Here's something to consider...In 1991 Chuck Knoblauch was rookie of the year. Arraez is a rookie this year. Both had similar seasons (although Chuck played more games). We won the World Series in 1991. I think the similarities are interesting.

 

My analysis: Twins win the World Series this year.

 

Just a hunch.

Twinsporto... you from Duluth?

There's a major distributor in Wilkes-Barre that has all those 60s/70s beers. Arrow Beer Distributing. Pallets of Schmidt, Stroh's, Shaffer, maybe some Schlitz, etc...

I can find Hamm's almost anywhere in Indianapolis, but not on tap.

My older brother liked Almond Roca, so my Mom figured it was his "thing," so every Christmas there was a tub of it under the tree.  This usually counted as his birthday present, as he was a Christmas baby.

 

Later, we had a fiery Basque guy drive truck for us during sugar beet harvest.  His name was Tony Rocca, so of course we called him Tony "Almond" Rocca.

 

My brother was also a Dallas Cowboys fan, so the transition from Tony Rocca to Tony Romo was relatively seamless.

 

Finally, my brother moved to South Carolina a few years ago, as a crop insurance guy.  I haven't looked, but I'm assuming that one of those Tropical Storms circling out there in the oceans has to be named Tropical Storm Sergio.

 

There.  Game thread conquered.  Before I hit post, I will now check to see what has happened in the game, while I was taking that stroll down memory lane...

 

...I'm back.  Apparently, Ryan LaMarre is playing for the Twins, and hitting .300.  He looks more like a Tony Rocca, to me.

Yup nicely done

Lol oh man I’ve seen the stroh’s and shaffer’s and couldn’t believe people still buy it. If you want cheap halfway decent local beer, buy Stegmaier (also known as the lion) beers. I’m getting tanked on their Oktoberfest right now. Have it on tap at my house right now

College buddies drank Lion's Head. Tastes like bananas. Never cared for it, personally.

Grain Belt? 

 

Aggie, if we win the WS this year please send me some Yuengling. I'll PM you my address.  Thanks!

It’s everywhere here. Every bar and every distributor. Bottle and draft. It’s good enough if you’re at a dive

me too! Only manufacturing management which is basically applied stats for dummies... but not dairy farming!

Thing is, I greatly value the skills and work ethic I learned growing up there, but apparently I didn’t value it enough to give my own kids those opportunities.
