Pavelec sucks. Jets will be one of the three worst teams in the league. Sigh.

That's awesome... If you can put Alfred E. On it tastefully... It'll be my new Avatar.

Down the hall, first door on the right.

Not in the Bedroom... I can tolerate a lot... But that... In the bed room... I gotta draw the line.

Have a beer, your usual sardonic wit is giving way to a jaded bitterness today. Pav needs to have a better year, sucks might be a bit strong but I get the sentiment. Bottom 3? No chance, much better team than that, although likely not playoffs yet. Doesn't help they play in arguably the toughest division in the league and in the Western conference.

RB - I PM'ed you on this subject.

I'm not sure if I'm more sad, or more relieved, that the season is over.

Lotta noise coming from The Bank...

Shh, Chief's taping the game, so no spoilers.  He's hoping Tarkenton has a good day.

One beer, consumed. Still bitter.

 

Perhaps a Jets thread is in order, even if we're the only ones who post in it.

Maybe stop drinking Pil or have 5 more, that should do it.

 

I'm in, a two person Jet thread beginning opening night. Some gratuitous Wild mocking should invite more participants.

He's taping the Gopher game, the real Minnesota football team.

So you're saying you think you can mock the Wild enough more than the average Wild fan to generate conflict?

No, but the not so average incendiary types should be no problem, as evidenced by a large segment of this website.

I'm not sure what I'm more relieved by, the end of this Twins season or no more Jeter.

Where I live the sound from the stadium enters a resonating cavity, aka the 35W trench. Then it carries over this way and about a block away I can hear the PA system, and the crowd. The way the Gophers are going there ought to be quite a bit.

Must be the echo from the road fans in Ann Arbour finally reaching you from yesterday.

Maybe I should go out and listen to the reaction to Ponder.

Dad... Is setting up the card table... That didn't take long... I walk in the door... Give him a hug and he turns around and gets the card table...

Looks like I'm gonna have to concentrate on Gin.

Dad remembers every card that is played so I gotta try and match that or lose badly.

He rolls his eyes when I discard an 8 after he picked up an 8 around 10 cards ago.

Gin? I find vodka far more enjoyable! This is not to say that I have not partook of the devil Gin, but the experience was painful!

I also haven't finished watching Don Larsen's world series game - no spoilers plz kthxbye.

Don't bother if u like hitting,,,. Lousy game?

Youth and intelligence is never any match for age and experience and cheating.

But what if you are realy not that young, and not that smart??

Toi! Et de rien.

I think this was the post of the day, I cannot believe u did not get one like on it! I thout TD'ers had a better sense of humor than that!

I am also watching the Astros -- if they can win then the Twins get the third draft pick -- unfortunately the Astros are now behind to the Mets, so it looks like the Twins will pick at #4.

Did anyone really think at the beginning of the year that what we would be playing for was a higher draft pick??

So we draft 6th.Tie with Astros goes to them and they get the extra pick (2) for screwing up this years draft.

 

My guess is there will be 5 blue chip guys.

It's the Twins Way!

I had a golf outing and missed the entire Game Thread. Finished reading it just now. While it is sad the season is over, the Game Threads have kept me interested and entertained. Much thanks to Brian and ChiTown and all the contributors.

 

Since I am what I am, I will start some post-mortem threads and hope many of you contribute.

 

Spring Training can't come soon enough for me.

Owch Wiedersein (sp)

I feel like a Oscar winner, late in the program. All the best jokes have been used, all the people have been thanked, all the platitudes delivered. So instead of thanking my mom and dad, and my agent, and producer, and my 3rd grade English teacher, I will simply say that I enjoyed the time, the witty repartee, the sarcasm.

 

It takes a certain kind of individual to watch the Twins the last 4 years, listen to Dick and Bert sell optimism (and tickets) and retain your sense of humor. Luckily most of those have landed on game thread. Even more fortuitous is that I discovered it!

 

So, until next year, I bid a fond au deu!

One beer, consumed. Still bitter.

Then switch to hard liquor.

 

And I'll post in it when they play the Blackhawks ... my post will go like this "Go Blackhawks!" or 'Yay Blackhawks!" (because that's all I really know and care about hockey ... other than the Blackhawks have a couple of Canadian hotties on the team )

I will simply say that I enjoyed the time, the witty repartee, the sarcasm.

Oh, really.
