Paul "Wog" Kuettel, from Wog's Blog, might have figured out how to arrest the Twins' play off skid:
Tonight at dusk I will do my part to help the Minnesota Twins sweep the next three games from the Oakland Athletics by making a burnt offering of a very nifty liquor store display prop.It's a handsome structure...The canister of Jesse Ventura Minnesota Fireworks will be lit as the base of newspaper and cardboard begins to be consumed as it works its way toward the remains of another Budweiser prop, an 8 foot tall wooden lifeguard chair which was hacked to small timbers earlier this evening in preparation for the sacrifice.

Or...was...

Keep your fingers crossed.
And if it works, Wog, I hope you have a bunch more fireworks and memorabilia saved up...

My sympathies, Mitch. Looks like the Twins are going down faster than Mark Foley in a high school locker room.

But I'd hate to make predictions, lest I end up all wet, like Mary Jo Kopechne.

My dad worked at a nuke power plant in Cali for 13 years. He told me there is a saying in the nuclear power industry;
"More people have died at Chappaquiddick than have from nuclear power accidents in the United States"
Still brings a chuckle to me.

Or New Orleans.
Hey, you Republicans gotta stop coasting on your old material!
