The boy wanted to take his school computer up to his room to "do his homework" (he can't do much on those things, but he can access YouTube). I told him no, the living room or kitchen was fine. He said, "Dad, I'll cast my screen, okay?" I thought for a moment, and said, yeah, sure. And so, he could sit comfortably in his room, and while he was likely also talking to his special lady friend, I could watch his computer on the living room TV to see he was at least still working on his math. The future is weird.
I am officially rooting for the Brewers. Hearing Uecker call the final play would be joyous.
This message from the Twins didn't last long.
Essentially same date last year, against Oakland, Wednesday night, Twins won the day before and won this game. Attendance was 20,520.
Total attendance last year was 1.974 million. So far, with three games to go, total attendance was 1.869 million. Add three more 15k games puts the team at a net loss of 60k fans compared to last year. 2022 had 1.801 million fans so still above that year.
I didn't mean to include the tweet about the attendance. My main point is that they Twins had a letter to the public they basically they didn't do anything to make it true. Kind of like "this take didn't age well."
You inspired me.
Interesting story in the STRIB this morning about the Green Bus.
I hope David gets it done. I also hope someone puts a fundraising effort together. I'd give a few bucks.
I have some insider on this and David's been trying to pawn that bus on MN DFL candidates for years. It needs LOTS of work. Not saying anything disparaging about David Wellstone or the bus, just that he's obviously now doing the "maybe some free publicity will help get this thing out of the garage" route now.
Ah.
Well, the DFL maybe should have taken him up on it a long time ago. 😬
Rickey is the best.
yeesh.
Wow!
My favorite part of that second graphic is that he apparently forgot to remove the White Sox since they've been at 0% for the whole season.
Where's Gene Mauch when you need him?
Beer choir again tonight! It started near StL, but there are chapters in the Twin Cities as well -- check it out sometime
How many times does it end with everyone caterwauling "Piano Man"?
"Piano Man" isn't in the Beer Choir Hymnal. That said, the motto is Sing responsibly!
"99 hymnal books on the wall, 99 hymnal books. Take one down, pass it around, ...."
