1. I had a dream last night that philosofer invited me to his church baseball league, which was him and one girl and they used ghosties and played 1-inning games. He beaned me in the side on this first pitch, then gave up a 2 run homer to the girl.

   1. This is fantastic. Weird to be having WGOM dreams, but still fantastic.

      1. The question is, do we appear as our avatars or our alter egos?

         1. I don't think I've had any dreams about you guys that I haven't met in person. I've known philosofer for 24 years so it's a bit different

   2. I laughed. Hard.

   3. PHILS BASEBALL!!!!

2. You may have noticed that "Winter Wonderland" did not appear yesterday. It will not appear today, either. Tomorrow? Well, that depends on how today goes. Sorry about that.

   1. Don't worry. Your job here is secure.

      1. The dreaded vote of confidence!

      2. Unlike Norv Turner's.

         1. Oooh, burn.

3. Norv Turner out.

   1. On the one hand, the offense has been terrible. On the other hand, I could just about find my way through the offensive line and into the backfield, so...best of luck to the next guy?

      1. Yeah, it's hard to imagine anyone was blaming Turner all that much.

         1. That statement assumes football fans are reasonable. I am aware of instances where that was not the case.

   2. Did I know he was the Vikings O.C. before this?
      As if choking in the postseason (or the pre-postseason) was not predetermined enough already!

4. Looks like there's a decent chance I could be available for lunch in downtown St. Paul on Friday, if there would be interest in some sort of mini-caucus.

   1. In.

   2. Lunch!?! I was just posting about the surprisingly good Noodles&Co. tomato basil bisque I'm currently enjoying!
      Not at my desk to confirm, but I could probably make it to lunch on Fri.

      1. Happy hour is out, since I'm heading north for deer opener after the conference.

         1. I hope you shoot better than you pitch.

            1. His aim is good

               1. Oh, it was intentional then!

                  1. Benches clear!

                     1. I maintain my innocence. He was hanging all over the plate. It was a preemptive strike, given the impending home run. I didn't have enough time to warm up. The ball slipped.

                        1. Ha! Reminds me of this clip:
                           

      2. [edit] Not at my desk to confirm, but I could probably can make it to lunch on Fri.

   3. I can make it too.

5. I thought the Wolves made a mistake drafting Zach Lavine, thought he was one of those super athletic guys that wouldn't figure out how to play basketball.

   Sure, it's only 3 games but man he's already so much better than I ever expected (but even last season surprised me). He can shoot and has a coach that encourages launching 3s, his athleticism is as advertised and who knows, maybe he'll even figure out defense some day down the road. Nice job snagging him at #13 overall, Flip.

   1. All. Of. This. Well said Razor.

   2. Yeah, I think we would be appreciating him even more before this season if the previous regime wasn't trying to cram him into the PG position.

6. Oof, this is my first time seeing the pregame show. Part of me wonders if all the praise for A-Rod is simply because he's sitting next to Pete Rose and Tom Verducci.
