Can't believe my bracket has gone as well as it has when I basically made the picks on vibes alone. After I submitted, I looked at everyone else's and wondered if I was way off, but I went through my picks again and decided that's still what it should be.

SCOTTSDALE SCORPIONS 12, PEORIA JAVELINAS 3 IN PEORIA (7 INNINGS) Max Anderson (Detroit) doubled home a run in the first, and Scottsdale scored six in the second to take a 7-0 lead and put the game away early.  Sam Petersen (Washington) hit a two-run homer, followed by a Chris Suero (Mets) solo shot.  Two runs &hellip; <a href="" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text"></span> <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a>

The Wolves opened the season with win, though with more drama than necessary against the Trailblazers.

It's a small sample size--the whole season is a small sample size--but I thought there might be some people interested in how our Twins lads are faring so far.

Yesterday's nostalgic prompt reminded me of one time I was at a friend's house, and she made some box mac and cheese. She sprinkled a bit of pepper over it and explained, "we add pepper so if there's a weird, little spec or something in the mac and cheese, you won't notice it."

Founding member and bassist Sam Rivers passed away at 48.

I was just randomly remembering that I used to melt American cheese onto Triscuits in the microwave for a snack. Around that time I was also requesting mayo sandwiches in my lunch (like, mayo, and that's it). What sorts of odd fare did you fancy as a wee chile?

Okay, now we can break out the holiday stuff.

MESA SOLAR SOX 12, PEORIA JAVELINAS 6 IN PEORIA P. J.
