April 24, 201610 yr I've been to Chicago.. I seem to recall there being a lot of people. I wound up walking around on the top of a hotel roof during that trip. Yes, alcohol was involved. Yeah, and it's my sole day off and I'm inside, away from the masses, which is going to get really bad this week because of the NFL draft happening a 1/2 mile from my home. If there's anything worse than a lot of people, it's a lot of out of town tourist people.
April 24, 201610 yr That's not to say there isn't some yelling and cursing going on ... that's usually been my major contribution when I'm not too busy to join in ... ChiTown has some sailor in her.
April 24, 201610 yr ChiTown has some sailor in her. And I earned that honestly from driving through Chicago traffic ... Heh.
April 24, 201610 yr Nah, just the occasional rattlesnake, coyote and exploding meth lab.Yikes. I hate snakes.
April 24, 201610 yr BTW I Apologize... I've fallen behind for no reason at all. Park now has hit a home run in every 11.25 AB's.
April 24, 201610 yr Nah, just the occasional rattlesnake, coyote and exploding meth lab.Oh, and btw, we have coyotes, too. Yes, IN the city. Notices get posted from time to time about being careful walking small dogs in the early mornings.
April 24, 201610 yr Oh, and btw, we have coyotes, too. Yes, IN the city. Notices get posted from time to time about being careful walking small dogs in the early mornings.Pfft, easy to correct, get bigger dogs, like a Great Pyrenees. The Great Pyr eats coyotes for lunch.
April 24, 201610 yr 0 warning points...so far Btw, where are you at? What do you do when you aren't Twins-talking? I'm in ChiTown, I'm a musician, when I'm not working and Twins-talking, I'm working on home decor projects, playing tennis and shoe shopping.
April 24, 201610 yr Pfft, easy to correct, get bigger dogs, like a Great Pyrenees. The Great Pyr eats coyotes for lunch.Right, get one of those beautiful animals, and force him to live in a condo. No.
April 24, 201610 yr Sano is looking versatile. Right field, third base. What's next? Short? (Sano at short would be awesome)

April 24, 201610 yr And I earned that honestly from driving through Chicago traffic ... Heh. My factory installed Garmin in my Dodge Dart doesn't have an avoid tolls feature. So... I trudged my way through the city... Time after Time. (Yeah I know... Should have gotten that I-Pass Thing). Anyway... When I drove my wife's Pacifica because I had more room to bring some stuff back from Grand Rapids. I had to use her Tom-Tom and that had an avoid Toll Feature and... Wow was that slick... No Traffic Jams... No Tolls and it only cost me like a half hour in my estimation.
April 24, 201610 yr It would be interesting to see the Twins pitchers, against the Twins batters. Would our SO rate go up, or go down? The correct answer to this question is obviously "Yes."
April 24, 201610 yr Right, get one of those beautiful animals, and force him to live in a condo. No. You got a big window to look out and Piano Keys to slobber on. I think it would work real well.

Yeah, but with an iPass thingie, you would've saved yourself 2 hours.
April 24, 201610 yr I think it's time to visit the Museum of Science and Industry again. Been too many years. Edited April 24, 201610 yr by Craig Arko
April 24, 201610 yr Sano is looking versatile. Right field, third base. What's next? Short? (Sano at short would be awesome) As President of the "Baseball Player Positional Flexibility" Club I'm all for it and I like the way you think.
April 24, 201610 yr Yeah, but with an iPass thingie, you would've saved yourself 2 hours. But you have to factor in the jams.
April 24, 201610 yr Yeah, but with an iPass thingie, you would've saved yourself 2 hours.In Chicago traffic? Really?
April 24, 201610 yr Btw, where are you at? What do you do when you aren't Twins-talking? I'm in ChiTown, I'm a musician, when I'm not working and Twins-talking, I'm working on home decor projects, playing tennis and shoe shopping.I'm in PA...and the old term would be that I'm a "groundskeeper", but we prefer "sports turf manager" worked about 8 years in the Yankees minor league system and now I'm in charge at a university.
April 24, 201610 yr I think it's time to visit the Museum of Science and Industry again. Been too many years.I'm hoping the Lucas Museum gets built. Not sure why there is opposition to it. That would be a freaking awesome addition to my neighborhood.
April 24, 201610 yr As President of the "Baseball Player Positional Flexibility" Club I'm all for it and I like the way you think. Next year spring training.
April 24, 201610 yr Well, my chores await ... I need to completely reorganize my kitchen now that I have a couple more cupboards to work with. And I need to wash a boatload of fine crystal to go in the new display cabinets.image.jpegI added those two sets of cabinets on the sides of the pass through and redid all the lighting. For a tiny condo kitchen, I like the outcome. I like the secret door.
April 24, 201610 yr In Chicago traffic? Really?Well, I don't really drive all that much ... don't need to. But traffic is a pita in the summer in my neighborhood when some big event in Grant Park ... Well, **** ... those catches take some steam out of it.
April 24, 201610 yr I'm in PA...and the old term would be that I'm a "groundskeeper", but we prefer "sports turf manager" worked about 8 years in the Yankees minor league system and now I'm in charge at a university. Where in PA?
April 24, 201610 yr In honor of National Recycled Jokes Day... A leather-wearing, tat-sporting biker walks into a bar carrying jumper cables. "Get me a bottle of Jack!" he barks. Bartender tells him, "Hey, I'll get it for ya, but don't be startin' anything." Edited April 24, 201610 yr by Circus Boy
April 24, 201610 yr I'm hoping the Lucas Museum gets built. Not sure why there is opposition to it. That would be a freaking awesome addition to my neighborhood.Seriously? Lucas? You do know the Brits have a running joke about Lucas Electrics, right? Everyone who owns or has owned a British car has not so fond memories of their electrical systems. Of course, it is Chicago, so, I suppose anything is possible.
April 24, 201610 yr Nice stroke by Park... Even Better Catch by Van Dekker. BTW... Park has now hit a homer in every 11.5 AB's.
