Going to a late night movie when the theater is almost empty and there is no one to bother you with cell phone, talking or sitting in front of you. You get to enjoy the big screen, the sound system, maybe 3D and sneak in some treats. Love it!

San Antonio flooding kills at least 1, more than 200 rescued.

Saw Epic with the kids .. solid. Great 3D effects. We're going Monday if it rains - heard nothing but good things so far. I was with kids ages 9,10, 11 and 13. They all loved it. I thought it was good but have liked some other animation movies / stories better like Up, How to train your dragon, Toy...

1-1 now ... RW's just walk right in.

Edit - Hawks get it back - 2-1 [Shaw].

I hope this series goes to 7 games - great hockey...

Speed and passing are unreal ... a little different style than the Wild play!

Not a fan of blind shots!!

Twins beat Detroit 3-2 to end their 10 game losing streak.

Mauer homers amd Walters went 6 innings allowing 2 runs and 8 hits. Perkins with his 9 save in 10 chances.

Djokovik and Nadal on the same side of the draw at this years French.

Saw Epic with the kids .. solid. Great 3D effects.

Bridge collapses (truck hits beams) in Washington and an overpass collapses in Missouri (train collision).

How come nobody has called for Brunansky's head yet?

Too soon. Other than Willingham .. everyone his hitting how they have been hitting for the last two years. Our left handed power hitters can't hit home runs.

Murray and del Porto out at this years French Open. Murray has a bad back and del Porto has been fighting an ongoing viral infection.

Man finds Superman #1 in wall when refurbishing home worth $100,000. Graded a 1.5 on a 10 scale. The comic was worth more but was ripped in a sqabble after it was found. Original grade was 3.5 so the incident cost $75,000 to $125,000. Original #1 Superman in MNT/ 10 worth millions.

The truth behind not having a basement in Oklahoma is a bit more detailed than "hard ground". The soil there is mainly clay, which isn't impossible to dig just cumbersome. I don't think there are that many areas that have the limestone issue that happens here in the upper Midwest. Also th...

A lot of money for those poor records.

IMO, I think the PGA will go along with it .. cant have two sets of rules.

So what has been happening to the Twins... I go on a long out of state road trip and come home to find they are 2-8 in the last ten and in last place in the division. Can someone summarize? Oh and not just 'they been losing'. I got that. Usual culprit [pitching]? When they hit they can't pitch. Whe...

Phones in movies!!!!!!

Wow this is just crazy sad.

This run of child death is crazy .. Newtown and now this. It just pulls at one's heart strings. Can't imagine losing my daughter and can only imagine what the parents are going through.

Thoughts and prayers to Oklahoma.

Looking forward to reading Inferno by Dan Brown.

Twins pitching pounded last night. Former Twind David Ortiz with a big night, 2 HR's and 6 RBI's in the 12-5 Red Sox victory.

It is amazing to see left handed hitters hit home runs to right at Target Field.

A lot of courses w poa grass got nailed w winter kill this year.

Another extra inning loss last night!

1991 World Series, I was 2 months old, but I've heard the story a thousand times. Mom is a huge Twins fan.

Good article about Willie Burton in todays strib, graduating 20 + years after his Gopher glory days.

That was my point. I couln't agree more.

IMO, Goalie is where they need to start. Backstrom at reduced price or need to make sure they have an able body with good back up.

Does anyone with more front office savvy than I possess have any realistic scenarios regarding what we'd have to give away to get him? I would say very similar to what we gave up for Pominville. Vanek's & Pominville's numbers are almost identical over their careers. Pominville 465 points in 588...

Sorry fellas but I'm with Hobes on this one. The only people that have effectively stared down Tiger with golf clubs in hand are YE Yang and Elin Nordegren. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Part of the reason I mention Rocco is because the Golf Channel was actually re-running their playoff round from 2008. ...

I agree about Tiger winning a major. There have been no duels or final pairings which is the point. Tiger and Rory haven't had and Nicklaus / Watson, Nicklaus / Palmer or Tiger / Sergio type duel.

Tiger lied about the marshals telling him Sergio had already hit. No surprise whatsoever. I told 5 O.T. in a pm that it was my belief that he lied about the marshals saying this. It's inconceivable knowing how on course marshaling works that (a) they would've said something in the first place and (...

Almost headline news is weak!!

Throw some stats at you. For those who think other players have stared Tiger down consider these numbers: When Tiger has a 54 hole lead, Tiger has a conversation rate of 92.6%. He has won 52 of 56 events. To put that in comparison, Jack won 40 of 64 times, 61.5% Without a doubt there has never been...

Back to my point .. open up the thread!!!

Stay on topic .. I am not arguing any of those things. My note earlier in the thread specifically talks about how Tiger dominated a generation of golfers when he was in a final pairing with others pre incident. The note i was challenging was how he owned Sergio (which he does and I agree). I was si...
