I think most of the choices make sense. (I think Morneau will soon pass Hrbek as a Twin, but that does not matter for this team.) But you can't leave Nathan...
What if the wind had blown the ball and the fielder had to made a diving catch and the runner scored because the fielder was not able to recover in time to...
Does anybody else think the AL All Stars are more clearcut this season than just about any time they can remember? Even if the close votes at first base and...
Agreed, although I voted for Bartlett over Jeter. He does have approximately 80 less at-bats, but has been more productive offensively, and I think he's...
I don't have the figures in front of me but Brunansky must have clearly outdistanced Gladden in HRs and RBIs for the Twins. I don't have any problem with...
... I'm sure Gladden is/got votes because he's still visible (or hearable) on radio. For the third starter, Blyleven was the leader in fan voting for probably...
Shortstop is a tough call. Bartlett has clearly been the much better player this season, but Jeter is the established star and has 100 more plate appearnces,...
... Barry Fritz talked to Bob Rosenberg, who said he called Elias and was told to charge Theriot for an error for the advancement. There was no other...
Friday night during the game, Reusse said to me, "Why don't you and Sid kiss and make up so that he'll come back up and sit by you?" Sid used to sit next to...
So it's worth $5 per game to Reusse to get Sid AWAY from him? You're missing the real value here of a kiss-and-make-up. You could make a fortune for some...
I'm reminded of the time I was sitting in the press box next to Reusse and Sid at the Micron PC. com. Bowl at Pro Player Stadium, Dec. 28, 2000 (Gophers vs. NC...
Today's New York Times has an item in the sporting page "Spotlight" feature about baseball's "unwritten rules." Other than an unfortunate reference to a Ross...
... For me, the combination of "unwritten rules" and the Anti-Christ of Information was more of a turn off than the post about being a groper or gropee of Sid...
BTW, even if it wasn't evident, there was a bit of tongue-in-cheek (no pun intended with anything related to Sid) in each of my last two posts, and my...
Absolutely no offense taken. But to paraphrase the John Hancock character in 1776 (the play and film), "I'm still the only one who's signed the damn thing." ...
Art made me wonder how many lines from 1776 we could apply to sports. John Adams "I'm obnoxious and disliked, that cannot be denied." (So many choices, but...
"It's a medicinal fact that rum gets a man's heart started in the morning. I'm surprised you didn't know that." My favorite line.--art ... From: "Alan R....

Does anyone know which Negro Leaguers might be buried at this cemetery? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090709/ap_on_re_us/us_illinois_cemetery_desecration art...
Jimmie Crutchfield, Elwood "Bingo" DeMoss, John Donaldson, and Ted Trent were the Negro League graves we visited when we were there a few years ago. There are...
We have our bi-monthly breakfast this Saturday, July 11 at Bakers Square in Richfield (just west of Xerxes on 66th Street, near Southdale). Hope you all can...
Today's "final jeopardy" category was Music Words and the answer was "Before it became a musical term in the early 20th century, this word was baseball slang...
This probably doesn't answer the question (or, for Jeopardy, question the answer), but SABR member Dave Baldwin, who pitched in the majors in the 1970s and...
