  1. I guess f#€£*^& not. Guess whose kid tested positive?
    Gonna be some tense days around here.

      1. On the day he and daughter were eligible for a vaccine, too. Mom is taking this really hard.

    1. Man, that's like falling down right before the finish line. Hope it turns out to be the mildest of cases.

      1. Good memory (but now almost two three years ago). I mentioned a video of olde timey San Francisco, and it was probably this video, but didn't link it. I must not have had the link readily available. Nonetheless, the version I watched would have been the original footage.

    1. Now I'm going to wonder all day what was the name of California's Best Beer in 1906

    2. The same guy did a restoration of this 1902 film of the German “Flying Train,” which looks like straight-up steampunk sci-fi:

    1. I remember driving from Cedar Rapids to Minneapolis after a real intense flare and you could see the aurora south of the state line. My Oklahoma relatives have even seen an aurora but they didn't know what it was, they thought it was a prairie fire.

    1. There's no actual outfielder they could bring up? Why not Rooker? Why not Keon Broxton? Broxton can't hit, but neither can Refsnyder, and at least he's supposed to be good on defense.

      1. I wondered the same thing. Broxton’s a proper center fielder; Refsnyder has fewer major league innings in center field than La Tortuga.

        Handedness can’t be the answer, either. Both Broxton and Refsnyder bat right-handed.

  2. Ugh Chelsea lost to Leicester in FA Cup Final. I've been really invested in this Chelsea team and a that was a big disappointment.

    But I'm not that broken up. Maybe it's age, maybe it's because Leicester is a cool team, but I really think it's because I'm a Minnesota men sports fan and I've had literally nearly 50 years of disappointed with with just a few highlights (Twins - 87, 91, Gopher puck in my teens and nearly 20 years ago). These teams can't break a heart that no longer beats.

  3. The Celtics are suiti6up like 8 players for this game and are blowing the Wolves out of Target Center

  4. I have an interview at Target Field on Tuesday for that Twins usher job. Looking forward to it.

  5. Too bad it wasn't a milestone post:

    DreadPirate: I don’t want to alarm everyone, but a Twin starting pitcher might throw a pitch in the seventh inning
