      1. I still can't believe the Fat Prince of Bel Air is a vegan. Unpossible. /iseewhatyoudidthere.

        1. Not difficult for me to believe. For one, sugar is vegan--there's even a vegan donut shop in Seattle. (Mighty O, they are pretty tasty, but no Top Pot.)

    1. I don't think I can dislike him until I begin to realize he is a Twin. Until about 30 seconds ago, I had forgotten.

  8. And my MLB.tv is in midseason form. The choppy reception saved me from witnessing The Marquis Meltdown™®©.

  11. No Pek! tonight due to a bum ankle, and the Wolves are wearing Muskies jerseys.

      1. Its some sort of ABA homage teams are doing across the league. there was a Minnesota muskies team for 1 season so I guess the Wolves signed up for that. The Wolves were doing it for 6 or 8 home games.

    1. You can count me as highly anti-Blake (strikes me as an incredible douche) and Paul (hate the CP3 nickname), so I am in favor of this.

  18. You know what we haven't seen for a while? A 40-10 game with five threes. Okay, it was last game, but a girl can dream about back-to-backs, right?

  19. I cracked open a Trois Pistoles tonight. Who, boy I balls Unibroue. I'm making baked mac and cheese with bacon, green chili, and scallions for dinner. That's what greek missed.

    1. I dont know, it sounded like he was going to play earlier today, then was a late scratch

    1. so an Eephus pitch is always a ball?

      gah, no runs after the bases loaded situation

    2. My two favorite Gladdenisms that inning were "Hughes is expected to be able to be back to playing in the field in about a week to seven days" and paraphrasing "The Pirates' problem is that they have been spending too much on their young pitchers in the draft. Paying them too much. They'll benefit by the new system which taxes teams overpaying for their picks."

  29. I hate the part of the Twins telecast where it becomes an infomercial for Fort Myers

    1. You noticed that too? "So if people wanted to contact you, what would they do? blah.blah.blah.com..." Meh

      1. Just remember, no matter what they say, the Dells in the summer is still full of FIBs.

        1. I was explaining FIBs to someone last week. I was flabbergasted that they were unfamiliar.

          2. In defense of the FIB:

            As a kid on the lake in Northern Minny, I used to do summer jobs (raking, brush, painting, docks, etc).

            A lady from Des Moines had me do yard work, docks, etc. At the end she would give me ice cream, and said, "So how about ten, or nine dollars?"

            Further down the lake, a Chi-guy had me raking, hauling brush, etc. He would pull out his wallet and start peeling twenties. "Tell me when to stop," he said. I'd stop around 80 or a hundo.

            1. Yeah, but the lady from Des Moines probably uses her turn signal and doesn't try to kill people on I90.

              1. There's only about a 10% chance that someone from Des Moines/most anywhere in Iowa uses turn signals, in my experience.

                1. heh, i like this version of the painter lately when he pops up randomly to insult us 😉

              1. Luckily for me, I have the entire state of Iowa in between me and Illinois. That's about the best thing I have to say about Iowa.

              3. Mebbe Chile, where (not kidding) the water swirls counter clockwise down the drain).

                1. Pssht, that happens everywhere south of the equator, right? There's much better reasons to visit Chile than that (my uncle used to live there, btw.)

                  1. Agreed. An hour from Santiago you are either in 1) Andes, 2) desert, 3) vineyards, 4) beaches.

  30. I didnt notice Beasley was in the game until Jim Peterson said he was coming out

              1. If you right click the image, and (assuming you're in Chrome) select Copy Image URL, it should give a direct link to the image. For Facebook the URL will probably have "fcbkcdn" in the URL.

                This is also kind of horrifying, because even though you have something protected behind your profile, people can direct link to your picture. But hey!

                    1. At least you didn't let the robot defeat you!

                      I assume this is your picture? If so, if you want to upload a picture to share here in the future, imgur.com is REALLY easy and free.

                    2. I just did this because it was easy from my phone. Though, I imagine imgur is easy too.

    1. I really hate it when the refs allow taller players (DeAndre) to go over the back of a player who has established his position (Love) for a rebound without calling the foul. It's such an obvious violation, every time.

    1. speaking of guzzy, when i heard he's working on a comeback this year, i thought he was close to 40. isn't he, like, 33, or something?

    1. I would like for Wes to be banished somewhere dark and quiet where he can think about his crimes against basketball for a while.

        1. I'm picturing a concrete-block building somewhere in Serbia with a dirty mattress on the floor and one chair in the corner. That'll work.

    2. Alan Horton ‏ @WolvesRadio
      @kevinlove has 25pts & 10rbs tonight vs. #clippers, it's the 26th time this year he's had a 20/10 game. #nba #twolves

      damn!

  47. I really, really dislike Blake Griffin. It's gotta be the absurd amount of hype the guy gets, but lord, he really, really bugs me.

    1. No, I think it's more than that. Based on his commercials, including the dunk contest, the dude is far and away an arrogant douche. Combine that with the undeserved hype, and you've got hate.

      1. See, I've avoided all of this and I still feel that way. I feel reassured in my feelings with this information! Either way, the dude's overhyped, one-dimensional game is pretty annoying.

        1. It does help significantly that the following equation is true:

          Kevin Love > Blake Griffin

      2. I have a feeling none of that dunk contest was his idea. With the weird product placement and the press release proclaiming the winner before the event happened, I think it went a lot higher than that.

        1. But none of those words make me hate the guy less. (as much as you can hate a guy you have never met.)

  49. Remember when Beasley was playing and we didn't know he was out there? Yeah, I want him to go back to doing that.

    1. Did he actually foul there? My feed quality isn't the greatest, so its sorta hard to tell, but it didn't look like the best call ever.

        1. Alright, I can accept that. The replay didn't really show what happened after the shoot was released.

      1. I have a feeling the Wolves will get up by 20 and he'll sit on the bench and not get it.

    1. I love how this team can let a lead slip away some, but not panic and get back to doing what is successful.

    1. I was just thinking the same thing. My guess is its related to Ridnour playing pretty decent tonight.

  56. Barea,Ridnour, Wes, Beasley, Love

    check that Williams, not Wes
    smallish lineup on the court right now

    3. I think that's a foul on Luke Ridnour!

      I think I might know what it is about Griffin I dislike: I imagine if I went to high school with the guy, he would've been one of those assholes who constantly tried to intimidate dudes like me. He has no problem pulling Ridnour to the floor there. I'd love to see him try that crap with Pek or something.

  69. That foul was on Griffin, right? I mean, there's no way he wasn't completely out of control and shoving Ridnour...

    1. I think Ridnour fouled him, but falling down, he grabbed Ridnour by the shoulder and pulled him down. There's no way that shouldn't be something on Douche Turd.

  71. At least they gave him a T. I'd give him a flagrant offensive foul, though. Has that ever happened?

  72. LAC announcer: "they end up all over each other..."

    i don't think that was consensual.

  76. Okay, so if the shooter has released the ball, and lands on the ground, and gets bumped, that's a foul?

    2. His game has been developing at a very fast rate. His ability to go to work in one-on-one situations is going to elevate his game even further.

  83. If Griffin is on the court, just hack him and not give the Clips a 3 ball attempt

    2. for the record, i'm not saying i think it was, but the LAC feed kept cutting away from any definitive shot.

  98. So should we boo Love out of town for not getting his second straight 40/10? He can take Josephine with him.

  99. Wolves now at 20 wins. The last time they had 20 wins was the 2008-09 season. Randy Wittman and Kevin McHale coached that team.
    Up next is 30 wins, and that hasnt happened since 2006-07 when Dewayne Casey and Randy Wittman coached. The last time a Wolves team finished over .500 was 2004-05
