Twins Video
1. The Tigers -- I realize that 96% of you agree with every single word I say. So I know that my pre-season thoughts on the Tigers are going to be controversial with the 4% who occasionally find my thoughts quirky and more applicable to the discussion of banana's. Controversy be damned... Here goes. Despite losing Scherzer and Porcello... I felt going into this season that the Tigers were going to be stronger this year and defense is why. Getting Iglasias back at SS and adding Cespedes and Gose to that outfield is a game changer... It balances out the team... It addresses holes that were there in years past. I also understand that the team is now eating at the same restaurants together. They formed singing groups and are practicing harmony and performing at old folks homes (Chief's House for example). They are watching over each other's children and wife swapping for unity. This is going to make them very hard to beat.
2. Excitement in Michigan -- I think the people of Michigan are very excited about this team. In a way... That's Good... because the people of Michigan need something to get excited about. I have no idea why anyone would want to live in Michigan. The State really needs to start recruiting talented people and it looks like the state is rebounding in that department. There are many famous people from Michigan... There's Umm... Bob Seger... and... Grand Funk Railroad... Tim Allen... President Ford... Umm... Some other people... Mike Modano. But... all those people have left the state. Seger... Grand Funk... Tim Allen I believe all reside in California... President Ford is in Heaven so he left the state. Dyersville Iowa is where he and Betty are I believe. The Tigers are good for the state... All those hard working Americans that built my Dodge Dart... Oops... No that was built in Illinois. Sorry... Never mind.
3. David Price -- David Price is on the mound tonight... The big question... What will be the Price for Price when he hits Free Agency? Bob Barker... or Drew Carey... David Price come on down. You're the next contestant on...
One thing is for sure... He's going to be very expensive. Here are some other things that are very expensive.
Indoor Pools -- It turns out that they cost a lot. Almost as much as you paid for your entire house. If you are serious about such things... You may want to consider running through the sprinkler instead. Or... You know what just Flood your Basement. That seems reasonable.
Lobster -- It always says Market Price and the Market Price is?... I don't know what Market is driving it up. I like Lobster but not enough to take out a loan to have it. There is something tasty about a creature that eats dead stuff off the bottom of the ocean.
Medication -- Yeah... You need Medicine to take care of that giant thing growing on your eyeball. Bring your wallet until it goes generic.
Hockey -- Hockey is very expensive... and you don't always get to keep your teeth either.
The Crap that the Top Models wear walking down that Runway -- The Designers are rich.. The Models are rich... Yet... You can't help wonder who is actually buying this stuff. You don't see a lot of ladies walking around in a dress made of an actual net that they use to trap bears. They don't wear this stuff at the PTA meetings I've been to and I haven't found any of these products at K-Mart.
Puppies -- Go to a shelter and get yourself a Puppy. It's at least $200 Bucks... Go ahead and try to get a purebred from a breeder... You'll drop a thousand easy... Meanwhile... Puppies are getting put to sleep every day because they can't find homes for them. Whatever happened to the big box of puppies with a sign that says "Free". That works... It's exactly how Ash met his wife. He was in Box with a sign that says "Free".
Wallets -- A really nice wallet can be costly. So you buy it and have nothing to keep in it.
4. Winning the Series -- The Twins are on a nice roll... Winning another Series this weekend. After the start they had... If they keep doing that... They will be playing .500 ball by July. Go Twins
5. Cooking -- I don't have a lot of experience preparing food but I learned something yesterday. The Smoke Detector in the house will tell you when its done. Also... If something is pecking itself out of the egg you were going to use... You'll have to be a little more creative with The Eggs Benedict. I also learned that most food can't be kept longer than the lifespan of a Hamster... So I now keep a Hamster in the fridge to stay on top of this.
