The Legacy of David Kahn
I just did this in an e-mail to the other two yahoos on this site and it seemed like too much work to just lose in the ether. Good: + Drafting and signing Rubio (eventually) + Hiring Adelman + Signing Ridnour + Signing Pek (although, to be fair, he was drafted by McHale) Bad: +…

Below is a list of people who I\’d rather hear broadcast a baseball game than Fox Sports North\’s dynamic duo: Cory Provus and Tom Kelly Roy Smalley and Jack Morris…

*URG*. It happened again. A co-worker just called me \”Wayne.\” It\’s understandable in that it\’s his first week on the jov. But still. Being called Wayne may be my biggest pet peeve. I\’m not exactly sure on the reason. It\’s probably because I knew two Waynes growing up, and neither is a person to whom…

(Disrep)Air Jordan
As I walked through the skyways just now, I noticed three people sporting backpacks emblazoned with the following logo: In case you just arrived here from… well, the moon, that\’s Nike\’s Michael Jordan logo. (Technically, this is supposed to be referred to as \”Jumpman.\” I\’ve never heard anyone actually use that term.) The Jordan silhouette…

I picked up my car phone to perpetrate like I was talking
To be a luddite, or not to be a luddite? That\’s my question. While not opposed to technology– that would be just silly– I certainly value boundaries, both in costs and in distractions. So, low-tech or high-tech? Which is nobler? I\’m blathering, naturally, about the stuff in my pockets. Right now, I have: 1) a…

The Baseball Rules
An e-mail discussion about the wave (spurred on by this post) with the other SP yahoos reminded me of a list I compiled for sparklegirl several years back before a Twins game. She was wondering about behavior expectations at a baseball game, and, being a dork, I came up with a list. From what I…

50 Worst Minnesota Twins Of All-Time
The team here at SP started this list last year, but in classic SP style we never quite finished. With how bad the Twins are doing this year, it seems like it was kismit that we\’d wait until now to publish. Without further ado…enjoy.
