no way in hell do I make that trade. Favre killed his team the last 6 years in a row…it’s you media types who’ve put him on a false pedestal. and besides, CT is a NFL starting quality RB and will get a lot of necessary touches.

Like Favre doesn’t have more drama in his pinky than the whole Fringe combined.

I’d take Favre for CT and a second rounder.

Then throw in Jack Morris, who played at Highland Park H.S. a few years later. He only pitched the greatest game 7 in world series history.

Leigha, I sorry! You know, I was there at many of the early Ministry shows with Matt and Leah and Mike, and all those exciting good times at the Bowl and with aluminum-foil space helmets and stuff I can’t hardly even rememeber. I was there, doing a couple of stints as a Fringe reviewer back in the day, putting in my time, loving the art, supporting the art, fighting the good fight. I’ve watched your career blossom, read testimonials by women from Canada, listened as people raved…

In a way, I’m totally there for you, and for Robin and all the other theatrical up-and-comers. And for art and goodness and the future of the culture and so on.

But, at some point, it just happens that one grows up, gains perspective, gets tired of the constant struggle, and just needs a little distance and perspective. And, yes, some peace and calm. And then, before one know it, one’s writing random nonsense on mnspeak about sports with people one doesn’t even really know. It’s true, I have no idea who these people are, but yet there I am, writing this stuff for reasons I don’t know…

I have no idea how any of this has come to be, but it just has. I am so terribly sorry. I will try to be better, I promise!

Break a leg!

And if Livan Hernandez makes a start in the major leagues before Fransisco Liriano does, I’m going apesh*t.

David, very good point. Excellent point, actually. No wonder Liriano is champing at the bit down in Rochester…

I played legion ball against Dave Winfield and his brother Steve. Everyone was in agreement that 1) I was the next Zoilo Versailles, and 2) Winfield was destined for stardom, perhaps even the hall of fame. Steve Winfield, that is.

Great story, Maz. I met a local St. Paulite who played ball around the same time. He said Paul Molitor also played city ball then too, along with the Winfields. Can you imagine? Two local future hall-of-fame-bound rugrats playing scrappy St. Paul city ball at the same time. Woulda been a great time to be playing here. Do you have any other stories, Maz?
Me, I played ball in So Cal a few years behind a couple of future major leaguers (most notably Mark McGwire, but also Sid Monge and Frank Pastore). And I went to college with Jeff Kent. None of em are Hall of Famers tho… (At least not yet…)
