Ahh, the story lines!

/Channeling Joe Buck and / or that Tim McCarver shithead

Pedro pitching against his first team. Jim Thome playing against his former team. There’s just so much there, and the history between these two teams. This is must-see baseball at its finest.

I better see some mobile posting from Holsteins.

"I heard 55,000 people screaming so I felt like the ball got through," Punto said. "I wanted to dig a hole, crawl inside it and hide. It’s embarrassing. That can’t happen."

You might see that if mobile posting allowed it...

The calm, leadership eyes that now range into the hole

they make you love the House that Ruth built which Jeter demolished. And then rebuilt again with a slightly nicer trim.

They are currently

selling 50,000 seats from the old stadium @ $1500 a pair. That’s $37.5 million.

P.T. Barnum was a very smart man.

That money is going into the Mauer Piggy Bank.

They've only sold 3 pair. That's $4500.

under 20 world cup final

ghana beats brazil on penalty kicks after a scoreless first 120 minutes. probably one of the worst matches of soccer i have ever seen. neither team should have won. brutal.

They should use his play by play on every media feed. Duct tape the rest of them.

ha! 'nuf said.

Bowling was an informal idea…I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to go through with organizing a holiday gathering.

See....that would require a neutral, accommodating location....and aside from volunteering OM's parents' house, I am fresh out of ideas for such a place.

It would get a little out of control if everyone brought someone else too….I imagine we’ll have a slightly larger turnout than Holstein’s tonight.

But I dunno – I’m definitely open to ideas. And no, I will not end up at Dave & Busters.

I have a fun story about Dave & Busters

And I won’t go there either
