I got GE a signed Lafleur puck. His fav player from back in the day. Brian lived a few blocks away from me in my neighborhood growing up. He was a few years younger than me and his sister was a year older. Many neighborhood games and school bus rides with him. (yes.... you were referring to Guy.......

Koivu not re signed, fans demand his number be retired. Jfc wild fans want all their favorites to have numbers in the rafters because they liked a player For the Wild franchise I still haven't decide which move was dumber, retiring #1 for the 'fans' before they ever hit the ice or introducing Nordy.

I have a metal Goldy logo from the corner of the old scoreboard (about 2.5ftx2.5ft). I also have an original blueprint of Mariucci dated from 92 or 93. It's huge too, probably 4ftx3ft. I like to grab things that few or no other people would have. I could have grabbed the MINNESOTA metal board, too,...

Picture of myself standing behind the Gophers at Boston Garden after they won their first Frozen Four. My daughter had it blown up and framed. That same pic is now hanging on the wall at Mariucci. When we go to a game with other people it's a fun thing to point out. This one? One of my favorites! W...

No kidding. His second one would have been a can-of-corn at the Polo Grounds.

Don't stand too close to Bux, you may get singed. He's on fire!

I'm just curious as to what has changed since Kevin Warren first cancelled/delayed the season. He seemed pretty emphatic and said that his decision would not be revisited but here it is being revisited. I'm not against it but upon first glance it makes Warren look like a paper tiger. Complete shot ...

That was odd.....

Life truth: Jake Cave will always dive for a ball, regardless of the situation or his actual chances of making the catch.
And the one tonight he had an outside chance to actually catch.

I also loved the Seinfeld episode about The English Patient. I felt the same way that Elaine did about that movie.

Me too! I am not sure which long epic was more boring, The English Patient (which I never finished) or Out Of Africa (I fell asleep watching this in the theater).

SL also spawned a hilarious episode of Seinfeld.

I really like the R&R HOF station, very eclectic mix.

On an iPhone, when you select the photo, at the bottom it will tell you the file size. It will say "Actual Size" just select "Choose image Size" below that and select Large or Medium.

I did not notice this before, thanks! Like a Luddite I was changing the actual picture.....

Now I want a hamburger and fries!

I looked under Jup's "how do it section" in the Registration, features post but I can't find the answer to this.

She plays a role that rhymes with "tank."

When did Nate Schmidt get the A for Vegas?

Just watched Blinded By The Light. Really a well done and touching movie.

One could argue Izzy’s was overextended, too. They had a thriving store front on Marshall and methinks once they started to expand It became harder to make it work.

Blame businesses. There's a reason that gas stations used to advertise gas as $1.99(9) a gallon, etc. Looks better than $2.00 a gallon. Truth. Prices that end in "x.99" is a marketing thing. Meh. If the penny went away, they'd all quickly shift to $X.95. Edit: Or even more likely, they wouldn't cha...

Well there is a play you don't see everyday.
The Twins did their best to avoid a double play.
Meanwhile, Dick Bremer screaming about a triple play on a play they only got one out is one for the highlight reel.

That was gold.

Just your standard, everyday, 3-2-8 double play. I saw it on FB and there was some discussion if he tagged the runner going back to third with his glove only of if he moved the ball there before tagging. I could not tell and given the ump was in good position I have to assume he did. https://www.stl...

Oh, and have a happy birthday; cheers!

Yeah, it's incredibly interesting from a distance. Not sure I'd use the word "cool" though.

The St.Paul location seemed to be right on our way home far too many times

My kids went to St. Mark's, it was always on our way!

Izzy’s is closing their Minneapolis Ice Cream ship effective 8/31. They’re still going to sell on local grocery stores but I suspect it will be a small footprint.
I’m not seeing this reported anywhere

Kaufman Stadium is this year's Twins team house of horrors.

It was one of those 'did he say what I thought he said' moments. He did.

Milbury cannot shut up, ever, so he has never had an unspoken thought and more often than not he would have been better off staying mute.

CBJ gacked up a dreaded two goal 3rd period lead to the Bolts and kicked it away (literally!) in OT.
These were fun games and I really wanted it to go 6 or 7 games.

One of my work sites is being 100% emptied in order to be fully sanitized due to a confirmed Covid case for an employee. This will take 2-3 days and I have some clients that don't authorized WAH which means I've got at least 110 employees that will be shut down during that time. And as such there w...

If you don't want a batter to hit a grand slam off of you, don't groove one over the heart of the plate on a 3-0 count.

That's a bold strategy.....

Kenta Maeda just struck out his 8th consecutive batter. To set a new Twins record.

He has a special start going this evening.

This is a great view.

The Cruz homerun was great, but I’m fairly certain Sergio Romo caught the ball in the bullpen with his hat. I want to see a replay of that.

Someone caught it with their hat, wasn't sure who.
