Dashing off another quick batch of pictures from the Good Guys disappointing loss at The K.
As expected, Francisco Liriano’s return was a bit rocky.
Hot chocolate and baseball, two great tastes…well, during playoff baseball.
Hard to tell, but the sun did come out for moments today. One particularly fun moment was when the sun came out [...]
Some lighter fare. Phone pictures from 37 degree Saturday night at Kauffman Stadium.
Our starting seats:
Second seats with The Dad:
Particularly obnoxious crowd (both Twins and KC fans). Particularly obnoxiously run jersey promotion. 20k jerseys, 1.5k people in front of us at Gate D. Out of jerseys before we arrive at the gate. Yay.
Great stadium (under [...]
Last week I was talking to my dad about his experiences as a young Twins fan. He lived way down in Southwest Minnesota, as he still does today, so the four hour drive to Minneapolis was none too frequent. Anyway, his first Twins game, in the middle of July, 1962, was rather exciting:
CLE [...]
I went to my first ever Twins Fest this year. I and The Family and The In-Laws. It actually turned out to be a fairly good deal. With our tickets we received vouchers for free Upper Club seats. That’s a pretty good value!
Mostly we walked around, hunted out T.C. Bear, and [...]
I like this note from KFFL this morning:
The Minnesota Vikings and head coach Brad Childress appear to be engaging in a bit of gamesmanship with the New England Patriots. During the week Childress essentially tripled the number of players that appear on the team’s injury report. The media hasn’t had as much access to the [...]
For some real analysis of “The Leader” Derek Jeter, pick up your morning coffee at SBG.
Right now on the NFL leaderboard on the nfl.com homepage, the top five rushers for the day are:
Name (Yds) T. Barber NYG (123) F. Gore SF (123) T. Henry TEN (123) D. McAllister NO (123) C. Taylor MIN (123)
Frank Gore is the only player still playing, so the numbers [...]
I was talking with my bro-in-law at the game and just wondering “Why are we carrying Kubel?”
If Kubel can’t hit for Punto (or Bartlett or Tyner) at the end of the game, what exactly is his purpose? I’m not necessarily arguing that he should be hitting, what with his performance in the [...]
Got my Twins divisional series tickets. Last night there was nothing good available, but this morning section 216 opened up - row 27. Actually a non-cheap seat section was also open, but in my opinion the seats I got are better than the non-cheap seat offering that cost twice as much. Hopefully [...]
NFL week one reviewed by Bill Simmons. It’s all very funny, but this had me laughing out loud:
We had a second scenario when a coach didn’t throw a challenge flag in time — this time, with Bill Parcells, who accidentally forgot that he was keeping the flag in his cleavage after a disputed red [...]
