He is the missing piece of the puzzle that the Cubbies picked up from the Pale Hose scrap heap that is going to lead you to the promised land (according to Ryan Dempster at least)! LOL Good ole #8.

Windy & Crew,

The closest you have come to a World Series ring is a picture?? I have actually touched a ring (former pitcher Scott Erickson's 1991 World Series ring with the Twins at an autograph signing in 1992). And by the way, if you actually read my post, I was talking about World Series rings actually won by the Twins in my lifetime. Are you telling me you are like (what would it be, 90-some years old)? I think you would have to be more like in your 100s to have lived through all of the White Sox World Series seasons. And since we're going back that far in history, let's not forget about the "Shoeless Joe Jackson & the Black Sox". Your beloved White Sox will always be remembered for that scandal, more than they ever will for any World Series they ever won. At least my team doesn't have a tainted history like yours.

As far as your avatar challenge, I'm not a total computer geek. I just like to talk baseball and hunting/fishing!!!

Now to be honest, I got nothing against the White Sox. I'll always root for American League Central if my Twins are [PoorWordUsage]. As far as I'm concerned, it's still the best division in baseball. The Red Sox won't win the World Series this year. If you ask me, if they are healthy (which I'm sure your well aware of is huge for any sports team) there is no reason why the Tigers shouldn't be in the World Series this year. Their lineup is more frightening that either the Red Sox or Yankees as far as I'm concerned!!!!

Otis,

Wow, you touched an old Twinkie ring, was it all tarnished and green? Ours is still nice and shiny and sitting on this website all over the place. And for your information, yes I am 103 years old and was born at the park during the Sox first championship in 1906.

While you guys argue over history, don't forget my Cubbies have a record you guys will never appreciate as spoiled as you are with all those championships: 100+counting

Will it end in my lifetime?

I'll take a hit of g-tol too!

History is about to change on the Northside eh Geno? Especially with Friggindummy or whatever his name is from Japan! How can you go wrong, especially with Ryan Dempster coming out with a World Series Championship prediction. Order an extra ticket for each of the World Series games for me Geno and I will bring plenty of Ice Cold Falstaff (take it back a few years there)

Mama's boy Otis is fiesty!!!!!

He touched a world series ring???? WOW!!

Windy, did you get a chance to see the trophy when it was around? I actually kissed it at the 2006 Sox Fest.

And the rings are pretty impressive. When we had lunch with Harold Baines at Stoney Point, he had it with him. Heavy!!!!!!!

So that is why that thing was wet when I kissed it! LOL

How many words did Harold actually say while he was there? If he is anything like on TV I am guessing the over/under would be about 7. Must have been a good time though. I saw Don and Rich on their show that they shot at Stoney, looked like a good time.

The show is always fun. I sat directly next to Harold, and there were times I couldn't even hear him.......

VERY QUIET!!!!!!!

      thats great to hear regarding the lake levels!!!!!!
    • Kettle
      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year

      I don't think its 100% accurate, you are just relying on other average joes to report precipitation. But I think most numbers there are right in the ball park, especially when you see consistency among multiple reports in a general area.   It's probably more accurate than what the weather terrorists say on the news  which usually only reports metro areas. cocorahs is good for getting rural area reports you just might not have as many reports to go off of

      Thanks Mike.  I've been looking at bags of it for years but never wanted to chance wasting good meat on it.  I have a gas and charcoal grills, but really love the flavor of charcoal over gas. Most of the time it's if we have time to use one or the other.

      On the south end...   The big open water, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  The bays and tributaries of LOW such as Zippel Bay, Bostic Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  The lake is in good shape for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. The many bays and backwaters of the lake have been receiving attention from spring pike anglers.  Some pike have already entered the bays, spawned and gone back out to the lake, but there are still a pile of fish to be had.   The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Another great week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  The bite has been very good and lots of fish of all sizes are being boated.     Sturgeon are being caught from Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River all the way to Birchdale, about 42 miles.  There are many boat ramps along the river to make life easy.  Starting from the east going west...   -Nelson Park at Birchdale (About 30 miles east of Baudette) -Frontier (9 miles west of Birchdale) -Vidas (Near Clementson Rapids) -Timbermill Park (East Baudette) -Peace Park (International Drive, Baudette) -Wheeler's Point (mouth of Rainy River)  The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Up at the NW Angle...  The Angle is ice free.  Resorts are gearing up for the fishing opener which is expected to be excellent.  The late ice bite was very good and the walleyes are in good numbers amongst the islands area of the NW Angle.
