I did not get all the winter baseball reports done before I had to leave this morning. I will get them done when I can, possibly this afternoon, more likely tonight, or maybe not until tomorrow morning.
1-0 to Chelsea is bad enough, but for John Terry to be the scorer...ugh. Agger completely ballsed up his marking.
I would have thought Chelsea would finish off that game 3-0, not let Liverpool draw.
the rubes at Metrodome are getting ridiculous. In the second quarter, the Vikings kicked a field goal because it was 4th and 3 at the 6, some fans booed loudly. The FG pushed it too a 2 score lead.
I guess you need to score a 80 yard TD every drive to please some fans.
To do that, they would have had to run 37 yards the wrong direction, then turnaround and come back and score. Or they could have run the other direction (and scored for the other team). I'm guessing neither would have pleased said fans.
Im guessing these rubes are the same people who boo Mauer
Today is my godson's birthday. He is one. He was born without the left side of his heart (among many other serious issues). The fact that he is still alive is quite simply unbelievable. It's a very exciting day.
Both of my daughters would have died if they'd been born thirty years ago, but neither of them has a backstory quite that...dire-sounding. I'll raise a glass to your godson's life, and may it last long.
Is that a hypoplastic left heart? From my work, I'm vaguely familiar with various heart defects at birth*, but I can't really keep them straight. (Definitely doesn't sound like a transposition of the great vessels. Maybe a tetralogy of fallot?)
*Because very little else hits $1M reinsurance deductibles with the frequency of severe heart defects at birth.
(Re-edited several times to try to seem less cold and prying, please forgive if I failed. I rarely get to see the stories behind these types of cases, just dollar amounts, prognoses, and diagnoses.)
Yes, hypoplastic left heart.
I wish I could watch more Vikings games if only to watch Adrian Peterson run. He is amazing.
Seconded. While watching the game today, there were no fewer than five "holy cow, how does he do that?" moments. It'd be a shame if we gave him the KG treatment.
It'd also be a shame if we gave him the Mauer treatment.
AP don't hit singles.
I'm watching Grizz/Heat and Ellington is having the game of his career. I bet Grizz fans are smiling about how they won the trade for Cunningham as well. Heh.
Six three pointers for the Duke so far tonight.
Make that seven.

Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR
#Twolves forward Chase Budinger suffered a lateral meniscus tear of his left knee during yesterday's game at Chicago.
Nuts.
Drove to Bismarck today. Listened to latest Gleeman and the Geek podcast. That was a new low.
I stopped after about four or five episodes. What was so bad about this one?
Aaron is talking about Twins recent acquisitions. John has the guy confused with someone else. Aaron talks about a guy and John isn't even listening to him. Discussing Samuel Deduno, Aaron makes the point that by the end of the season, Deduno's ERA regressed to about where his secondary numbers said it should be. John takes this as an argument that Deduno's ERA wasn't that great. He goes on and on about how Aaron is basing his evaluation of Deduno based on one or two starts. Aaron correctly argues that no, he's doing the opposite of that. This goes on for about a half hour. Seriously, I want to hear what Aaron has to say about things, but John is absolutely unbearable.
Aaron was having a tough time trying to explain his position, but John was exceptionally clueless in that podcast (episode 66). I still have no idea what point John thought he was trying to get across.
I still laughed quite a few times. It was one of the more tangential episodes I've listened to. Maybe a third of it was about the Twins or even baseball.
He was only having trouble because John is as thick as a brick.
Heh, yep. You'd think John would have learned by now that if Aaron is stating a position and backing it up with stats, John should just agree with him, even if he doesn't understand what Aaron is talking about.
This week's podcast has been a little better, but I'm only 40 minutes in and there has been no stat talk yet. Hey, Robbie Incicmikoskwi* and his new job get a mention! He will be missed- maybe. Also, some maybe-unintentional humor during that segment.
*may not be correct spelling
The ridiculous thing is that John is the one who *apparently* studied statistics in college while Aaron went to journalism school. (Although, everyone knows that Carleton isn't all that rigorous.)
