I enjoyed Sly’s music for a long time, with two songs (Family Affair and If You Want Me To Stay) making my Sublimity playlist (highly exclusive in my world), but watching The Summer of Soul really took my appreciation to a new level. I am looking forward to watching the most recent documentary...

I almost went with Feagles before remembering it was another mustachioed kicker (Tony Franklin) who was their kicker with the Vermeil era Eagles.

I went with: Astros: Mark Davidson (.1%) ChiSox: “Lefty” Carlton (5%) 100 RBI’s: Bob Allison (1%) I thought I would be able to sneak Carlton past for a smaller score, but no dice; that along with Twins alum Don Baylor for the Angels/100 RBI’s slot at 8% put my score in the 20’s—nice work on...

I went: Reds-Kyle Farmer (5%) Dodgers-Geoff Zahn (.3%) Mariners-Justin Topa (1%) I was also able to slot Frankie Rodriguez into the Mariners/BoSox square for a cool .004%. I’m quite surprised Mickey Hatcher was a 3%’er. Journeyman outfielder who bounced between the two franchises with a...

Same happened to me, but in a different manner-I thought Early Wynn was a shoo-in for 6+ WAR with the ChiSox, turns out he only did that with the Indians. 🤬

I think the heart of the issue is that Jerry Kill set an impossibly high bar of expectations for ex-Gopher coaches to rehash their time at the "U". What I would suggest, as to why we haven't heard from Johnson, is a combination of the following: * He never showed himself to be someone who was...

A few months ago, Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson had Wendt join them on their podcast and it was a wonderfully nostalgic ride through the heydays of Cheers: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/where-everybody-knows-your-name-with-ted-danson-and/id1745204141?i=1000702803241

Nice use of all three of those guys, and particularly tip the cap to your utilization of Tippy. I went: Ken Schrom (.2%) Jimmie Hall (.1%--that man bounced around for a career that lasted 8 years, with the first 4 in MN) Terry Felton (.06%) Also slid Kirby into the 2B/only one team...

If I did my math correctly, in the last three games, the Twins have collected 14 runs and their opponents have collected 14 hits ((no runs, of course).

There have only been two Funderburk’s in MLB history and to this point, they have both played exclusively with the Twins (Mark was a power hitting 1B from ‘81(?) who didn’t deliver the power and headed over to Japan before Hrbek settled in for the next decade or so)

Who were your biggest surprises/obscurities?

David Mutaf, Bakary Konate, Gaston Diedhiou, and Oto Osieniks are offended by this question.

Wow, really shocked on AC being on that list, not the 10+ TD list. I did my typical cheat code, knowing that I had Moss in my pocket, so went looking for low scores and checked Jordan and Senser and then went w/Sammy White (only his rookie season did he eclipse). It is interesting, as prolific...

Twins & Vikings on the grid today… Cubs: closer from early ‘80s who was gasoline and a match (.9%) ROY: shared the award and had a promising career cut short by a bad back (9%) 20 game: hero of ‘65 squad Rams: HOF lineman who ran the string out with the Rams (1%) Chiefs: one of the recent CB...

Old man on porch comment… So glad that I grew up in an era where the automatic instinct was not to use I’ll my phone/camera out and begin filming—yes, hypocritical for me to watch a video and complain about those taking the video but the need for everyone to document everything and anything, no...

Agreed. Just as it’s hard to predict how good the Gophers will be, I’d say it’s the same for other programs too, now matter how stacked their rosters may seem. USC is the kid in the candy store with a $100 bill, but how those players mesh, what happens to the players who don’t get the play time...

There's a lot of things that I miss about living overseas, but being able to avoid Draymond Green's vocal stylings (who, if I'm following correctly, seems to getting set up as the next generation Charles Barkley when he retires--with not a lick of Chuck's charm nor humor, from what I've seen)...

Great thread Bleed, here's my go at it. . . Royce White. If he possessed even a 25 cent head, the whole Tubby Smith era could have taken a much different path and the abyss the program has been for the better part of the post-Haskins era might have been tempered. Ernest Nzigamasabo. I blame...

Rewatched The Great Escape recently, and man does that movie rock, just a great tale throughout it's nearly 3 hours. And while Steve McQueen might be the coolest guy ever, I'd be very satisfied with being James Coburn cool--his run with The Great Escape, The Magnificent Seven, and Charade was...

I loved the book so much, that I've avoided watching the movie, figuring it would disappoint, but you've got me putting it on my list (right behind The Right Stuff).
