Well, look at it this way. He probably has the best seat in the house tonight. :smile:

But it's not going to be the same listening to the games on the old radio on the porch. Part of the reason I enjoyed it so much is that I felt like I was sitting there with my father like in old days.

I agree, OT.

Sounds, smells, the way the sun is at a certain time and time of year can make memories so vivid it's like being brought back in time.

Funny that I actually like the smell of manure for that same reason. Cow manure that is, not the expensive super-smelling human kind. Growing up around fields was kinda cool in that respect.

It's why I like horse barns. Reminds me of all the time I spent riding as a teenager.

That's the same reason why I like the smell of Love's Baby Soft :pbpt:

With four daughters, you can imagine that our house smelled pretty strongly of Love's Baby Soft. :smile:

In my day the scent of choice was Estee Lauder Youth Dew.

I'm not sure why we all wanted to smell alike. :chagrin:

Pig farms stink. I doubt anyone can conjure up a good memory to go along with the smell of a pig farm. :worried:

Maybe Baby Soft mixed with essence of Clue Master that is :eek: :pbpt: (Brute back then)

I've met your daughters, one of them looks realllllllly familiar OT :grin:

I like it...

I like the idea of outdoor baseball.... its how I grew up playing it...

I love the dome though, too...

It would have been nice, if we would have lucked out, getting one of those retractable-dome stadiums....

I dont like the place they're putting it though....

thats where we park, almost every time we go to DT MPLS, for anything....

plus its got a reeeeeaaaallly great view of the garbage facility......

anybody up for taking in a nice ballgame, and smelling the hot trash being burnt?

I like baseball outside but football inside. I'm glad they split them up instead of combining them like they were in the beginning.

He'll probably end up being a flop, once he gets here (Hershel Walker, anybody?), or coming in, and having an attitude - and then not sticking around for very long.

the ViQueens dont get that lucky.

I disagree. We already have a kick ass RB so he knows he needs to step up or go bye bye. It's the pros now and he can't afford to F it up. And if we can get even 1/2 of what Moss gave to this team I'll be more than happy.

Walker on the other hand.... :eyeroll:

I can bet that you'll hear a common phrase this year. Pony Backfield :cool:

nice missed Joe BTW :neutral: :smile:

I think he'll do well for us. Talent-wise he would have gone much higher, but teams were scared off by his injury history. If he stays healthy though, I think he'll be motivated to show other teams that he can stay healthy and that they made a mistake on not drafting him.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Patriots acquired veteran wide receiver Randy Moss from the Oakland Raiders in exchange for a fourth-round selection in the 2007 NFL Draft (110th overall). New England acquired the 110th overall selection from the San Francisco 49ers on April 28 along with the 49ers' 2008 first-round selection in exchange for a 2007 first-round selection (28th overall - T Joe Staley).

I still can't believe that the people of St. Paul voted down to support a ballpark there. Of all the whining they do... about being in Minneapolis' shadow all the time. Think of how awesome it would have been to have a ballpark on the river right next to the downtown. Look what the Excel Center and the Wild have done to liven up the downtown area.

Yeah, it sounds like he's basically gone. I'm sad because he was a great player and he was really loyal to Minnesota. I'm happy though because in a sense it puts us fans out of our misery of holding out that little bit of hope that we could get pieces around him to contend again. Now we know it's time to move on and rebuild and not expect as much for now.

Daly Leads PGA; Woods Four Back

John Daly, the surprise 1991 winner who was the ninth alternate to start that week, has not had a good year thus far.

Thursday, August 9, 2007

Tulsa, OK (Sports Network) - John Daly fired a three-under 67 on Thursday to take the lead during the first round of the PGA Championship at a sweltering Southern Hills Country Club.

Temperatures reached over 100 degrees already at Southern Hills, host of the 2001 U.S. Open. The weather is expected to be the same all week, so empty water bottles will be the norm.

Daly, the surprise 1991 winner who was the ninth alternate to start that week, has not had a good year thus far. He has no status on the PGA Tour and, in limited exemptions, has posted zero top 10s. Daly has 17 events under his belt, with five made cuts and four withdrawals.

"I've been putting too much pressure on myself," acknowledged Daly. "Being hurt doesn't help. I haven't really played that bad. I just haven't been able to score. If you can't score, you don't have any confidence."

World No. 1 and defending champion Tiger Woods is in search of his first major of the year. He opened with a one-over 71, which is disappointing considering he flew out of the gate.

He started on the 10th tee Thursday and knocked his approach at 10 to seven feet. Woods drained that putt, and added birdies at 13 and 15 to join the lead at minus-three.

Woods dropped a shot at the 18th when he could not save par from a bunker. That kick-started a run of bad golf which saw Woods bogey two and four. He made birdie at the par-five fifth, but fell back to even-par with a bogey at seven.

At the 245-yard, par-three eighth, Woods came up short with his tee ball. He chipped to 10 feet, but missed the par save. Woods rolled in a three-footer at No. 9 to stay at one-over par.

"I felt like I hit the ball better than my score indicates, which is good," said Woods, who won last week's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational by eight. "That's a good sign heading into the next three days."

The last season Woods failed to win a major was 2004. Since his breakout victory at the 1997 Masters, Woods has only had three seasons without one of golf's big four in his trophy case.

England's Graeme Storm is also three-under par on the course.

Arron Oberholser shot a two-under 68 with several players still on the course at that number.

Mark Wilson, Markus Brier, Camilo Villegas, Lee Westwood and 2006 U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy are in the clubhouse at one-under-par 69.

They are all looking up at Daly, who turned heads in the golf world earlier this season.

During the second round of the St. Jude Championship in early June, Daly showed up with scratch marks on his cheeks. He told authorities his wife attacked him while he was asleep.

The next time Daly surfaced was last month at the British Open Championship, a tournament he won in 1995. Daly took the lead with a chip-in eagle on Thursday, then exploded and missed the cut.

On Thursday, Daly was able to finish off his round.

Daly recorded birdies at four, seven and nine, with the last birdie coming from 10 feet. At the par-five 13th, Daly ran his 25-foot eagle putt three feet by the hole. Daly converted that birdie putt to make it to four-under par.

At the 507-yard, par-four 16th, Daly hit a poor second shot en route to a bogey. That dropped him to minus-three, but the 1991 champion hung on with pars at the last two for his spot on the leaderboard.

Daly thinks he might know the key to his success on Thursday.

"At the British, I played three practice rounds. Grinding, grinding, grinding," said Daly. "I came here and said I'm just going to have fun and not play a practice round."

--------------------------------------------------------

Calling all you football fans. Here it is again. This year's Pro Football Pick'Em. All you need to do is pick the weeks winners. No brain work required. (which is why I like it of course) Plus it doesn't cost a thing. But you do need to be registered with Yahoo which most of you are anyway. We've had some pretty good years in the past with many ups and downs throughout the seasons. You might want to make your weekly picks ahead of time so you don't get caught missing a week. You can always edit your picks later. See if you can get bragging rights for that weeks game winner. Just about everyone won their own week last year. It was a pretty close season even though I petered out fairly soon as I always seem to do. I just can't get away from picking those long shots for some reason. Anyway, please join up and have a great season. Good Luck Everyone!

And GO VIKES!!!
