HUH???

Terry Ryan is done, as GM. This is strange. Why now? Why at all? Is he saying? There are so many questions. More later.

Belated Baseball

Neubie, Bez, Bits and I went to the game on Friday and something should have been posted yesterday, but I’m guessing most of us spent the day hung over and/or asleep. The day started early because Bits wanted to buy a jersey at the mall, and he is my chauffeur when I need to get to the city. After about three hours and some crazy good Chinese food we left the mall with a belt, some shorts and a silly-ass hat. Bits’ ladyfriend talked him out of the jersey and argued that the money would be better spent on her. I tried to explain the importance of owning a jersey to her, but to no avail. In fact it was I who almost left the mall with a Twins jersey- I found a Shannon Stewart one for $20 and I’m the type of asshole who shows up to a game with the wrong player on my back.

We hit up a bar before going to the game only to discover that there was no happy hour, which made us a bit unhappy. Bits, another friend and I sat in decent seats out in center field. Bez has season tickets so he sat in a different section. Neubie was just getting off work when the game started, so he was forced to iron his shirt on the light rail. Before the game got underway Morneau received his MVP award and I found out that Killebrew is the only American to have won the MVP in a Twins uni. I also found out that chicks from nowhere, South Dakota wear about an inch of make-up to a baseball game, I bet that dude tried to gnaw his arm off when he woke up yesterday.

Johan looked great in the first inning when he threw all of 4 pitches, but after that he looked a little shaky. Everybody knows that April is usually his worst month, and he is the best pitcher in baseball so there is nothing to worry about. I’m beginning to think that Akinori Iwamora is a damn good baseball player. That 5^th inning sucked balls and Crawford’s 6^th inning in the park home run came about 10 minutes after Bez nominated Josh Rabe for player of the game because he hates Kubel.

Not having the old guys in the line-up and no batting from the piranhas has hurt the Twins so far this year… oh course Bartlet did manage to get a hit yesterday and one in the game that we went to. We also caught Anthony Lapanta roaming through the section next to ours and stealing people’s signs, probably for “Circle me Bert.” Morneau’s blast went for a mile but it was futile. It sucked to watch Johan’s home win streak end but like he said he’ll just start a new one.

After the game we went out to catch the rest of the Wild game. A good number of people who sit in Bez’ section came with us. Eventually we left and Bez’ shoe broke, I danced with a lady, and Bits couldn’t get “a goddamn ham sandwich with cheese and alfalfa sprouts!” – no matter how many Jimmy Johns I tried calling.

Alfalfa sprouts??

Dear Anthony LaPanta,

I have been thinking for a while about another recurring bit we can do here at Some People's Kids, and I believe I came up with it today.

Dear XXXXX, there always questions to be asked, so in this bit we will be writing letters to anyone who we want to. If anyone has any suggestions who we should write to let us know with any questions you have. Besides being posted on here the letters will also be sent to the subject, I am not sure how, but I will try my best to get them to that person, and if they respond I will post it in it's entirety here.

Dear Sir Lapanta,

I am writing to you in the inaugural letter to my new recurring bit on my blog, titled Some People’s Kids. I was unable to find your email address so I figured I would send this to you through the Twins, if figure it has to get to you somehow.

As a fan of Minnesota sports (besides the Wolves, who I parted ways with a few weeks ago) it’s pretty hard not to know who you are. As you probably know, well I hope you do, you are everywhere. Every time I turn the TV on there you are. I guess I have a few questions for a man in such a position.

Which of the teams/events do you like to cover the most, I’m going to make a guess that’s it’s either the Wild or the State High School hockey tournament.

Last summer must have been pretty fun with how the Twins finished the regular season; I know it was for me. I still think one of the most memorable moments was when Bert dropped the f’bomb. The funnies part of that was your reaction, “but we’re live,” what was your first thought when you heard that come out of his mouth? Do you ever feel like dropping the f’bomb (live or not live), if you do can you tell me when you plan on it so I can tune in??

Is that your real hair? I can’t tell I feel it’s always changing. I think that if you woke up maybe 5 min earlier you would have time to do it, just a suggestion.

Why did you stop updating your blog, I just found it today, when I was looking for your contact info, but I bet you have some interesting stories to tell with your access to the teams.

Who do you get your paychecks from? You’re all over the place; you work for everyone involved with sports in the state of Minnesota.

Do you think that your colleague Ron Johnson’s real name is actually Ron Johnson, that can’t be true can it?

Marney Gellner or Ann Carroll??

Here are some reader suggestions for Questions:

What is your favorite buffalo wild wings sauce?

How many bobble heads do you have? On the same note, when is Anthony LaPanta Bobble head night? They could put real hair on there colicky and all?

Do you and Donald Trump get package deals on hair?

Would you ever consider doing commentary for a dog show?

This one isn’t a question, but my friend just dubbed you “the new bad boy of bed head.” Just thought I would share that.

Wow that was a random set of questions; I hope they don’t scare you off. Many of them have been building in my head for the past few years and they are in good spirit. I would like to thank you for your time and feel free to answer as many questions as you like. I can be reached at www.some-peoples-kids.blogspot.com.

Thanks

Adam
