Smell the Turf Again One More Time For the Last Time
HI EVERYBODY.
We're back. Is everything the same as we left it? Nothing ever is.
You can never go home again.
So let's (re)meet your bloggers:
NAME: RK
HOMETOWN: FARGO, ND
CURRENTLY ATTENDING: A TECHNICAL INSTITUTE
LIKES: CROSSWORD PUZZLES, COLLECTING JERSEYS OF TWINS PLAYERS ONCE THEY'RE NO LONGER ON THE TEAM (MILTON, GUZMAN, PIERZYNSKI, SANTANA, AND COUNTING)
JOB: TEACHES AMERICAN POLITICAL THEORY
INJURIES: BRUISED EGO, BRAISED LEG OF LAMB, WEEVIL FLU, FIELD WORK IN KOREA (15 DAY DL SOMETIME THIS SUMMER), SLAVERY TO FASHION, UNTOLD HORRORS, ABSTRACTION, PAINT-DRINKING
NAME: WV
HOMETOWN: ERIE, ND
CURRENTLY ATTENDING: A JUNIOR COLLEGE
LIKES: RES EXTENSA, BRISKET BARK, LEW FORD BOBBLEHEADS, OH HENRY! BARS
INJURIES: TARNISHED REPUTATION, BROKEN PROMISES, CLUBHOUSE CANCER, NUPTIALS (15 DAY DL IN AUGUST), THOM YORKE'S FALSETTO, KVETCHING, THE LONG BALL
RK: Do you think they get sick of these ridiculous introductions every year?
WV: Well, over the course of the year we shed and regenerate a number of new cells, so I think it's only fair to let them introduce themselves.
RK: Yeah, and also, uh, who is "they?"
WV: My grandmother and a host of bots.
RK: FREE CIALIS
WV: I think we should go the Bill Parcells route and take Batgirl out of retirement, that'll boost traffic.
RK: We'll also sign Terry Glenn. Uh, football! (?) Eye on the prize here, people. We pride ourselves on our relevance
WV: To the chagrin of most everyone who stumbles across this blog. But I digress!
WV: So first things first, what ever will we do while Joe Joe's sacrilegious joint keeps him in DL purgatory?
RK: I, for one, hope OMG's injury boosts sarcophagus awareness. And good thing Elaine Chow isn't secretary of labor anymore! She wouldn't recognize it as a real workplace disability
WV: As a Latin scholar, I'm sure you're aware of that word meaning "flesh eating". So in other words, Mauer's got some problems.
RK: I'm mainly concerned about the toll this will take on Mike Redmond's body. He might disintegrate if this goes too long
WV: We'll need a sarcophagus if Redmond has to catch for any extended period of time.
RK: And who thought we'd be longing for Baker?
WV: Not me, but I also occasionally long for Tony Batista, so go figure.
RK: Hopefully the lemnas will heal him and he'll come back from Rivendell. And that's a good point. For the first time in a long time there isn't some lurking (c)agey veteran in the wings to provide us material
WV: And with R.A. Dickey making the team, the nicknames are practically writing themselves.
RK: Hope springs eternal
WV: But as you know, whenever the Indians or Bitch Sox are expected to win the division, things turn out fine for us.
RK: Absolutely. Let's go comment on other Twins blogs to artificially jack up our readership for a day or two. Deal?
WV: Alright, I'll be the flamer, you be the good cop.
