Coolest t-shirt I’ve seen at Target Field. (A young woman was wearing it and there was no way in hell I was going to ask if I could take a picture of it, so I immediately searched “Mazeroski t-shirt” when I returned to my seat.)

Olive green t-shirt with white lettering:
123 456 789 10 R H E
N. YORK 000 014 022 9 13 1
PITTS. 220 000 05 9 10 0

To be fair, we were cobbling that thing together from hardware and software from other products and it wasn’t worth anyone’s effort to write up a detailed performance benchmark to aim for.

I’m reminded of a meeting where we were finalizing a project proposal for upper management. Someone asked what the paragraph under “Performance” meant. “If we wrote it correctly, nothing.”

“Violated.” That’s the word you’re looking for.

Nice work. That said, you want to avoid the Pedroia model batting gloves. You have to redo the Velcro after each pitch.

Today in “I Needed Coffee Before I Made Coffee”, if your coffee looks a bit too light, ensure that you poured those freshly-ground beans into the coffeemaker’s filter.

I’m in favor of opting out. The Yankees opted out. Also, we already have a uniform that literally says “Cities” on it.

I do not get these “Peter - Blaine, MN” spots. Did his “profoundly autistic” kids lose some or all of their services because of “Ellison” something something “fraudsters”? Buddy, if you have kids *anywhere* on the spectrum, the party that put RFK Jr in charge of HHS is not on your side.

Here’s a suggestion: Sell all that you own, give the proceeds to the poor, and spend the rest of your days cleaning bathrooms at homeless shelters while dressed in sackcloth and ashes, shouting “Unclean!” to anyone with whom you cross paths.

Any problems going through Customs, or do they only search candidates they suspect may be bringing that “Minnesota Mess” across the river?

You regularly sit on the kitchen counter while I cook. I’d only be interested in video to get a conspiratorial wink from you when you say “Hi, credits listeners!”

Anyone but the Dodgers, Yanks & Atlanta. Would be happy for a team that’s never won a WS (Brewers, Padres, Rays), the Guardians (to end their drought and for changing the team name), & the White Sox (to make a good friend happy & for the Pope jokes).

Must’ve commissioned this glove after that.

Played a little center today, hung out with a bear.

Older guy in centerfield at Target Field, ready to throw.

It’s literally the story.

Baby shoes, never worn.

They’re cute, size 1, red things with bows. I don’t know where they came from, but neither of our kids ever wore them. Too small, probably.
