Wow ! That high !!

[sigh] If only I had a life..... then I wouldn't have to suffer through all these frustrating losses !!

What happened there.... we didn't score those four runs ????

btw.... are Boone & Erickson still doing morning drive on WCCO ? I have no idea, I'm a MPR guy. did you go to the "U"? I spent 7 years there, Master of Architecture. I just bought myself a "M" hitch cover today. my wife was laughing at me, but I told her I spent enough $$ there that I had better start taking pride in that school.... :shock: No.... actually the time I spent in Minneapolis was really all "commuting" time. I was only there M-F, and on weekends, I'd go home. First to Madison, WI.... then we moved back to Chicago. I stayed at the MN chapter of my college fraternity for a few months.... but as soon as the weather warmed up, that was really not good for my blood pressure, eh?

btw.... are Boone & Erickson still doing morning drive on WCCO ?

fixed, but you realize that its because Germans are just smarter, dont you? lol That must be it !! Next time I'm in Mpls, remind me to tell you about Sven's career as a truck driver, eh?

The CUBS have actually scored 4 runs in the 9th inning twice this year..... Sun 28 May in a 12-13 loss to Atlanta, and on openning day in a 16-7 win over Cincinnati. Go CUBS !!

I've used that expression so many times, my sister bought me a T-shirt one Christmas that reads, "What part of Uff Da don't you understand ?" despite what you might think about Minn and Scandanavians, there are more Germans in this state that any other ethnic group....wild, huh? I need a t-shirt like that :) well, maybe so.... but what do hear more of in Minnesota...... Siegfried & Gretchen jokes, or Ole & Lena jokes ??? :wink:
