Does anyone else's feed look like trash (picture quality, not product on the field). I am on YouTubeTV and the cameras are VHS quality at best... The ticker and score are crisp and clear though.

Yes, I'm on YouTubeTV and experiencing the same.

I think it's fair to ask how your kid scored in evals to see what areas they can improve on. Having been on youth baseball association board in the past, we would get this question constantly. One Board member would send the individual score and what the max pts was for each skill being evaluated. A...

Playing Braemar tomorrow for first time since the re-do. I dont think I have played there in probably 10 years. Anybody tell me anything about the layout? Was hoping to play Loggers Trail, Willingers, or something similar ($60ish or less at a decent course) this weekend and nobody has any openings ...

Non-political political question. I just read an article about the sign language interpreter that is working Tim Walz's press conferences. The article mentions that she herself is deaf. How is it she can interpret what she is saying if she can't hear it herself? I get that some of it might be scrip...

So moving on...... Last night was surreal. You probably saw my house on TV last night from a helicopter. Some of you may know this already, but Midway is my 'hood.

Where do you go for refills or how do you find a good refill location? I’m in SW metro and haven’t had much luck with a 5 min google search.

Mexican food. Teresa's in Mendota Heights is awesome. Highway 62 and Dodd Road. Hope it survives....

Teresa's in Savage/Prior Lake is good too.

Pablo's (salsa is amazing) and Taco Loco in Shakopee are awesome too.

I enjoyed La Pineda (sp?) in Plymouth but cannot attest if it's held up in the past 6 years since I was there last. I have heard of it, will check it out. Pineda off of Shelard Parkway? Been there several times for lunch. Always busy (at least during lunch). Worth a visit if you've never been.

I came into work today, only to discover that I wasn't supposed to be here today. Back in February, I had put in vacation requests for 4 Fridays this summer for my son's baseball tournaments.

Anyone know of a good place in the west metro that will deliver mulch? Dundee Nursery doesn’t do it other than for initial jobs.

One problem is I can't seem to find a reliable thermometer. The one I was using was saying 180 when it was done so 195-200. I bet it was in an hour longer than needed. I'm assuming you mean meat thermometer. Have you tried testing in ice water to see how off from 32 degrees it is? I use the probes ...

You guys all have valid (and true) opinions. 1. There is nothing better for direct cooking than charcoal, although there isn’t a lot of meat I like cooking fast and direct. 2.

Anyone here have a Big Green Egg or similar product? Likes? Dislikes? What is your end result? Are you looking to grill or smoke or both? All of it.

I've lost patience with our 2014 Nissan Pathfinder (which we purchased brand new). The engine has always been great, but there has been one minor problem after another since it was only 2 years old.

5. Baseball? (Montreal Expos to the Washington Nationals)

I was thinking Baseball or NBA (Sonics). But I feel like there may have been another team that moved in the NBA as well, but don't follow it enough to recall.

Costco has the cheapest gas, all the time. But one negative in winter: no capability to clean your windows. How much cheaper is the gas than other gas stations?

This is great.

We got a ton in Eagan too. Went to go play golf this morning and the course didn't allow golf carts on the course until 11 so we had walked the front.

PS Vue has MLB Network, where as Hulu doesn't (at least it didn't when we were looking). It's one reason we went with PS Vue even though we don't have a Playstation.

Thanks for the input. Looks like Forager is the only choice.

I'm assuming those are compression pants. Supposedly they help with keeping muscles warm and improve blood flow.

Ridges is one of my favorite courses in the Southwest Metro. It sort plays like two different style courses with the upper holes more links style and the lower holes more north woods feel with Sand Creek winding through several holes.

Anyone try Mr Pigstuff in Shakopee? So far the one meal I've had there was pretty good

Yes, I've been there a few times. Their pig wings are pretty good.

$70 for Stonebrooke is over priced, although is you book online from their website, the cart is free.

Did you check out Ridges at Sand Creek in Jordan? That is a great course that is a great value as well.

One rule I would like to see in MLB. Whatever body armor your wear while batting must remain with you while you are on the bases.
