Related, but different sport, we need to re-locate the Rally Bat.

Anyone have a clip of the squirrel? I heard it ran between Kepler’s legs. Things I miss out on without tv. :/

Awesome win though!

Hope this works? 1:20 in.....

Central Waters Black Gold tix on sale at 6pm this Sunday. Great beer, kind of an easy drive (4 hours one way), just SE of Stevens Point, WI. I got tix last year, it's a fun time. Actual release is Oct 21. They are much more organized than TG, it's a nice, but smaller, space.

I like the Current simply because of the variety. Will I hear a bunch of stuff I don't like? Yep. Will I hear the same band 15 times in a day? Nope. Will I find gems to download at a later date? Yep.

Finished the Madeliene McCann abduction series. What a mess that was on the procedural side.

Started up Mindhunter S2, just one ep tonight. This will be interesting in how it goes.

I don't know. I only started listening to The Current in the past year or so, because they actually have a variety of music, and moved on from the "college music" scene. I don't need to hear GNR 5x per day.

Well, if you don't like AC/DC, get the hell outta my country.

I love the new lyrics to their one song.

He's just too smug for my tastes.

His knowledge was immense. Oh no he liked the sound of his own voice. On radio? It was his dismissal of fans of "non-hip" music that really bugged me. "Here's this band that's uber cool because no one has heard about them, but I have followed them for years." That sorta thing. I'll put it another w...

I tried Popeye's once (Crystal) and every stereotype came true on that experience. One customer was ready to jump the counter to fight the employee, and it was early afternoon. The food itself was meh, at best. I was saddened, because I was looking forward to having Popeye's.

Brian Oake out at The Current, after a rant on Facebook, after he and his 20YO daughter got kicked out of a concert (she apparently drank an ice cube out of his alcohol drink, and instead of saying "My bad" he vented a little). Jill Riley was suspended (not sure if it's still going) for violating (...

Many have told me about Mabe's. I also wanted to hit up Pulpit Rock, but I guess everything "to-go" was sold out in the first hour due to the TG crowds, which isn't surprising. Even Forager had special tappings on Fri night, knowing people would be flowing through the city. They somehow still had Fr...

You are mixing up cable and internet. I just dropped comcast cable but kept internet and upgrade to gigabit. Which is nowhere near that speed but trying to get that fixed. Only reason I have Xfinity. Get the fastest home internet for streaming, and that's it. About half the cost of what I was payin...

Seems like everyone is upset with their cable/sat company. Grass is always greener situation? I love Xfinity and have never had a service issue that most complain about. But the price is steep. I am willing to pay for quality in this case. I basically cut the cord, have the utmost basic with Xfinit...

Every team goes through a slump. And every team goes through a surge. The MN/CLE arcs happened to cross at the exact best/worst time for both teams, and now we're seeing it go back to what it was (I hope).

I suppose I should report on my Toppling Goliath experience yesterday. Went down for their Mornin' Delight release (lotto/ticket event). It was obviously a madhouse. Lines were everywhere, not really organized well inside. One long line was actually 3 lines (to-go, reg drafts, special drafts that on...

That alone is almost enough to just give up on tv and go back to listening to games on the radio....

And then you would become my sister from another mother!

Had a little thunder/lightning last night. I don't mind night storms. If I'm already asleep, I'll sleep through them. If I haven't fallen asleep yet, storms definitely help me get to sleep. Even if severe, it's a soothing sound.....

I still love it, and have been retired from FFL for 3 years now. It is like ESPN NFL Primetime on steroids.

"I'm all in."
"Huh?"

There are some stories, not sure if true or not, he'll sit at home games at friends' places, and play their pre-flop folds. And wins. I don't doubt it.
Here is some wild poker,....

Let’s just completely automate the game. Lasers and sensors in baselines, foul poles, outfield walls, balls, gloves and bases so they can determine who/what got there first. Let’s just take the human element out the game entirely. That’s how we are doing everything else these days it seems. Sounds ...

ESPN, for a brief second, has Berrios with 6R, but only 2ER, then it reverts back to 2 runs only (because ESPN website sucks). Can anyone give the dirt? The ESPN app has rarely been wrong for me. Today it is glitche with the Twins game but I can’t recall any other issues. I don't have the app. I wa...

3) That the town of Hurley Wisconsin be named after him.

Pro note, don't touch the sidewalks in Hurley. Gonna catch the Hep. Just going by info I heard, from friends and co-workers' family members who own bars there.

There are umpires who make bad calls, and then there are umpires like West and Hernandez.

Redzone is TV crack.

Matusow is the voice of reason when he's on his meds (being serious) and Negreanu never met a hand he didn't like.

That being said, glad it happened to Hellmuth. Off the table, I've heard he's a great guy, on the table? Biggest Ahole on earth.

Yeah, baby!

Pretty sure they went with "UW" because no player can spell "Wisconsin."

To be fair, the decision to send/not send is a close one and could work out (or fail) either way. On paper, I like a runner on third with one out if the throw is even close.

This.

Seeing (and calling in) a presumably drunk driver tonight. I really hope the cops get to the driver in time, before they hurt someone. I followed as much as I could, and I was made by the driver, so had to stop following them. Got the plates and everything to 911. Note: I didn't go hands-free, and ...

GLOW S3, Ep 5: I was in tears laughing so hard.
S3, Ep 6: Whoa, got a bit dark, but made for solid tv.
I think this show SHOULD be done after this season, it doesn't know what to make of itself right now, but it's good watching. I hope it ends before it gets stale.

That’s because flip phones don’t have hands free capability. 😝😝😝 Just remembered this: your vid of that driver you posted a while back on FB? 3x as bad. And that might be generous. Camera mount... Zero holding. Nice try. You misunderstood....the driver was driving 3x as bad as the driver in your vi...

Just got a callback from the cops. They did arrest the driver for DUI, and will call back again to get a recorded statement from me.

Cam Ranh Bay (Hopkins, Vietnamese) Heard good things, ordered the basic garlic beef/broccoli. First time anywhere, I order a basic dish, to see if they screw it up or not, and if it's good, I explore from there. This was quite tasty, the garlic not overdone (which I have found elsewhere), the place ...

It borders on the Ay-dree-attic.

An 11 game lead over Cleveland has been erased. They clearly needed pitching help at the trade deadline and the 2 moves they made haven’t made much (if any) of a positive difference. In a year they have a punchers chance to do some damage in the playoffs, ownership & mgmt cheaped out AGAIN. Accordi...

They still have the 4th best record in all of baseball (now tied for 4th with Cleveland). My god people. It's not like they are barely hovering above .500 If you said their record right now, and position, in spring, people would be pitching tents (so to speak) right now. But the path we took......t...

Why the F not?

This is really, cool, though:

Trade everyone. We're done.

FIRST.

Caught a couple eps of the new season of GLOW (released today on Netflix): It's still solid. Not great/must see, but IMO very good. The Maron/Brie chemistry still drives the show, and it's a really good chemistry.

Stranger Than Fiction is Will Farrell's best work. It is way out of character for him, give it a whirl.

The FIRST Anchorman was awesome. The second? ANYone who made it past 15 minutes has a cast iron stomach, since they didn't vomit by then.

The Decendants: As his wife is dying, a distant father/husband tries to make amends with her and their two daughters, while trying to decide whether to sell off some critical/valuable real estate in Hawaii. It was good. Ran the gamut of emotions, didn't really shy away from the raw parts. Clooney is...

Black Butte XXXI is now out.

So is Clown Shoes Minnesota Mean (NE IPA).

The latter is worth a 4pk to by. Nothing special, but good.

It also depends on if it's the European or African Billboard....

Could be, as a registered artist.

#1: Meatloaf?

While it was a no brainer, I think the social media over hyped it a little. It wasn't a ZOMG. It was gone for sure, but not jaw dropping.

But, I thought Sano sucked?

Dear White People S3.

Took a bit to get into the groove this season, but remains a decent show. Got about halfway through it, there are some really raw moments, tackling some social stuff with no apologies. I would still recommend it.

To follow up, NSFW:

Typewriter started off with a blast, ended with a pop, at best. Not horrible, but not great ending. Meh.

Up North, they give you a sixer just for walking in the store.

I had a part time job at Total Wine and they were REALLY strict on ID's. 1. If you're ID showed you were 21 or 22, cashier still had to get a manager to look at it. 2. Management had to review any out of state ID (except IA, WI, ND, SD) 3. Management had to review any passport used as ID. 4. If som...

How bad is the delay with some of the streaming services that carry sports? I have YouTube TV and the delay for live sports seems to be about a minute. Maybe 90 seconds.

Very nice, man. This also reflects your parenting, I might add.

Zach Greinke is not, IMHO, a clutch play off pitcher.
He also is too fragile of a personality
He also had, it is rumored, a NTC & the Twins wereonw of the teams as a no no.

He also listed the NYY as a NTC, per KFAN.

I think if you get to one right as they open you’re going to be in good shape. There may be a short wait but I’d guess you’ll be in there an hour max I know the govt building in downtown Minneapolis used to open at 7:00. When I worked downtown it was great because I’d get there at 7:10 and still be...

I'm tempted to cut the cord. Comcast is so freaking expensive for what I get (or want) it's ridiculous). Certainly paying the convenience of it all at this point. Just for Gophers hockey season, I save $400/season cutting Comcast and then if I wish (which I don't do) go to Old Chicago for a burger ...

I never got the love for Pig Ate My Pizza. It is overpriced and overpresented and hardly satisfying.
