My husband of 19 years @kevingaustin.bsky.social passed away suddenly on 11/11/24; if I seem grumpy or sad or am slow to respond-- that's why! The obituary I wrote for him is below.

Replacing some players with dogs would solve almost all baseball problems

This is easy. Replace two outfielders with dogs.
This is a good dive into something we've been talking about for a while and which many people refuse to admit:

fielders are too good, low BA is not just hitters wanting launch angle or whatever

More hits? Make it harder on fielders.

I need to ask this more often if it results in the Wolves going on a run like this. (Uh, most of the time when I ask this, that does not happen.)
What are the Wolves doing? <— evergreen

I saw something somewhere about the Gophers having a perfect record and thought "that can't be right" and oh, I bet it was perfect record AT HOME.
Minnesota finishes the season a perfect 7-0 at home and 0-5 in the road.

Turned on the Wolves game when it was tied and now it is not (derogatory).

Halftime: Thunder 49, Wolves 39

Defense has been great, Offense is really struggling to put the ball in the basket: 12/38 FGs, 5/18 3PTs, 10/18 FTs, only 6 turnovers

Ant and Randle combined for 11 points on 2/13 shooting. Need way more from them to win this one

Edwards and Randle are a combined 1-for-13 at the half (6 and 5 points, respectively). Wolves down only 10 with that, plus shooting 32% overall and 56% at the FT line.

Kevin used to remind me when the Wolves and Lynx were playing, now I find out when the Wolves are playing when people on here start complaining about the Wolves.

Forever and ever, I miss having Karl-Anthony Towns play for the Wolves. (He's probably in a better place, I guess.) (Heavy sigh.)
I still miss Kat.

And there it is lol

My mental state is fine. I feel good about my choices and will get a good night's sleep tonight after another stunning display of Minnesota sports.
Not fully blown yet, but getting there. Still not turning this on lol
That game has blown loss written all over it and I will not be a party to such perversions.

Should change my icon to this during the Wolves season obviously.
