Well ... to be honest, I don't get a chance to read all the game threads through to compare properly ... oh blah .. there goes my signal ... crap EDIT: how come you can say crap here and not ****? i mean, technically, it's the same thing.

heh ... you guys are funny tonight.

I don't disagree with that, either. But I do think a change is necessary. I'm not on the 'worst manager ever' bandwagon, but I think his era is coming to a close, one way or another. It's just time. And the fact that he hasn't been extended already I think is a sign. My guess ... why give the job to someone new in a year when they knew it was still gonna be bad. So when they turn the corner (hopefully next year) it's with fresh skills. I think it's his last year unless lightning strikes.

Settin' yourself up for some big hurt, aren't you? heh. Okay ... worse would be ... let's say they do get rid of Gardy ... and then give the job to .... <wait for it> .... Ulger! imo, that would be worse. But if they actually do fire Gardy, I'd hope it's a sign they have more sense than that.

I'll be heading to the game on July 1st as I'll be passing through town on that day (and that day only). While I've been to Hammond Stadium many, MANY times, only for ST and not in the heat/humidity of the Florida summer. Is sitting up high 'cooler' (for potential of possible breeze) or does it really make no difference? What does parking cost in the summer? I would suppose just being a single there would be no trouble walking up and getting a ticket ... Thanks.

Not that I don't agree, but will the Twins do it? I just don't think they will.

heh ... as I said ... I couldn't relate. That's an experience I have never had and never will, thanks to not having that particular 'achilles heel' anatomy.

I couldn't really tell ... where exactly did that hit him? If it's where I think, I can't relate.

But isn't this pretty much what we expected before the season started? I recall many saying they'd be 'happy' if the Twins finished .500. While watching some of these games is NOT fun (an understatement) did any of you truly, really, in general, expect better?

I have unfortunate timing as to when I tune into a game.

Finally had a minute to sit down and tune into the game. Not a good minute.

Pfft ... he already knows I'd vote for him if he ran for office despite his skeletons ... even though I'm a bleeding heart. I just think he's pretty fair.

Actually, he has. As a moderator/administrator of this site, and dealing with all the variant personalities and discussions, I think he's led a pretty good example of being fair and open-minded, and given quite a bit of leeway when others wanted to take a more 'prudish' route. Not that he needs me to speak for him, just saying, from one who reads quite a bit here.

Case in point ... the 'new' Soldier Field, which is 'across the street' from me. Thankfully I face the other way.

'Should' being the operative word.

This is what I would guess. But if not him, who?

Am I allowed to say 'Go Blackhawks!' in here?

okay, that was a couple of interesting outs.

heh ... i'm an old church-lady school marm <nods> ... I just happen to know French

Or words ... three, to be exact.

Menage a trois ... the various accents are missing, but that is basically what you are looking for ... oui?

I, too, am an April baby, but earlier ... the 11th. And yes, I do remember snow on my birthday, but no, not this continued stuff you guys are getting. Mostly I remember a lot of nice Spring days, not winter revisited. But one thing I do remember ... getting one of the worst sunburns in my life on my birthday.

I traveled (by air) from Chicago to see a game the first year the stadium was opened. It was the only rainout they had that year. The game was rescheduled for the next day but, unfortunately, because of my work schedule, I couldn't stay for it. I did, however, get to see and walk around inside the park before I had to leave, thanks to friends with amazing connections. I don't regret the money spent and not seeing the game. I knew the risks. And I'd do it again.

Well, don't send it my way! I had the top down on my Mini today in Chicago.

Just do it.
