  1. I'd like to see the destinations kept warm, with as few repeats as possible.

    Las Vegas was fun, but I don't care if I ever go back to Vegas.

    Seattle was gross last time I was there - and that was in June.  Maybe the rain in the winter would at least keep the pot smoke down?

    Really looking forward to Nashville.

    I like the idea of AZ.  Dallas would even appeal more to me than a cold weather destination, tbh.

    Geeez, nobody's really talking about the game itself. Not like the old days.

    I was just thinking something similar, as I was wondering if the rodents are any good.  They have a ton of talent, as always, but that hasn't consistently translated into success for them.  What's this year look like?  Has Mots started to get them to care about playing as a team?

    looked like a last game to me...

    Yeah, it definitely had all the boxes checked.  Watching his press conference, the White Sox had committed to not swinging at that pitch while he was the catcher.  You likely don't do that in a close game if you think that he'll ever be on the field again.

    Thinking u get your wish, the frame probably stays - screen be same width, but not as tall?

    Gotta keep the frame so that the logo on the bottom can stay.  Wife and I were talking about that last night.  Just thinking back to all the great players who've skated under that scoreboard and looked up to see that.  All the college players, all the stars who were there for World Juniors.  The incredible number who went on to win Olympic medals.  Pretty cool stuff to reflect upon, on a rainy September night. :D

    So does Mauer hang it up at the end of the year?  

    I hope not.  And I also hope he stays in MN. 

    We all know his last contract was only good for an all-star catcher, and has been a target of MN "fans" since the very next injury, but he is still an effective player and he's the face of the organization.  Local boy who has only played for the local team.  Probably only one (or one of two or three) Twins players that other teams' fan bases can name.  My hope is that they can come to agreement on a reasonable contract, maybe a 3 year deal, and let him finish out his career in MN.

  6. Play action to Santiago, as the MLB will dive hard on the line given it looks like our standard first play, then a quick hit on a slant route into the open space off the motion (motion gets you inside the OLB).  I'd like to see it to Izzy, but would be happy with one of our possession guys as well - turn that big body and be your own shield.  May only go for 5 - 8 yards, but it would be a positive start!

    Ooops, I answered seriously.  Sorry!

  7. Wild walk-off win last night!  I'm going to see a couple games vs. KC this weekend, so I hope they've saved a little of that magic.  Half expecting a couple of 8-7 games in that series...

    Were you thinking the guy in the green hat would be kissing the cup?:lol:

    Who else would I have been talking about?  Don't you recognize him?  He's the under-secretary to the equipment manager's assistant's travel agent for the Chicago Blackhawks!

    :D

    Not a good picture, but the lettering is black.IMG_20180618_124111.png.7bb20b2aa1043b109c0245010b36fa56.png

    Fair enough.  I only had the one picture on this computer, and it looked like Mattson's lettering could have been green in that one. :shrug:  The mystery continues...
