Cannot even express how annoyed I’m that I opted in for tickets and now have a conflict because why the hell would we have MLS games on Monday night. I “might” be able make it to the stadium for halftime.

This might seem selfish but if I ever get my hands on a time machine the first thing I'm going to do is broker a fair temporal trade between the 2020s Cleveland Guardians pitching and 1990s Cleveland Indians hitting.

My god. The sports writing is so beautiful, I want to throw my book in the trash.

Now when I go home, I can pick up an SRO seat for 15 bucks with fees and get a $5 discount on a beer.

The Jacobs Field sellout streak went from June 12, 1995, to April 4, 2001. I graduated from college in spring of '96 and moved to Minnesota in 2008. I had no idea that selling 40K seats a game in March was unusual.

The anxiety must have been extremely high for that last week. The Conigliaro story is devastating. My mind just got blown by Wikipedia. Cleveland's home attendance average in '67 was only 8100 people, so like 10% of Municipal Stadium. The Cards led everyone at 25K. I'd have assumed higher overall.

That was Yaz's Triple Crown year, correct? I had seven more years before my lifetime started.

Generally, yes. Sorry, I went down this interesting rabbit hole sabr.org/gamesproj/ga...

2012 was the last time the Guards didn't win at least 76 games. Although, in 2021 they were no hit three different times so that was demoralizing.

You mean the Myles Straw era didn't cut it for you, Bob?

There were no other sporting events last night. I just happened to angrily walk 2.5 miles south down Snelling in the dark for no reason at all.

Haha! Yes, that was very true tonight!

I'm sorry, David. What don't you understand that we can explain?

Stagflation means deer nuts will be over a buck.

Drove over to Lake Street in Minneapolis from Saint Paul this afternoon to pick up some carryout and was murdered no fewer than fifteen times.

Product description for a vacuum that includes “Pet Crevice Tool.”

I don’t think my cat will appreciate me putting the vacuum there.

Origin of the phrase, "get your ducks in a row."

Thank you! That is a wildly narrow list of people who are alive!

Hey hey hey! Thank you! Sadly, if that happened, I didn't hear about it!

Five for Fighting music sounds like something you’d listen to while sobbing and making Kraft Mac & Cheese in the microwave at 2 am.

Picture of my wife’s food next to two potholes in the pavement that look like the footprint of a giant men’s dress shoe.

Found a footprint for British Bigfoot just outside of Beauworth in Hampshire.

I'm liking the synergy of this.

Thinking I might spend my retirement spouting hustle culture nonsense on LinkedIn or trying to make the three martini lunch a thing again. I don't know. Could go either way.

From Minnesota, no. Lived here the last 20 or so years, you betcha.

You don't have to like this or anything, but this was an old tweet that I liked that I wasn't ready to let go of.

Every Radiohead song is basically the soundtrack to the moment in a movie when two spaceships dock with each other and the heroes of the movie learn that everyone on the other ship is dead.

That's awesome!

Holy Shit! 1992 I'm graduating high school and starting college. I've transitioned to Nirvana, Matthew Sweet, Tom Fucking Cochrane and getting ready for Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and Liz Phair. I have never heard or seen Easy by Faith No More and I'm blown the fuck away in 2025. 🤯

At the time, I *thought* he was gonna be the replacement for Brett Butler but also I was 15🤷‍♀️

This reminded 15-year-old me of the coolest (on UHF TV) catch I ever saw live that didn't count. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cs9...
