I want to move out of Minnesota. It’s really just for sports-related reasons, but still. I think it’s a valid excuse.
The Timberwolves trade everyone to Boston.
The Twins let one of my top three favorite players go to another team, and try to trade another one of my top three favorite players to any other team [...]

Just because I can’t find your name in the phone book, fine sir, does not mean that I won’t find a way to track you down and say mean things to you. (Smith, for those if you not in the know, took over as the Minnesota Twins General Manager this past season when Terry Ryan [...]

I just watched my first college football game of the year. It was a match up between the Missouri Tigers and the Kansas Jayhawks, so as a former Missouri resident and former (and I guess current) University of Missouri fan, it was not only an idea, but an obligation. And a big fat GO TIGERS [...]

Back in the day when NBA players didn’t have five billion tattoos and the Chicago Bulls were unstoppable, I had a ton of basketball jerseys. My favorite ones to wear to high school during my junior and senior year? Either Dennis Rodman’s Bulls jersey or Bobby Hurley’s Kings jersey. Neither one of those do me [...]

We went to a hockey game in Mankato last night. The University of Minnesota Golden Gophers were playing the Minnesota State University - Mankato Mavericks. So, yeah, we were not exactly in Gopher fan territory when we were there. And the Maverick hockey fans? Not so creative with their cheering.
Gopher Fans to the Maverick Goalie: [...]

There’s a certain women’s national sports association that, within the past year or so, I’ve really started to love and support. There was so much support, in fact, that I decided to buy season tickets for the 2008 season of this said organization. I’ve been reading and intermittently posting on a message board that has [...]

I got a call this morning on my cell phone from Mitch, who was calling from the Minnesota Twins. For five seconds I got excited. I thought maybe they’d seen my resume and wanted me to, you know, manage the team or be the person that stretches Joe Mauer before every game. Yeah, no such [...]

I had to call and cancel an interview I had this morning, because the starting pay was way too far beneath what I needed to actually live. And, well, I’m not so down with that.
The two good things from the other day? It must have been April Fool’s Day or something in some part of [...]

Starting on 11/26, I’ll be gainfully employed again. I could have started on 11/12, but it would have made things difficult to go home for Thanksgiving, so I opted for the later start date. Six weeks without a job? I can deal with that. And it’s about time, because I’ve raided the Dollar Spot at [...]

I’m glad the Red Sox won the series. They’re my #2 team, so I’m a happy camper. Especially since my #1 team (the Twins) happen to be the most disorganized, backwards acting team in the world right now.
They extended Joe Nathan’s contract for another year - $6 million for another year as the closer. Never [...]
