Okay, when I clicked play, Barb told me to read the post. Also, even after reading the post and all the comments, the song still isn’t over. My only advice is to do what my family did and move North. ;) I’m sure we’ll meet at one of those KnuckleBalls events at the stadium. Barb won’t let me miss it.

Good to know my family isn’t the only one that references that song in real life.

I know I won’t have tickets for every series, but…*sigh*. I also don’t have any tickets for the ’91 anniversary weekend.

I’m pretty sure I’m the Director of Cluelessness. I almost figured out how to post the box score yesterday, but it wasn’t the right color and I’m not quite sure what the deal is with putting the link in. I really need step-by-step detailed instructions if I can’t learn by watching and doing.

Bob, yeah I can always do a sports bar and I suspect I’ll be spending a lot of time at various establishments this summer. It just gets a little pricey over the course of 150 games or so!

I’m already looking over the schedule to see when I can make it up there. My daughter is flying to Seattle in June for a week out of MSP and I’m planning on catching a couple of those Dodger games at the end of the month when I drive up to pick her up.

I think it would be great to put together some kind of gathering. I’ll bring it up with our Social Director (we have a Social Director, don’t we?… I mean, supposedly we have an Art Director somewhere I didn’t know about, so we must have a Social Director, right?)

Being a Packer Fan from western Wisconsin, I feel your pain. Most of my early years was spent watching Ghostly figures, fading in and out, on stolen reception in the bars of Northwestern Wisconsin. Not all bad I guess, but fundamentally wrong. Over the years, more games have been made available to the fans in my area, but we still had six blackouts this past season. Are you able to at least go to a bar and view the Twins? It sure is crazy the lengths a fan has to go through to be a fan. Don’t give up. I am hoping to meet up with you at a Target Field gathering of KnuckleHeads this season.
Devoted KnuckleHead
Bob Z
