My little bro works at a girls camp in the summer. (rough life, eh?) They usually have the latest and greatest in water and boat toys for the girls every summer.

It turns out… the Tube of Death was a little too wild for them

This has to be about the strangest things I’ve ever heard about. Apparently during the sausage race at Miller Park, as the sausages came around third, a Pirates player playfully clobbered the Italian Sausage in the head.

Or not quite in the head, but up on the sausage costume, she fell over, another sausage crashed, and chaos ensued. Scratches and bruises.

Full Story:

MILWAUKEE — In a bizarre scene during a popular costume race at Milwaukee Brewers games, Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Randall Simon bopped a woman dressed as a huge Italian sausage with a bat and was arrested.

What has happened to my Twins? They were crusing along, winning games, and generally in command of things. Then I made the fateful remark to a friend that hopefully the Twins would be 10 games up by the all-star break and we could cruise to the playoffs.

How wrong was I?

Terry Ryan goes and shoots his mouth off, Latroy and Eddie go and shoot their mouths off. And we’ve been in a downward spiral ever since. Something like 5 – 19 in our last 24 games.

The All-star Break is coming up, and a few of our deserving players didn’t get picked (Torii Hunter?) Maybe, just maybe a little rest and a renewed focus will help us turn it around. Maybe we need to make some trades and put some players in positions where they can excel?

There is still a lot of baseball left to be played.

It’s the fourth of july and I just shot my greatest round ever. 46 and 49 = 95 at Northern Hills here in Rochester.

That was about the best way I could spend my 4th seeing as my Lady is at work tonight 🙁

Not only did I shoot my best round ever… It was Free! I called to see if they were even open, and the guy said, “I’ll be gone by the time you get here, so just play as long as you like.”

I played through the first nine in 1h20m, and decided I might as well try and finish it off. In ever increasing darkness, I par’ed the last hole and I was happy 🙂

2h30m to play the entire 18, which is pretty dang quick if you ask me… and it was free. It was good to be in America today…

Happy Fourth of July!

I’ve been outside working in the yard most of the afternoon, cleaning up after the dog, and mowing the lawn. It’s nice to have a day off from work, but I wish I could’ve gotten some errands done or gone up to the cabin…

Today I was looking pretty good with some khaki slacks and a sky-blue polo shirt, but I was busted by the fashion police for non-compliance (no polo shirts and no shirts without button down collars if you aren’t wearing a tie), and they made me change into this:
