Let's talk about writing, books, MN sports, politics, art, science, philosophy, and, most importantly, puns. Living in New England, still feel Minnesotan. Sometimes have fever dreams about Jabberjaw.

Loons not signing Elis? Sad, it was Elis they could for him. What was your favorite Alberth Elis moment with the Loons?

Sure, some teams develop several young players through quality academy/ development infrastructure. Boring! And yes, some teams spend money to acquire several good players. Yawn! But how many teams have the owner sing karaoke with fans? Hang. The. Banner. You and your β€œwanting to win things” bias.

Does DeRosa know that the Canada game is not the championship?

Why would you want to break up such beautiful flow? Honestly, for me, it’s less about timeouts and more about the inability of coaches to get this team quality shots when they are stagnant. Need a better plan B and C when β€œflow” isn’t working.

Clearly the next pick for Sec of State. Trump just itching to get this dude to DC. Though, does DeRosa know where DC is?

Once again, sometimes Wolves Back is a rallying cry, and sometimes it is a threat.

Loons living the difference between CAN and SHOULD. Padelford can play CB, he should not. Loons can play out of the back, but should be judicious with this rosterβ€”Markanich, Diaz, etc. Harvey & Romero should be rescued from the well they must’ve fallen into. Need to figure out the SHOULDs quickly.

If you bet on the Loons, get paid out in GAM.

When people get too excited about the Wolves, like after beating a banged up Denβ€”do you just sayβ€”Give it a week? And whenever people get too angry after one of their inexplicable losses, do you just sayβ€”Give it a week? Are they just the 4th/ 5th best team in the West regardless of the ups/ downs?

Also: the depth? Yikes. Loons better have the lead after 60 a lot this season because that bench isn’t providing any goals … or even creating chances.

Doyle gave Nash an A+ offseason grade. Loons: D. Hard to disagree. Thought the game plan was naive given the attacking firepower of Nash. Markanich is off to a bad start. This team is trying to play more out of the backβ€”but can they? Triantis is great. Pereyra is pretty good. Romero situationβ€”weird.

Bad start to the season for him. He’s never been particularly good with the ball. But if he defends well, he can be a starter given he’s great on offensive set pieces. But his defense struggled to end last season, and it’s bad so far. Plus the poor passing remains. Not good!

Loons tried this partnership as well. But as you can see, the, uh, excitement could not be contained:
