Twins/Tigers Players Vote to Postpone Tonight's Game
snotboogie replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Thanks. Fortunately, I didn't get the tear gas. But I did stand with my neighbor looking toward Lake St and wondering which building was burning. Having the National Guard in your neighborhood, not because they are there to help clean up from a natural disaster, but there to protect the fire department from violence is something I will never, ever forget. -
Twins/Tigers Players Vote to Postpone Tonight's Game
snotboogie replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I don't want to make this too long. I'm an old white guy. I live 7 blocks from where George Floyd was murdered and 3 blocks from the carnage on Lake St in May. I have suffered a loss because of the riots. I also enjoy baseball. A lot. Herb Carneal was the background noise of my summers growing up. I also roll my eyes at some celebrities who have spoken out about some cause. (Movie stars testifying before Congress? Really?) To me this is different. If the players haven't experienced racism personally, they know who has. Players, who if they are not black or brown, are living and playing ball with black and brown players from February to September (I only wish it was through October). They are comrades and going through the grind together. That the players, unanimously, decided not to play is a testament to their solidarity and love for one another. Sure, they are all going to get paid for the game, eventually. They won't be punished monetarily. I guess I don't care if they aren't paying a monetary price. They have a platform and they are making a statement. I care about that, and I care about the fact that as a team they thought this was important that these issues of race are brought up. I wholeheartedly agree with them. This is very, very important- 214 replies

Strat-O-Matic Baseball Breakdown
snotboogie commented on Danchat's blog entry in Danchat's Strat-O-Matic Blog
If anyone is still listening..... I had purchased the SOM Hall of Fame board game when I visited Cooperstown in 2015 with my daughter. I made up a few teams and played a few basic games, but then put it away. Since my Sunday afternoons this spring are not spent drinking beer in the back yard while cooking something on the grill listening to Cory and Danny (or toddling down to Target Field to drink beer and eat a hot dog while watching Our Favorite Team in person), I went ahead and purchased the SOM 2019 card set. I have been having a lot of fun playing....all by myself. Please understand, I am not a baseball geek, just a fan. The lineups I have put together for a few games have been, well, interesting. To someone who knows the game better than me there is probably another word for what I've constructed - laughable. Anyway. I'm looking for someone or some people to play the SOM board game virtually or socially distanced. (I have the digital version of SOM. Don't really care for it.) What I am really looking for is someone who knows the game well who would play and, rather than make it a big competition, make it a session about strategy. I want to understand the game, meaning baseball, more deeply.- 20 comments
