Can't be more predictable than yankees.
Enh, at least some good came out of it. Eventually.
If Hardy can find his form from two years ago it will be a fantastic trade. Go-go was at best a defensive center fielder. If he could have learne...
I agree. The Yankees are boringly predictable.
This is why the Twins are the Twins and the Yankees are the Yankees. Let's see, should we go for Hardy or Teixera? Hmmm.
I tink peraps it is te curc of Crist, Marybet414.
If I can c(h)ime in...I left the 'H' behind years ago and indeed there is no better way. The church of Crist... Bless you all.
I like the guy, but I have to admit he was a bit disappointing.
Just about every time we went to a game at the dome, you'd hear "fans" (quote marks emphasized) trashing GoGo loudly, which made me want to stand ...

He doesn’t even mention where to buy coke. I guess you have to buy the book for that.

I’m sort of amazed that they managed to work in the word “necklace” twice without ever referring to jewelery. (”but there is a strollable necklace of stores along Grand Avenue”, “A Necklace of Blue”)

Funny how “Spoonbridge & Cherry” has become the unofficial photo icon of Minnesota.
10:32 am
Bob: annoying, rather. We all know this is going to devolve into the love/hate on that fountain.
Compared with Seattle, we have disposable pop art, rather than paleofuturistic icons like the Space Needle and a monorail.

As in many urban areas, the ineffable epicenter of cool migrates on a schedule known only to a select few. In Minneapolis, the indigenous tribe of artists, musicians and wannabees have forsaken Uptown for Northeast
Understatement!

It could be worse. We could have permanent poop art.
I would also argue that Don Shelby is a paleofuturistic icon.

Bob gets a point for that one.
11:19 am
that’s a decent way to spend 36 hours in Minneapolis — though Carr’s alternate guide would be an interesting read too.

I think of Don as more of a Cliff Clavin who’ll soon be wheeled into the studios for sweeps. But my question is: Where’s the paragraph touting a ‘well worth the time’ rural excursion? Every column on MN must have one to be taken seriously. Is it just me, and I don’t mean to be a dick, or does this one comes of as a series of press-releases by way of the Greater Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce? Please NY’ers, visit our Mini-Apple! @

I am really shocked at the fact of them mentioning “Hidden Beach” – most of our own population doesn’t even know how to get there.
must know who his tour guide was and make him disappear …

Plus, they ordered the “Hot Polack” mit kraut at the 331 — the best thing on their limited menu. Insider tip: if you buy one before 6 p.m. M-F, they are $1, not the usual $4.

In a related story, this was in today’s Strib. I know we rightfully rag on the Strib’s headlines. But I appreciated this one.

I usually describe him as “imagine Ted Baxter, with all his quirks, as a member of Mensa…”
1:13 pm
Ted Baxter was before my interest in television arrived, but I just Wiki’ed him:
“To give Knight’s character a more “well rounded” existence, the show paired him with Georgette, played by Georgia Engel, who brought out some of the more vulnerable aspects of Ted Baxter”
All of that sizzling repport w/ the married anchors must be his Georgette.
3:56 pm
Ted Baxter never had a gopher in his pants named Carlos, or a compass tattoo on his backside, or a penthouse studio to do his radio gig at the teevee station.

The author is this David Carr. He’d know MSP inside and out (or at least still have the sources here to give it to him straight).
8:55 pm
I like Carr, but given that he hasn’t imbibed here in a good long time, someone with an intact liver should have written this.
