So it's time to look back on the Saints season that was.... I made 31 of the 50 home games this year. Not bad for supposedly splitting the season-ticket package half and half with Rob. We met a bunch of new players, and a bunch who returned.
Tommy's Bangin' Nails 1600x1200(413k) 
Me, Candy, Sully and Dave 1600x1200(355k) 
Sully, Jody, Jason, Candy and Lynn 1600x1200(435k) 
Some guys, some gals 1600x1200(425k) 
OJ, The Can Man 1600x1200(439k)
Tommy, Sully, Mags, Jody, Ricky, New-Guy-Joe and a bunch I'm forgetting, we'll miss you guys if you don't come back next year, but hopefully it'll be because you've found better jobs. Maybe we'll manage to talk a few of you warm-climate guys into coming ice-fishing this winter. Can you imagine Ricky Gomez in Sorels and a parka?
Coaches Korn and Twig, we hope you both come back to visit next season. Marty, keep Twig busy in Texas so Lin doesn't go nuts with him puttering around the house.
I've almost got all the mailing list software in place so the PeTA gang can email back and forth in the off-season. If only my boss will give me the time to get it all working.
I enjoyed the season, even if the Saints didn't make the playoffs (which reminds me that I've got to find the playoff tickets so I can get credited toward next-year's tickets). There were a lot of rough games, and at least one crew of umpires who need to get their eyes checked during the off-season, but it was still outdoor baseball, hanging out with friends, and cooking up some wicked grub in the parking lot. A heck of a summer. - New deal should help Twins keep up with rising salaries. The article also spells out how the Twins payroll will go from $24 million last year, to $41 million this year, and could rise to $60 million next year. [strib]
- If you notice the update time on this, I'm up way too late. But Wednesday was a wacky day for me. Got up and jammed on some work. Walked over to the post office and bank to mail bills and make sure there's money in the account to cover 'em and when I got home, allergies Kicked My Ass. And then the allergy drugs did the same, so I had an unexpected nap in the afternoon (at least I made it away from the computer before bonking - I hate waking up with a keyboard-imprint on my forehead). But I got productive again in the wee hours, and I guess it was a good day, too. Woo! Time for some sleep, though.
