What are the Twins missing?

Marble ColumnsI guess it was inevitable that the Twins were going to get rid of Luis Castillo, Terry Ryan made it evident he would be gone by the end of the year.  So let the pawning of the ‘valuable’ players begin. 

Maybe what the Twins are missing is some ‘Marble Columns’.  I think if we got some ‘Marble Columns’ in the metrodome, we’d be set…I mean it wouldn’t hurt!  Maybe Dr. Morneau could hit the ball through our very own ’Marble Columns’.  SOMEBODY TELL TERRY RYAN TO GET SOME MARBLE COLUMNS!!! WE GOTTA GET OURSELVES SOME MARBLE COLUMNS!

PFO web forum, finally

Stupid VickWell after much nagging from friends, family, George Bush, the Pope, recently deceased Rick James, Ringo Starr, Howard Stern, and dog lover himself Michael Vick I’ve finally got the forum up and running.  I’ve found some kinks in the system but that’s to be expected.  I mean did Vick run the most efficient dog fighting operation in his first two years, I think not. 

Without further delay, here is PFO’s very own web forum.  Let’s have some fun with this guys, eventually there will be a calendar but not until the mod is available for phpbb3.  Oh yeah, I’m back from vacation so I should be posting again.  I know it was hard not being able to read my amazingly witty tales of adventure and world domination, but sometimes even a conquerer like myself needs a rest.  Here is a pic of my Twins piranha fishing lure from my trip up North to the cabin, what else would a Minnesotan do during his vacation?  I’m still waiting for this whole piranha thing to start working!  Twins piranha fishing lure

Some random/weird vids to ponder

UFC PS3 Trailer

Weird #1, this just gets really weird after awhile:
Weird #2, it’s a magical liopleurodon!:

It’s ok, he’s the MVP!!!

RommiesI guess they thought it would be ok if Morneau went first since he’s the MVP…I personally think it was a bad draw. Even my boy Gardy seemed to be having problems getting the ball across the dish. Gardy seemed to calm down after the break between hitters which included 4 chili cheese dogs, a PBR, and a box of crackerjacks.

I’ll be honest with you guys, I was just STARVING! I hope I didn’t throw Justin off! I thought that pizza I ate for breakfast would hold me down but you know how I get when I get worked up…I just burn calories. I needed some energy food!

It’s ok Gardy, Justin just couldn’t catch a groove…you my boy Morney…you my boy! Morneau’s former roommate Mauer, said that he’d have a snack pack pudding waiting for him with his name on it when he got home.


NEW ERA CAP COLLABORATES WITH SPIKE LEE ON LATEST TELEVISION SPO - The most amazing home videos are here

NEED INTEL ON JASON BOURNE?

On August 3rd, 2007 Jason Bourne is going to be unleashed again.  This time with the supposed last of the Bourne Novel series written by Robert Ludlum, Bourne Ultimatum.  Have we seen the last of this spy gone awol?  Check out the trailer, I know that I’m going to go to see this movie.

Too bad Pat…too bad

Sad puppyIt’s a damn shame that our boy Pat Neshek didn’t get in the All-star game. Though it was a valiant effort by Twins fans everwhere we came up short. This kid’s got character though, he says he’ll continue keeping up the good fight and continue his world blogging domination.  All in all, this kids’ (Pat Neshek) a good kid.  We at PFO salute you goofy reliever Pat Neshek.  I believe even one of our staff writers has played against you in college, can any of you guess who that might be? At least we fellow bloggers can blog about Johan, Torri, and Morneau in the all star game.  A fellow blogger has told me that Dr. Morneau will be participating in the homerun contest. It’s been awhile since we’ve had anyone from the Twins participate in this contest, GO Dr. Morneau

Anyways, I thought the video mentioned in the NY times article was funny but here are a couple more that I found more funny.  Enjoy.

Those were the days, Harold Reynolds and baseball…

you my boy, Harold!I stumbled upon this video of Harold Reynolds and the more I listen to him, the more I wish he were still on Baseball Tonight.  Oh how I loathe for the days of Harold Reynolds and Peter Gammons mixed in with a little dumb commentary from John Kruk.  Now I have to put up with the likes of Kruk as the power house of the operation, I’m sorry but that fat bastard needs to lay off the donuts and drag races!  Seriously, can this guy get a fricken hair cut and a fricken clue?

The only actual point I’m trying to drive home is that Baseball tonight sucks, and that I miss my man Harold at the helm.  I’m rooting for Harold in his new endeavor at mlb.com.  You can write all day about this man and what he’s had to go through with his firing from ESPN but the fact of the matter is he’s a damn good baseball anlayst and sports commentator.  He brings enthusiasm and know-how.  Check out Harold Reynold’s instructional vids, here’s a little taste:

Happy 4th of July!

Drinking Lemur!!!Happy birthday America!!! From us to you at PFO, we’d like to wish you a fun and safe 4th of July…God bless America!

In other notes, Joey Chestnut beat Kobayashi in the 2007 Nathan’s hot dog eating contest. I guess Kobayashi had problems holding his weiners at the end…good job Chestnut and a great effort by both competitors!
