I was really excited to go to the Twins game tonight for several reasons. I hadn’t been to a game since last month. Joe Mauer’s back from his stint on the DL. I snagged an awesome single ticket. And I dug out the ol’ 10x optical zoom camera.
The Twins won, the nachos were good, I [...]

My baseball obsession has kind of taken a backseat this summer, mainly because of the other stuff I have going on, but it doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate a good scruffy-faced injured-catcher from time to time.
Big Joe Mauer, you should lose the razor every once in a while. I’m just sayin’.

I’m a little scared the [...]

You know how I can tell it’s a rough start to my Twins’ baseball season? I look to see what the score is, and is and find out some homeboy named Julio DePaula is starting against Cleveland tomorrow night. I mean, a lump of shit gives me more hope than Sidney Ponson, so I can [...]

Man, after Sidney Ponson threw like a douchebag off the mound against the Yankees last night, I knew I had to get a ticket for tonight’s game. Ahh, baseball during a winter weather advisory. I don’t see how it could get any better.
Speaking of baseball (okay, not really), I got home from work last night [...]

You know where the name “March Madness” came from? It came from my birthday being 18 days into the month. You know who borrowed the term “March Madness”? The NCAA. And I’m okay with that.

Just go here to sign up, click the “Sign Up Now” or “Get Another Team” button, and follow [...]

“I don’t like gay people and I don’t like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don’t like it. It shouldn’t be in the world or in the United States.”
Tim Hardaway, a former NBA point guard, has a reaction to a former NBA player John Amaechi coming out recently and it’s obviously not [...]

I am in sales. You may or may not know that. I’ve been involved in some type of customer service for probably 15 years now You may or may not know that. And what you may really be shocked at hearing is that I’m damn good at customer service, too. I’ve won awards, people! (Okay, [...]

I know. It’s December. What could a baseball team possibly have done to make me mad during the off-season? Try wasting money ($1.25 million plus incentives) on a 37-year old backup utility infielder/designated hitter. Because that’s where we struggled during the playoffs? No, it’s not.
Sure, he batted .319 with the Brewers last year, and I [...]

Ever since The Great Blog Discovery by Co-Workers in 2006, I’ve refrained a lot from talking about work in great detail. But now I’m not so worried about it since a) I don’t really get a chance to blog at work anyway and b) I write about my co-workers other places anyway. Having said that, [...]
