Optimism thy name is Reginald "Jerry" Kill*

Can we start to talk about Gopher football? I mean is that reasonable at this point? Are we gonna say that Jerry Kill is the most optimistic thing on the Minnesota sports frontier? I think we are.





* I couldn't find his real name anywhere. Any help?

Twins, FTLOSBW both suck and blow

Lack of enthusiasm does not go unnoticed.

RIP: Killer

What, no mention? Come on, the first Twins "super star" before there were "super stars"? Sure, he played in a different era but he was our father's Kirby (minus the world series rings and the affairs.)

573 dingers. Sweet Jesus.

R.I.P Boogeyman - Long Live the Goon

This is sad.

He was a fan favorite at the X.

Here is in all his glory



P.S. Makes you not think about losing 9 to 3 in 11, doesn't it? Oops, sorry.

Happy Birthday LOSBW!!!

A little Birthday Shout Out to the LOSBW.

I think that's BG's angelic voice in the background.

153 great years. I say here's to a Superbowl Championship before the bicentennial!

Finally, some good news?

Sounds like this is not a "binding" agreement, and that it could go POOF in 13 days, but I'm just happy there has finally been some action on the issue. Also, it's fun to see some competition for the right to build this new potential stadium. I'm not exactly sure where Arden Hills is, to be honest, but it's not San Antonio or L.A., which is the important thing. I just hope Dayton actually spent some time drumming up the votes he's going to need to kick in the State's portion of the bill, because it sounds like Ramsey county is ready to roll.

Oh, and Minneapolis is #1 in something (moderately NSFW, but generally clean, since it's from the Daily Show):

FTLOSBW Stadium and convention Center? That's got a Nice Ring. So, Who's In?

OK fellas, enough talk. It's time to put up. If Hennepin County wants to be a bunch of losers, than they should go to russia. I'm an American. I'm a winner. It's time to get our mean on FTLOSBW, and pony up. If we knock Jan's neighborhood down, we can put the stadium right there. That Turkey can still live there.

The Vikings are willing to put up 40%. Way to go Zygi. I think that's actually pretty good.

Between us, that means we only need (and I'm not a math guy) about another 60 billion dollars. So, I know some of you are business guys and some of you have worked for companies that have successfully disintegrated due to financial incompetence and sheer irresponsibility, even criminal negligence. So, what's the plan? Let's pony up and buy this thing. I'm getting sick of the naysaying. For those of you wondering how this is possible, I say "Get out of the can't do club, and join the can do club." For those of you who aren't, I say "Lies Make Baby Jesus Cry."

I'll start out - I've got a fifty dollar bill burning a hole in my pocket. Who's next?

RTS - sell some of your daughters signed Joe Mauer MVP cards and get on the train. She needs to learn to live with disappointment.

They Suck
