He is in the top 10 for most time spent on the board. As am I, of course.

I got a feeling I'll be falling off that list pretty quick once rotations start and I can't sit with this site pulled up on my computer during lecture anymore

Also being stuck in Iowa, I listen to most of the games with this page up. I also spend way too much time on here especially during football season


I used to be like #8 in posts now I've dropped to 13. At this rate especially if the free internet here keeps being shaky, I may be out of the top 20 by season's start!

Coach fins,

BDB has to lead his baseball squad tomorrow night in like 98 degree heat.

Any suggestions? 

My best advice is to beat the other team to the field and get the dugout with the shade. Breeze never blows through a dugout, and when you get the one facing west on a hot evening it's brutal.

Skip BP? Absolutely! In fact, I skip it when it's 72 degrees. Still too hot for BP!    I just sit back and laugh when the other coaches come out like Les Steckel and act like they're getting ready for game one of the World Series. I think last game I made my batting order up in the dugout in the order in which the kids showed up. Worst hitter got there 1st? Good to see you, you're leading off tonight.

I got to talk to Mike Max of WCCO radio last night at the Chaska baseball park. He was invited to play for the Chaska Cubs. The Cubs were playing Maxie's home town of Gaylord. That had to be special for him. Mike seemed very interested in the Stiftungsfestivities event of September 9 when we will be honoring the media celebs. He also said we should invite Sid.

As luck would have it, I heard a knock on my front door last night around 8:00 p.m. I went to the door and found two Mormon elders wanting to visit. Of course I invited them in. One was from Arizona, the other from Utah. The two year mission they put in has to be challenging. I told them I was a good Catholic boy and filled them in on St. John's and the College of St. Benedict along with Johnnie football. They probably weren't expecting that.

Hope to have many on this board present this coming Friday evening for MIAC night when the Chaska Cubs host the Rochester Royals. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Wear something with your college emblem on it and you will get into the game free. Stiftungsfest burgers will be served.

Good job JR. I know Sid knows Gags, but he doesn't often leave the Seven County Metropolitan Mosquito Control District. How about Wally the Beerman? He's a lot of fun.
A few pages ago you asked for help with things. Just let me know what I can do.

Sounds like fun on Friday, but I'm sorry I won't be able to make it to Chaska.

When I try the link Pat posted, I get the message "You aren't allowed to view the forum statistics."  Is there some sort of secret handshake?

[kubiack78]

kubiak78, you're a Warhawk?

Forget what I said everybody, take him to TDT land! 

Just kidding.

Seriously though, you get a shot back in the states and you go to Texas? 

Wouldn't you like to see something green at some point? 

I get about 4 days at home in Sioux Falls then I have to report to Fort Bliss TX. on the 6th of Aug. for the new company for 5 days of inprocessing so it's not by choice.

[Whoa Nelly]

New contest!![/size][/color]


Come up with the best caption for what Nick Punto is thinking in this photo:

"Tyner on Deck, Punto in the hole"

I was at the game and felt honored to see White's HR.  Mauerzee grounding into 2 double plays, which is always nice.

I turned to my brother-in-law and jokingly said that Mauer should be sent down to Rochester after the 2nd groundout - my wife replies "Yeah, or our house."  She really does love me...I think.

Did you see the bit in the Trib a while back about the 400 Bar in Mpls. having Rondell White Beer Night? A bottle of beer for the price of RW's batting average. Now that's cheap!!
After he hit his tater, I told my son, "the price of beer just went up."

[tmerton]

Sorry, tmert I smited you instead of the intended aplaud.

Clumsy BDB. I will correct such action tomorrow.

Hey, not to worry, BDB.  I've got some other friends out there with that same problem.

I didn't see the article but that is a nice little promotion.  $1.90 still isn't that bad

And with the only and best submission, I hereby award WhoaNelly with the +k earned in this contest.


How about a Rondell White Blue Moon promo? Come to the bar once in a blue moon on the night Rondell goes deep and you get a free Blue Moon?

That is a great idea...

The Twins could have Rondell White bat day - first 10,000 fans get a wet spaghetti noodle.

I think WN's win is well deserved.   8)

BTW, KR, did you drop any money at the world's largest college souvenir shop (aka bookstore)?

So, I shouldn't be telling my Little Leaguer's to get down and give me twenty when they show up? 

Great advice on the dugout. The diamond we are on tonight does have one facing due west, so I'll get the other one and watch our opposition bake in the sun.  8)

Nah, wet spaghetti noodles are occassionally used for their intended purpose


I was thinking Rondell White Experience give-a-way:
1 Lucky fan is chosen to receive $15,432 (White's salary per game), this fan will then have to do 10 complete spins of forehead on the bat then try to hit a ball off a tee.

This will allow fans to see how difficult it really is for Rondell to make contact.
The fan will repeat this 3 times with 45 min in between to sit on the bench with a chew in contemplating how the Twins could believe Rondell is worth paying more than Liriano, Mauer, Morneau, Rincon, and Lew Ford combined.
After this game, the fan will be flown to Rochester to do the same for 2 weeks.

BTW, KR, did you drop any money at the world's largest college souvenir shop (aka bookstore)?

No, due to traffic issues around Chicago, we didn't have a whole lot of time, so we gave ourselves an abbreviated tour. Still a beautiful campus. This gives me an excuse to get back though
