Probably. But for now I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.

Congratulations! We got kicked from "select seats" back to the waiting room 3 times. By the time we got a genuine opportunity, all that was left was singles, top row behind the stage and a few pairs that were more than we wanted to pay. And by the way, AXS and their glitchy site suck.

What a delicious idea!

Show pony vs. Workhorse.

At least he was in perfect position to blow the call.

Don't touch it! Don't even look at it.

Great points. Character is supposed to count and I'd like to see that argument pushed harder.

That "cut the cards" scene with Diane Lane.

The Great Santini.

Let him/her know I'm hiring.

Were crudites on the menu?

Now THAT'S one-stop shopping.

Yep. That's cool!

OK, I'll bite. I get that he gave himself a cringey nickname and that NBC has run his story into the ground several times over. But overall he strikes me as decent, hardworking and grounded. His reaction to today's crushing loss was first-class. I'm typically cynical as hell but I'm on his side.

We used to pick it up for $2.89 a case. The Twins let you bring beer into the park as long as it wasn't in the original bottle or can. So we'd fill gallon milk jugs with it. It was really yummy by the 6th inning on 90-degree days.

Ooh, I'll have to check that out. Might be a good lawn-mowing beer. In my HS days, it was what you settled for if you couldn't afford Schmidt, Schells, Hamms, Pfeifer, Blatz, Fox Deluxe, Walters, Point Special, Bub's, etc. etc. etc.

It really was a desperate plea for scorn. We were in Spain 3 weeks ago so I really should STFU.

Hauenstein.

If I say you suck, will you appreciate it in the spirit of the moment?

You're as good as it gets, Paul. A true credit to science and journalism. Thank you for everything you've given us.

I couldn't think of a way to bring it up without sounding like a scolding jackass, so I apologize for that. Tyson has done a decent job of rehabilitating his image, so it is sad to see.

He's been more than pretty disappointing in the past.

About as effective, so far.

It's not easy to learn, a helluva lot of work, but also damn fun.

I dunno. There's a resemblance to Artie Bucco.

Five ain't anywhere near enough.

This brings me sorrow.

Well deserved.

God, they were just so great! Did you ever see the infamous Cisco Kid episode?

Target Center in 1999 (and I think 92). Also played at the Guthrie in the mid 70s.
