are in town playing the White Sox so I don't have to listen to Hawk.

Amen to that.

About the same topic coming up over and over again ... with mostly the same comments and sentiments over and over again ... by the same posters over and over again ... is there something the moderators can do about this? I don't think that forum topics need a review process, nor do I like the idea of censorship or stifling pertinent conversation/discussion, but sometimes these topics are beyond beating a dead horse and only help to encourage/create some of the 'bad behavior' these 'rules' are trying to discourage. Just an observation. And maybe the rash of this lately is just getting antsy for the season to start.

None. When I was growing up girls 'weren't allowed' to play baseball.

Thank you.

Love! Can't wait to be heading back down! My 2nd home!

I'm not sitting in the dugout right next to any players, having to see and hear them spit.

Well, since I don't visit urinals, I wouldn't know about that. But did have the 'pleasure' once of sitting next to someone spitting into a cup, and not always managing well with that.

Frankly, I'd rather sit next to someone who is smoking a bad cigar than sit next to someone who is chewing and spitting. It's beyond disgusting.

Yeah, I really don't need ads targeted specifically for me. My shoe addiction is hard enough without getting hit by shoe ads from every place on the planet.

The Queen does not need your ratification. You are just lucky I let you eat cake once in a while.

Um, and sisters.

I don't miss mullet one iota. itstime, however ... that was beyond epic.

IMHO, this thread should've gotten locked from the start. The title alone only begs the response it got. It didn't take much to know how things were going to 'evolve' in here. I rarely comment on this site, but I read most everything, and maybe I should have just stayed away from this thread as I knew how it would be. But even in a bad thread, occasionally is something good to get from it. Not the case in here. This is more frustrating than the current shape of the Twins.

A lot of these places aren't exactly 'close' to the stadium, esp. anything downtown or in N Ft Myers. The things on McGreggor I'd say aren't close but also aren't far. Good list ... I've been to some of those places ... a little more info, though ... The Veranda is very nice. It's a dining experience. While no place is 'fancy dress' in Florida, I wouldn't show up there in shorts and a tshirt. And if you are going to head downtown for a meal, you might also want to try the Morgan House. Or, for breakfast, head to Bennett's Fresh Roast ... great coffee and even better donuts; they have other stuff, too, and have lunch items as well. (2011 Bayside Pkwy). The Veranda: The Veranda Restaurant - Ft. Myers Florida The Morgan House: The Morgan House Restaurant Fort Myers Florida Bennett's: http://www.bennettsfreshroast.com/ Over by the 'old' Sox stadium (City of Palms Park) is a restaurant called the Farmer's Market Restaurant. Great southern cooking (fried okra, chicken fried steak, biscuits, grits, etc) ... very reasonable and huge portions. You could eat a late breakfast there and not need to eat again until supper. Very not fancy, but very filling. Farmers Market - Welcome Closer to the Twins stadium, there are plenty of options at Bell Towers Mall both chain and non-chain; lots of variety and levels of experince ... Daniels and Cleveland. And the service road stretch across Daniels from there, too. Depending on where you are staying, the Gulf Coast Mall and Coconut Point Mall also have tons of options. Bell Tower: http://www.thebelltowershops.com/directory/restaurants One of my favorite places near the stadium is the Shrimp Shack. (13361 Metro Blvd ... just off Daniels). Love the hush puppies. It gets very crowded this time of year, so call ahead and put your name in before heading out. (And they don't serve just shrimp, but other seafood as well.) Is a very casual hang out. Welcome to Shrimp Shack! Bonefish Grill is a chain place I like ... 14261 S Tamiami Tr ... between Daniels and 6 Mile Cypress. CRaVe is also a very good breakfast spot; First Watch is also great for breakfast, and there are few locations in Ft Myers ... one in the same plaza as CRaVE. Another nearby is in the plaza on College Pkwy at Cleveland. If you like Prawnbroker, the University Grill (Cypress Lake and Summerlin) is owned/run by the same group and is a little closer to the stadium. Out on Sanibel they also have The Timbers and the Sanibel Grill, both good. Prawnbroker Restaurant Group All of these are easy to find and not off the beaten trail. (Well, Bennett's might be a bit, but worth it.) There are tons of places that open new every year. As the traffic goes this time of year, restaurants are equally busy. Some take reservations, most will at least put your name on the list if you call ahead to lessen your wait time once there. If you want to stop for ice cream, there's a DQ off the Walmart Plaza at Tamiami and 6 Mile Cypress/Gladious intersection. But try the soft serve at Sun Harvest instead ... best chocolate/key lime twist ever! (Basically 4 flavors ... choc, vanilla, orange and keylime, with twist options). Or the Love Boat at 16229 San Carlos. Handmade ice cream ... awesome flavors, all sizes and toppings, delish.

He was my favorite player growing up. His passing was 'more emotional' for me than Puckett's.

He didn't spend a lot of time in the majors

Okay, so, it's okay to not vote Republican because I am a liberal, but it's not okay to not vote Republican because I'm a woman? Frankly, I'm going to vote for someone who best serves my ideals, my interests, and my rights. That is not a Republican in this current climate. And abortion is far down the list as to why, but yes, is one factor of many. Let's not turn this into yet another abortion debate.

I had to laugh that his motivation to get healthy was his upcoming 21st birthday ... the last big one to celebrate? Yeah, ok.

Because the 'average' Twins fan isn't a knowledgeable baseball fan.
