And for no related reason, I include this picture that popped up during my Google image search on "drunk paddy wagon"...

Oz,
You found a 'Tommie Girl' in the land of Oz. 8)

Wow. Looks nice. I shouldn't be surprised but I am. Nice.

EDIT: For those looking to pass some karma Raiderguy's way, a post of his can be found here.

DuffMan · July 30, 2009, 08:12:05 AM

Are the photos showing up for you guys? I am having issues, but I am thinking it might be this damn work computer.

It's the damn work computer. Working for me. And still nice.

EDIT: Doh! You just edited your post to show the same photo twice.

Glad to see that some of Los Gigantes' gifts to the Twins are still giving - Nathan picked up his 29th save last night. (Good thing - he's making over $11M this year

)

Nice pics, raiderguy. I'm gonna have to withhold my final opinion until I can see it in person at the Eau Claire game (or until I'm invited up to the President's box - ha!).

Oops, sorry. Should be fixed now.

There's been no comment here on the 'No' from Fa-Fa-Fav-rey here. What are the odds that he'll change his mind again? 10%? 20?

Odds that he'll change his mind again? That's a solid 100% - he's doing it now ...

Odds that he'll change his mind about playing with the Vikes? <1%

As I mentioned before ....the nice part about it is Brian won't have to sit on Mark's lap to do the broadcasts anymore!

With only 39,002 in attendance last night, we had room for at least 15,000 more in the dome, so yeah, you all should've come down to the game. Dollar Dog night, too, though they were probably out by the 3rd inning.
TC pulled a Liriano and was a late scratch, his spot filled admirably by an old roommate of LBean's and mine from our school days. Mr. President CAC convened the beer summit pre-game at Hubert's. Turns out the bartender was a HS classmate of Bean's who reminded him of their one date in HS in which he took her...to a TWINS game! Shoulda married her, since her family owns the bar. That was the extent of the womanizing as the babes tend to look right past you when one of your group is using a cane!
Another good game and, yes, Joe Nathan is the best thing to come from San Francisco since Joe DiMaggio and worth every penny. It is really hard to believe that the Pale-hose have been ahead of the Twins in the standings, as crappy of a team as they've appeared to be. At least GayJ got in late in the game to pinch hit, so Twins faithful were able to shower him with boos.
All in all, a great evening, a sweep and a good kick-off to the tailgate season.

Well done finsleft. -k to the President ~~for the no - show, but that's right up his alley~~.

I'm guessing he was watching the Erin Andrews peep show for the 1 millionth time.

Further proof there is a God:

Son of BDB and I have had to endure Fox Sports - Wiscy for years now. The only reliable Twins games we could see were on 29 on Sundays or when they were playing the Brewers..

This past week, our cable system added Fox Sports North!

God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy. 8)

Uh, as I read the report TC was the no-show (and heaven only knows what he did instead). Fortunately, the President will appreciate the -k.

Fixed. Thanks tmert. I'm sticking with my Erin Andrews prediction though.
