  2. 1. Good to hear from trish, I thought she was dead.

    Joe Mauer for the amazingly busy Dr.Don who is spending lots of my Company’s money this week. By the time I am done with these claims, I will spend close to $1 Million.

    And I am on a tight budget.

    Damn it is fun spending someone else’s money!!!!!!

    • At least you sound better today. The other day the prospect of having to spend that much money — even someone else’s — sounded like it would be a real bummer for you.

  3. Leave some of it in the fields, Don. Maybe it’ll blow my way. THOME time for me.

  4. I’ll take Cuddy.

  44. Vs. LH Huff for game 1 today. Plouffe for me. Backup is Valencia.

  45. I got back home about midnight last night, long frikking weekend but I sure enjoyed TF. Ate my first Murray’s Steak Sandwich. Add in a couple of the walleye fingers that my daughter could not finish which were also excellent. Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and advice at TF in regards to what to drink and to stay cool. We were lucky, our seats were under the overhang on the 3rd base side, so we had shade, but damn, hot is still hot. For your information, I had 1 beer, 1 lemonade, 3 waters, and 0 cigarettes. I done good. Thome’s blast was horrendous.

    By the way, I am picking Delmonster the Youngen for today’s first game.

    But I am now home, finishing up the paperwork, (In my AC chat room… :) )and will close out the claims tomorrow.

    It is so fucking hot, it is melting the nuts off the steel bridge that connects the main drag between Moorhead and Fargo.

    .

  56. After not feeling the best at work.. I have deiced that I shouldn’t go out in this heat and go to TF tonight.. as of right now its 96, but feels like 122 here.. no JOKE! 122!!

    • ben also texted before the game, when I was on the road, that he wants trish’s new boyfriend, Valencia.
