We went to Fogo de chao last night. I was in a coma by the time they dropped the dessert menu.

 

Getting the check probably woke you up.

I take it they must be good, then? They advertise in airline magazines so I have steered clear.

 

It was great. It didn't start out that way, but they got it together.

Two nice wins this weekend. Good starting pitching, enough hitting, good fielding (Herrmann's goof notwithstanding).

At the moment, the Twins are in second place in the Central. Who expected that?

I hear ya. It was a party of 6, but it was the first time I've been with all my kids since the holidays.

I would like to go there just for the salad bar, and skip all the meat. I love the salad bar there.

The salad bar is really nice. It's too bad they haven't discovered the chilled plate concept. The coolest plate I could find was about 100 degrees.

Then knocked him right back out again.

The starting pitchers just started their season a month late, is all. And the sooner "The Mechanic" goes back down to Roc. the better.....geez that could have been disastrous in the 9th inning- unaceptable. Can we now bury once and for all, the "fine corner outfielder" tag for him, pleez?

The Wild game is getting good.

 

Large family of Blackhawk fans down the street were yelling their heads off with the windows open while we were working outside. Thinking there might have to be a late night Bluto mission to desecrate a certain pair of garden gnomes.

For those of us "watching" the game replay, on Twins Daily, from 35,000 feet. What did Hermann do (or not do)

Dropped a routine fly ball that would have ended the game. Next hitter lines a single to right, of course, bringing Markakis up as the tying run. Perk blew him away on 4 pitches.

Here's a clue:

 

You have to wait until the very last out to find out, or, what would have been the very last out... Corey Provus literally said "and the Twins win it and take the series!"

^^^ or what Chief said

I heard somewhere that he makes $23 million a year. If true, this would have some bearing on back spasms.

 

Has anyone else noticed that, if someone is hard of hearing, "bilateral" sounds like "live batter drill" and "back spasms" sounds like "back at 'em"? Do you think everything we've "heard" could have been a misunderstanding?

By the way, why weren't we celebrating Dave Kingman pop fly day!?

 

I guess there's always next year..

I lost my party supplies somewhere in the attic.

ChiTown isn't here today... I think she is packing and getting out to beat the rush.

I was at a Blackhawks party. We won today.

Just for that, I kind of hope Maria fell off the mountain on Friday.

Hahaha ... she didn't but that would have made for an interesting version.

Ive seen enough of North Dakota for the time being.

It doesn't take much, I'm happy to have Minnesota between me and ND

The hills are alive...

Ouch.

I haven't been too many places but been to Chicago a few times and always have a good time. Why do Illinoisians hate IL so much?

Having lived in IL, here's my take: Very corrupt, high taxes for low return (compared to MN where the taxes are higher but the return is pretty good) big disparity between rich and poor, and there's not much by way of social welfare for those who are on the poor side of the coin. Everything in IL happens in Chicago.

No wonder P-Flo started, that's the last thing you want your SS to do
