1. I didn't know where to put this, but I knew it needed to go somewhere: Dune recreated with gummies

   1. Oh. My. God.

      the spice must flow!

2. Maybe its a good thing the Twins left the New Britain/Hartford when they did.

   The FBI Is Now Investigating Hartford's Disaster Of A Minor-League Stadium Deal

   1. When it does finally finish, it'll be a 12 minute drive from us. Too bad the Twins aren't still affiliated. I'll get to watch Rockies players instead.

3. 1) Byung-ho wants to play.
   2) down 1 in the Mayor's Cup
   3) Twins have a guy on the team named Field?

   1. I hope he's not a DH.

4. Twins reliever Buddy Boshers made 37 outings last season in the majors but he still heard his name mispronounced by the new public-address announcer at Hammond Stadium for Friday’s opener.

   Rather than “Bo-SHEARS,” as it’s properly pronounced, Boshers was introduced as “BOSH-ers.” Maybe the confusion was due to Atlanta Falcons punter Matt Bosher’s recent appearance in the Super Bowl.

   “That’s all right; I’m used to it,” Boshers said. “When I was in high school, the PA guy in Hoover, Ala., called me Bubby Boo-SHAY. The next time I came up, he fixed it and called me Bobby Bashers.”

   1. I feel his pain.

      1. I guess I don't know. I assumed RESH?

         1. Yes, that makes you part of the 1%!

         2. If Brennan Boesch ("Bosh") had been a more notable player, it'd be even worse.
            "ROEsh" (like "rose" with a lisp) gets about 90% of the first attempts.

            1. German it would be almost Rish (spoken with pursed lips)

               1. That's be close enough.
                  It's clearly been anglicized a bit, just not in the easy way.

                  I've mentioned before that my mother's maiden name is Mueller, pronounced "Miller".
                  Some of my cousins, her brothers' sons, go by that pronunciation.
                  Other cousins (the ones that played hockey) gave up early on in their lives and go by "Myuller"... like someone who cares for mules.

                  1. And that would be like Meeler pronounced through pursed lips. Really you can go a lot of ways trying to pronounce German umlauts and get away with it
