Long weekend

Well, it was a great time watching the Crew take on the Twins both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday's 16-10 loss was an entertaining one though. Not too often one gets to see 26 runs scored in a game. There were 2 main highlights from the game: 1 - When the Kiss Cam fell on TC (the Twins mascot) and Bernie Brewer, they waved it off. Then, it came right back to them and TC acted like he was going to kiss Bernie. Bernie decked him and proceeded to kick the snot out of him. It was hysterical and the crowd loved it. 2 - The sign that was up on the scoreboard for about 7-10 seconds of "Muck Finnesota" in the 7th inning. That got about as big of an ovation as Bernie laying a whooping on TC.

Sunday's game was of course the better game (plus given I had better seats) and Weeks' triple was a thing of beauty. The sausage race was great as it was a relay. The adults had to tag off to kids who were in well, the kid-sized sausage racers suits. Complete pandemonium ensued at the tag with the Hot Dog family winning the race as that was the only kid to actually run to the finish line.

Congrats to the Twins for getting past the biggest hurdle in getting a new outdoor stadium built!

Packers Minicamp II
By all reports, Colledge looked every bit the starter and is thriving in the blocking scheme so far. Rodgers is looking better and better and is making the move from rookie with potential to player with starter capabilities. With all the talk of Favre skipping this camp, the main person benefitting is Rodgers. He doesn't have to share any of the duties with the #1 offense and simply can practice as if he is the starter. It only is helping his growth and progress at the #1 QB. Otherwise, it was a minicamp and that's about it. Have to wait until training camp for much more evaluation.

Posts will be limited this week, if there are any more. My grandma died at the age of 93 and I need to make the drive back down to Milwaukee for the funeral this week. So have a good week all.
