@Brian: The discussion was Tim Horton's, which led me to Willie Horton. I'm not sure anyone else can take the blame for the Tiger comments :)

Hey, I pledged after Michael's show last week... I requested I Can Hear Music, of course. I'm in Kuwait with the Army (it's 7:30 pm here now), but my 09337 APO Zip code shows me in Germany on the map!

Hey Tyler @11:38, you can make a manual entry on the map for Kuwait, if you want... I don't know if it'll work. Presumably you have to leave out the postal code though. www.wfmu.org...
How is Kuwait anyway? Decent local cuisine?

If you hate any of the baseball teams BP/Spring Training Caps just wait a few years until the release a newer more ugly version. Also, has the MLB revealed all of the "interview caps" which have a designed just for POST GAME TV INTERVIEWS! Ugh.

@Minnesota Jeff: What's the weather like in MN in early April? Tigs season opens up there -- does Selig realize the Twins no longer play in a dome?

@MN Jeff: New and disimproved! Now with more than twice the superactivated kitsch factor!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:01pm
Minnesota Jeff:

Brian C: Well, I don't have the numbers - but I believe the stats for rain delays/snow delays between Target Field/Met Stadium (before the dome) are about on par with any other Northern team in the league. It certainly can snow in April here, but Cleveland had a Snow Delay a few years ago. So...yeah.

Hey Todd, all the playlist comments remind me that me & Belock were talking about making good on your threat from the other day and doing a sports talk show a la World's Greatest Music Experts. We could even do it on one of the alternate streams so there could be cursing.
