Monday Notes

By AH! staff

  • Talks are again heating up for Kevin Garnett. I think the consensus is that this would be a good thing for the Wolves future. We wish KG well.
  • The Twins took two of three from the Racially Insensitive Cartoons this weekend. Matt Garza looked good. And Santana looks like he'll again build a second half surge into a Cy Young award (good or bad for the Twins?)
  • Taking two of three this weekend prompted AH! contributor TwinsWin83 to send me a text message saying that he believes the Twins can come back from seven games.
  • Cracked.com is a pretty decent website. It has good pop culture content presented in an ADD-friendly way. This list of celebrity's-on-drugs-on-TV is funny.
  • On MPR this morning, some elitist jackass was saying how user-generated content, blogs and the overall democratization of the Internet is killing America. He says soon we won't have mass media and we'll be relying on no-talent hacks with no professional background to get our news and opinions. He's just an egotist, worried about his job and his industry. He gives no credit to the commoners.
  • Two things that grind my gears: How phones don't include fucking swear words in their dictionary's when using T9 texting. Who the fuck are they, the moral police? Also, it grinds my gears how nicknames these days mostly are just the first letter of the first name and the first syllable of the last name. J-Lo, C-Webb, T-Hunt and bunches of others that I cannot think of right now. They couldn't think of a good one for Andy Roddick so they just call him A-Rod. There's already an A-Rod. They've started to call Purple QB Tavaris Jackson this nickname: T-Jack. Clever.

  • The new stadium Ground Breaking Ceremony is set for Thursday. It should be fun. Some AH! contributors plan on attending and hopefully putting a recap of events up for Friday. Anyone want to come along?

Picture of the Day - I would pay to attend this concert:

What's up with the stadium cam ? It looks exactly the same today as it did two weeks ago. Is the problem with the cam or has there really been zero progress at the ball park site?

Start planting the outfield grass, already!

Wouldn't ut be cool if, as part of the groundbreaking ceremony, Blyleven grooved a curveball to Hrbek and he smashed it onto the roof of the Target Center?

The groundbreaking will be a lot of fun. Count me in. If there are any more details on where you're meeting and what time, let me know.

I love K.G. but I am kind of excited for our new team if the deal goes through. (as excited as I can get for the NBA)

I hate elitists.

Objects in your mirror are closer than they apear!!! Twins are commin! we're commin!
everytime we win two or three games in a row I am going to tell everyone that we're comming. If we lose two in a row I am going to tell everyone we're done and start thinking about next year.

i say we are in it til we are mathematically eliminated. I even thought of getting a "Twins Win in 2007" tattoo this week. if it came true, it would be the greatest tattoo of all time.

good post "M-HA"

Tell me when you guys are going to the groundbreak and I'lll see if I can get it off.

Best part about the garnett traade is we get a bunch of expiring contracts. Wolves biggest problem is salary cap hell and if guys like Jefferson, Green, Gomes and Co. do great, awesome, we'll actually be able to sign them to contract extensions. And if they suck, we aren't stuck with paying them loads of money for the next 4 years, thus allowing us to buy a good free agent or two. Wolves will be the worst team in the league next season, which will help our chances in landing a top pick.

I am very pleased that the rebuilding process has finally started.

the plan for the groundbreaking is to meet at Bresnahans place in uptown around 5:30 and then bike to the ceremony. so probably be down at the site from like 6:15 to 8 or so?

haasertime said...

scratch that. postponed. we'll put something together as we hear when it will be rescheduled.
