Ferris Bueller's Day Off Glory

Back to the Future Mad Max: Thunder Road (TBH, that whole movie zips by in what feels like 20 minutes) Terminator 2

Animal House What’s Up, Doc? The Sting

After watching the Woman in Cabin 10 (not bad!-low bar of expectations and it cleared it) on Saturday night, I wasn't ready to go to bed but also didn't want to start even an hour long TV episode, so as I was flipping through the Netflix options and The Last of the Mohicans popped up, I fast...

In anticipation of the Running Man remake , I watched the original which I realized I somehow missed back in the day; as I do the math, it was released the year before I got my driver’s license, hence the miss (same with Predator). Anyhow, it was a silly joy ride with Arnold’s one liners flying...

I’ll counter with:

I was able to run all newbies through the Twins category, and a bonus too: KC: Drew Butera Pirates: Michael Restovich (pride of Rochester Mayo) LF: Darin Mastroianni (not to be confused with Dustan Mohr) 1 Team, LF: JT Bruett I spent some time looking over U of M alums in MLB a couple weeks...

Add Preacher Roe to the players identified by nickname on Baseball Reference/IG.

Because of the trick you shared regarding Kirby (played 2B, 3B, and SS, in addition to all the outfield positions), he always brings in a small score when I put him to use. I'm guessing Tony O's close to making your big board too--he's #6 on my list (a good distance from Carew though) and he...

I don't have such a race at the top, as Kirby outpaces Circle Me Bert at a 142 to 81 rate. My fight is trying to make the top line all former Twins-it's really hard to quit Gaylord Perry, but Rod Carew is just one spot from tying him. We share Mauer, Parker, Winfield on our big board. And I am...

Finished it last night and it didn't disappoint through the finale. Chekhov's gun from the early episodes comes in significantly in the finale, it's a pretty satisfying conclusion. Michael Pena deserves all the work he can get, he's outstanding, with Sarah Snook right there with him.

Flipping through the Peacock offerings yesterday, my wife and I decided to start watching All Her Fault, a limited 8 episode series with Shiv from Succession, Michael Pena, and Dakota Fanning starring. Intended to watch an episode, maybe two, but six episodes later and staying up too late for...

Two years in a row that the Twins had the AL Gold Glove 1B'man.

Fun day on the Grid for me--I was able to utilize a few historic names for their first time (Ralph Branca, Vic Raschi and Leo Durocher) along with some other players who brought in a single digit score for myself (Tommy John, Joe Torre, Jose Cruz Sr., Gil Hodges, and the always helpful Gaylord...
