Random Thursday

*If I understand the pine tar controversy correctly, it's technically illegal but everybody is doing it.  It's only an issue if you flaunt the use of it.  Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.  It's either cheating or it isn't.

*Jimmy From Accounting had this statistical tidbit waiting for me via text at 6:00 a.m. today:  Minnesota Twin Chris Colabello has half as many RBIs in one month as Joe Mauer had all of last season.  Now that another April 15th has come and gone, we can expect a great many bits of wisdom from JFA.

*Reggie Tales shout out to TPetter in Warroad.  He will forget more Twins baseball than most of you will ever know.

*Can I put away my snowblower for the year?  Or should I wait until May June 1st?

*Is it just me, or did the price of eggs sky rocket?

*The greatest playoffs in the world, the Stanley Cup Playoffs, continue tonight.  I will be interested in the Wild and Kings games.  

*It's another rainy day in Grand Forks.  It makes me wonder where Rain Man is.  He's been MIA for about two months.  I hope nothing untoward has happened to him.

*As I'm writing this Random Thursday, I just received a phone call from the dog groomer telling me CJ is not cooperating.  The tone in the groomer's voice was somewhere between dejection and exasperation. Welcome to my world, dog grooming lady.
