Haven't heard a thing.

Uh, in our household that would pretty much take up every weekend. And by the time we got finished, it would be time to start again.

At my age, it's best one has clothes on at all times so as to not offend anything, sentient or non -sentient.

Hey, Whine Line! BIG BIG FAN HERE AND YOU DUDES LIKE TOTALLY TOTALLY ROCK!!! Speaking of rockin' do you think Arcia will rock the same hairstyle with his new team? For that matter, do you think Arcia will get a new team? As for the Plouffester and his three game streak, wow, that should really move the old trade-value dial. Especially if a contending team is desperate. Are there any desperate contenders on the horizon? Speaking of Sano, think there might be a "Sano" rule? As in "Sano blocking 3B?" Well, that's all I got. KEEP ON ROCKIN' DUDES!! YEARGGGHHHHHH!!!

Well, sad to say, if you've got any talent at all for that sort of thing, you're almost better to do it yourself, because it's so difficult to find a decent contractor these days. Anyway, it really does sound like a fun project. I know I'd have enjoyed it.

I think you meant "o' wise@** one!"

Eh, jump in, tear it apart, screw it up, spend twice as much on a contractor to fix it than you would have otherwise. It's the American DIY way!

While true, it's an excuse to "sample" the cookie dough extensively.

1. Cleaning out closets. As reported in other threads, I've been doing some work around my condo ... new flooring in the kitchen and entry-way ... closet 1; new carpeting in the bedrooms, closets 2 and 3. All good-sized and all being used in an efficient manner ... or so I thought. Once I started moving stuff out to accommodate the new flooring, I realized the 'out of sight, out of mind' principle had taken hold, in a not-so-efficient manner. Two and half FULL carloads to Salvation Army later, I feel better, lighter and relieved! (I have a storage locker in another part of my building I don't want to think about yet, but it will come. ------------------------------------------------------ My wife and I tend to clean stuff out of the closets on a regular basis, yet, we never seem to be able to keep up. I think we have closet gnomes that grab stuff other people have thrown away and which the gnomes then put it in our closets. Or, we're going to wind up on tv as "Hoarders: The Intervention."

If the cookie dough doesn't taste good, neither will the cookies.

Yeah, me too.

He gets a pass because of the last name: "Greinke."

Ah, I thought I saw that it was 96. Either way, the win is in the bag.

Mollie just pulled Santana after 96 pitches. Your guess is as good as mine. I see I was a bit late with this post. And wrong. Mostly wrong.

It became obvious Plouffe was safe when the replay showed McCann's glove going up in a futile attempt to tag Plouffe.

Kepler batting ahead of Suzuki? What kind of crazy alternate Twins universe have we entered?

Heresy!

You have your methods, I have mine.

The problem has not been hittable opposing pitchers. It's been that Twins pitchers are even more hittable.

Zach Jones is not a proper name for a pitcher. Zach's are supposed to be middle infielders.

Hey, be nice to us older guys. We need our morning, mid-morning, afternoon, mid-afternoon and evening naps. How can we sleep properly without being properly prepared? Speaking of which, I see it's time.

shoot, as a fellow old curmudgeon, I figured you, of all people, would understand.

I was originally going to put up this somewhat obscure band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIFkILadNnQ But, in the end, Mr. Benson won out.
