My brother celebrated his birthday last night by going to a Garth Brooks concert. In some ways, we're very different people.

Paging AMR. Commentary is so-so, but the pictures are fun.
"Here’s a vulture that grew a beard to try to escape all the baggage of being a vulture, which might have worked had it come up with a cleverer name for itself than the bearded vulture"
Yeah, it did. "Lammergeier". Pretty much the coolest bird name of all. Trying to think of another one.
Unless you're a German bird, in which case Lamb Vulture isn't all that clever. At least beards are trendy.
My British "Birds of Britain and Europe" calls it the Lammergeier.
"Lamb Vulture" is pretty cool if you imagine it picking up lambs and dropping them on rocks like they do with bones.
Unless you're a fan of lambs.
The Cock of the Rock was one of my favorite birds as a kid.
I had a red plastic pencil-topper and said it was a cock-of-the-rock when the bill snapped off and then I made a series of stories about it.
Molitor’s coaching lineup still has six vacancies, and it’s not clear whether any of Gardenhire’s other coaches will be offered positions. Ryan said he and the new manager are working daily to fill the staff, with the biggest emphasis on choosing a pitching coach. Rick Anderson, who held the job for all 13 seasons under Gardenhire, will not return.
It seemed pretty obvious that Anderson wasn't coming back, but I hadn't seen it confirmed until today from LEN3.
Souhan lost any chance of receiving a pass on anything he says with his Jerry Kill piece. There is no "benefit of the doubt" for him.
"Done in one", as they say.
Unfortunately, the Twins allowed the "Joe Mauer is soft" meme to become entrenched a few years ago, and it's going to take a long and concerted effort to weaken it much now.
“Do I wish [Wiggins] had some of KG’s dog in him, his competitiveness? Yeah. But that’s something that might come. But how I compare them is that they both talk about wanting to be great, they always talk about being the best they can be, they both aren’t afraid to work and their both two-way type players. That’s why they’re very similar.”
He's Canadian. He's not going to have that kind of "dog" in him.

Berardino had it a few days ago
He didn't pitch to contract.
New, wordless, Bill Watterson comic.
Sweet - thanks for sharing!
I've got a second interview next week!
Bravo! Is this for the first one or the less than part time one?
The first one!
That's good!
Best wishes for you, Phil.
You going hunting?
Congrats buddy - second one's a good sign!
Good lord, the willfully stupid – Puckett's Pond: In defense of Jim Souhan and the whole "concussion" thing.
Where’s your basic human decency?
The f***?
The first comment.

Reading Molitor's comment on Mauer yesterday, I have some hope that Molitor will be better about that.
Considering both went to CDH, I don't think there is anyone that would be better about that.
I think he will, but it's going to take a long time to undo the damage that was already done.
Molitor was injured a lot while Joe is just soft.
Makes perfect sense.
It is so obvious that Mauer is soft. Only 4 HRs? Definition of soft!!!11111one111!!!
Soft body, soft bat. Right????
QBS and 1Bs should wear skirts!
Don't forget point guards. Joe has been all three.
Scary, but tragedy averted.
ruh roh.
