My All Stars: Phil Cavarretta-.3% Former Twins pitching coach, Johnny Podres-.1% Dickie Thon-.5% HOF: Tinker-2% Dazzy Vance-1% Fox-2%

Jumping into the conversation about the wisdom of tying so much money into a WR, I'm going to first acknowledge that I defer to Ogee on this point, as he laid out quite some time ago how the way the Vikings have set up their salary structure allowed them to A) be able to pay JJ these top...

Nice work--I'm sitting at 8% currently and I have to tell you, the "Holy Hell..." series has really come in handy, when I can remember who the hell I put down for each team ;-). My Twins/Cubs was Dave LaRoche (.1%) Twins/Dodgers, the pride of Rothsay (1%) Twins/Astros, Mark Davidson, part of...

Twins on the grid today, time to hunt those low scores boys!

I'm pretty sure on the NFL grid that there was a board that Adrian Peterson was able to be used for all 9 squares.

I did--anytime you can invite John Lowenstein, Danny Darwin and LaRue Washington to the party, it's a good day. I also was able to utilize Claudell Washington--if only I could have found a spot for U.L. it would have been the perfect day. But I used Kirby, so it was close to a perfect day...

Well damn, I never imagined that Liriano achieved that mark post-Twins career. In my internal narrative, his career was pretty much done after the injuries with the Twins. And thank you for clarifying Dick Mountain—every time you mentioned him, I thought to myself, ‘how did I overlook Mr...

I thought I could get one of my all-time low scores today after my top row with the Twins--Kelvin Torve (Mets-.1%), Chuck Baker (Padres-.1%) and Camilo Pascual (200 SO's-2%) Alas, the Pirates/200 SO's (Bob Veale-7%) done me in for a sub 10% score. I figure that's where you utilized Circle Me...

Have you ever seen the original movie (1973)? It's in my baker's dozen of favorite movies.

Not a Twins day, but you can use the three St.Paul HOF’ers today (I recognized so a little too late).

Good day on the grid today, Twins and Vikings with long established franchises, go get your low scores!

The last time the Vikings faced Jones, he threw for 382 yards, 2 TD's, no interceptions with a passer rating of 119.8 (in '22). Let's hope the vastly improved defense this year doesn't allow for Magical Mac Jones to rekindle his career on Sunday.

I was totally stumped by the TWolves/Pelicans-Hornets today, I think the first time I've ever run into that with a Minnesota team. Once I clicked onto the summary, I see that Randle and NAW played with the Pelicans, which I guess I should have known, but otherwise? Bobby Jackson? Dante...

I did the same 😎

Hey it's been awhile since I've posted a "Holy Hell, I didn't know/don't remember that he played for that franchise!" so I'm turning my attention towards the Friars today, aka the San Diego Padres. It wasn't so long ago that I predicted that the Rockies would be the only team that didn't have a...

Where?

Buzz has a beauty of a ‘76 Topps card that captures the old Braves uniform very well. There’s a fun write-up on his Baseball Reference page including why Pedro Borbon once tore Buzz’s cap to shreds with his teeth!

It’s a fine time to break out Buzz Capra too

After rewatching Get Shorty this past weekend, I think it's time for a Dennis Farina appreciation post. Can you think of a movie where you've seen Farina and he hasn't made it markably more enjoyable, because I cannot. A couple months ago I watched his debut in Thief (with James Caan) and was...

Where's the enthusiasm for a Wolves W? It's not every day you can beat a starting lineup that trots out 39 year old Taj Gibson. Goodness, has there been a more anonymous franchise since the Bobcats/Hornets rebooted in 2004? 4 seasons above .500, 3 playoff appearances, no advancement past the...
