Recovering perfectionist. Long-suffering Minnesota sports fan. (Don’t get me going on the Twins.) Nature heals the mind, and dogs make everything better.

Good Lord, why was this guy not in prison with a record like that?

Pretty sure the guy in the striped shirt in third photo is Ron Gardenhire.

Definitely. I never missed one, until this year's. And I have no interest in the 2026 one, either.

The kid is amazing. Starts the season in low A ball and does this in the World Series.

And he started the season in low A and worked his way up to the majors by mid-September.

That Clement slide was Nick Punto-esque.

Smoltz finally made me turn the sound off. Just. Shut. The. F. Up.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Or you could drive over to Stillwater to the protest at Oak Creek Crossing Park.

The person who left a note under my windshield wiper at the grocery store had the right idea. The note said, "It gets easier. Jesus loves you." There was a rose attached to it. Mine was the only car that had the note, so maybe a bit creepy?

I‘ve never been, either. Husband won’t go because he won’t be crammed into an airplane seat that long. I need travel buddies.

Or, as I heard someone call it in a convenience store on the North Shore, "the Red Star."

What’s Michelle Bachman doing these days? CarShield commercials.

My dog picked up on how stressed I was watching The Lost Bus and started staring at the screen, panting. He's never watched the TV before. I feel like I should watch a comedy before bedtime to calm him.

The entire Twins minor league must not stress fundamentals, either. And what happened to Miranda and Julien?

Have you looked at the Saints record lately? Of course, most of his team was playing at Target Firld this season.

Alden (hedge fund owner of the PP and many other newspapers) got rid of us many years ago.

My husband, a Brewers fan, has a one-team subscription to MLB TV, so I've watched them more than the Twins this season. They're fun. I'll be pulling for them.

The ones I loved are nearly turning 60. Still listening to them.

I hadn’t been paying attention. Then I tuned in for the 7th. I’m laughing.

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do.

Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

I won't be able to afford a subscription to watch the Twins next season. Which might not be a bad thing.

At this point, no. But Outman is playing!

The Pohlads don’t own the Saints. Something called Diamond Baseball Holdings owns them and more than 40 other minor league teams.

An influx of money to do it might help. I haven't read anything about the Filmore Minneapolis next door to Target Field in ages. But then, I'm not their target audience.
