    Not even Fernson's best lager, Lion's Paw significantly better.

    Large Area of Iowa in Extreme Drought.

    Yep terrible yields that year in some areas due to the May snowstorm + essentially no rain in July and August.

    He did significant weight loss a couple times while on the Twins, problem was it never stuck.

    I've dabbled in a couple Civil War Podcasts but they didn't grab me. For American History I really like Presidential by Washington Post that gives interesting glimpses into all the US presidents, not just the well known ones. Not quite as polished but if you want a DEEP dive on the American...

    Pick one team

    I like D or C. Though with D I'd put Ejim or Brackins on the bench and start Horton or Long just to have a true 3 point shooter out on the floor.

    Should Iowa Move On from Mad Fran?

    Unironically you could do a hell of a lot worse than McCaffery. I can see the case of saying things have plateaued and you want to aim a little higher but there are far worse results competitive teams with NCAA tournament chances most years.

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    Clarification DeSclafani is not free. Breakdown for who is paying his salary this upcoming season basically works out as follows: 6 million Giants, 2 million Mariners, 4 million Twins. Still frees up money overall as Polanco's salary was higher than 4 million but the number is closer to 6...

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    To be honest most of these long signings end up being overpays on the back end. If not for the concussion issues and Mauer getting another couple years at catcher and the contract likely ends up being a reasonable deal overall. With the new stadium deal the Twins were going to sign some of...

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    Little video narrated by Justin Morneau on Mauer's election. I thought Mauer had no shot to get in this year say 6 months ago and he'd have to slowly climb to get his shot, happy to be wrong.

    I'm sorry but Purdy is awful tonight, these throws just are not even close.

    If you have a bye I continue to think it's a mistake to rest healthy starters the last game of the season.

    Fine as long as you tip very well. If you're not willing to go out you should make sure the people who are willing to do the service are well compensated for their extra effort.
