Lives, lived. It's all a matter of tenses.

Experienced both in MN. Well rounded when it comes to weather disasters. Out here, it's earthquakes and we're well overdue for a big one.

There was a memorable time when the kids and I were living on the third floor of an apartment building and a wall of green water came horizontally at the living room window. No real basement, so, I moved the kids into the hallway. After the storm, about a 100 trees were down less than a mile from where we lived.

Depending on where you live, a hurricane kit consists of: a full tank of gasoline so you can run away and plywood for the windows.

No, I think Mr. Morris is a sadist. He liked breaking bats in 30 degree weather. I suspect breaking a bat in 30 degree weather is hard on the hands.

Well, if the sirens go off, pay attention. I was living in Edina not from from 50th and France when a tornado rearranged a few facades on 50th and France and tossed the band shell at Lake Harriet into Lake Harriet.

FYI, CB cleaned it up a bit.

Think bear and Pope.

I don't know exactly what you're trying to say. Maybe you could clarify?

What's bizarre about the bases loaded incompetence of the Twins is that things should regress to the mean at some point. Yet, the lack of scoring continues. Of course, I would imagine opposing teams are well aware of the fact they're playing with fire.

Maybe we can beat dead gophers?

The Twins are not only on a record pace for losses, they're on a record pace for bases loaded futility.

Well, my day has been going along well.. Time to turn on the game and see if I can ruin my day.

Maybe you've struck on the purpose of the Twins this year? Minnesota Twins: They make bad teams look good!

When cave painting arrived on the scene, Chief's generation thought it was shockingly avant-garde and not suitable for the youngsters.

5. I was going to go back to the generation that actually listened to "My Generation" when it first hit the charts, but this is getting a little weird, even for a game thread. So, for this last thought, think about how the brain is the most wonderful organ in your body. And then think about who's telling you that. Weather: Mostly sunny, with a high near 79. West wind 10 to 15 mph. ___________________________________________________________ Pfft, you kids think you invented weird. Have you really truly explored the weirdness that was Sixties fashion? How about shag carpeting? Carpet that was so long it could not be determined if one should use a vacuum or a rake to keep it neat and tidy.

Molitor noticed that Plouffe cannot hit this particular pitcher? I only toss it out there because Molitor played Suzuki against a left-handed pitcher that was allowing left-handed hitters to hit over .300. Yes, it's safe to say I'm not overly impressed with Molitors managerial style.

No idea, but I think eliminating throwing the ball for an intentional walk is foolish.

I remember the first time I saw a wild pitch during an intentional walk..it was then I realized why pitchers have to throw the ball rather than just awarding the base.

Actually, if I want to feel better about my looks, I just stand next to "People of Walmart." I suspect, though I've not proven, that I probably win in the eloquence and charm department also.

My favorite question: If the universe is expanding, what is it expanding in to?

Not me. Think "Elephant Man" only without the looks, charm or eloquence.

It would be odder still if a game thread didn't take an odd turn.

I was thinking Venn Diagram.

Always is your normal every day Twins fan. Just what are you implying?
