Welcome to the Twin Cities, Seth!

Seth: I thought your position was "Chris Coste's Publicist"

You da man, Seth. Your site is a daily must for Twins' fans. Keep it up.

All I need is thiiiiis lamp. That's all I need. I don't need anything else.

ohhh, ohhh, ohh. I almost let this slip.

Now, I have a friend in the academic business who is a Bud man and, when ribbed about it, snarls "you can't go to the Preference Store," but ... McNuggets??!!!

SBG, you need to get Seth together with Banjo for an intervention ASAP.

Mmmm... Chicken McNuggets!! They are tasty!
And yeah, after reading the Coster comments, I should be his publicist! Ha!

I'm continually impressed by the quality interviews you get, Seth. It's got to be a lot of work keeping up with all the Twins happenings - including all the minor-league affiliates. Thanks for all the hard work - your site is one of three I have bookmarked at home - along with Gleeman and . . . some kind of . . . on-line magazine . . . I cant remember the name at the moment. Lots of gloom and doom.

"I'm into McNuggets, y'all." Man, I hate that commercial. But those little Gallus gallus morsels do sound tempting:

The Chicken McNugget is a small piece of minced chicken and mechanically separated meat held together with phosphate salts. The pieces are coated with batter, lightly fried to set the batter, individually quick frozen, packaged, and sent to stores... McDonald's state that they use mechanically separated breast meat in the production of their McNuggets. A small amount of chicken skin is recovered with the breast meat... The 2004 documentary Super Size Me alleged that McNuggets were, at one point in time, made from sick and/or old chickens unable to lay eggs, and that they included chemicals such as TBHQ (a phenolic antioxidant), Dimethylpolysiloxane (an anti-foaming agent), and other ingredients not used by a typical home cook. As of 2007, these two ingredients are still listed as possible ingredients of the vegetable oil that is used to fry McNuggets.

Love the interviews, Seth - keep it up!

I only know one person from Perham; do you know Marty Birkel (sp)? Probably ~45 now, so no doubt older than you.

Okay, Concordia Moorhead? A Cobber? Please say no!

Seth, I'd say that around here you're probably known as being the Twins bloggers' #1 prospect guru, and blogger with the most connections. I'm always impressed with the interviews you are able to get.

Far and away, I've learned more about the Twins minor leaguers at your site than anywhere else. Nice work. Now, lets hope some of these guys make it to the bigs, pronto. (And with minimum "jerking around" by the MGR when they do.)

It should also be pointed out that Seth has been one of the biggest supporters of this site. I don't link to him nearly often enough and he doesn't have an RSS feed, so his posts don't show up in the column on the right, but I've been reading him daily for years and years. Great work, Seth!

New Britain Bo is gonna have a field day with your party guests. Or hit a huge writer's block. Odd pairings, to say the least.

Coste was obviously keeping Seth and his .938 college OPS down.

Is Kendra Wilkinson the "Kendra" from that Playboy show on E!? Not that I've seen it or anything - I've just heard other people talking about it.

I was going to suggest The Grey Album, too. If you can find it, it's right up your alley, Seth.

First, Seth is awesome. He's by far the nicest blogger in the history of blogging, Twins or otherwise, and he does a great job filling a much-needed niche in the Twins blogging world.

Beyond that, Chicken McNuggets are great. There was a time when the meat inside them was pretty horrible, and looked dark and dirty. However, a couple years ago they switched to all white meat (or at least something that looks like white meat) and the overall product has improved by about 100 percent.

I went like 10 years without eating a McNugget because they were so awful when I was a kid, but then I tried the improved version and became addicted to them. Unfortunately, I haven't had them since like January of 2006 (although this conversion is making me crave them).

Seth, I've been reading your blog for the last couple of years, and I can truthfully say that more than 90% of what I know about the Twins farm system I learned from you. In fact, whenever someone asks me about a minor leaguer in the system, I send them to your blog for some remedial education. So I want to say thanks for helping make me a better informed fan. Now if I could just find a site or two that can teach me about these sabermetric thingamajigs, I'd be set.

I thought I was the only guy who's been watching Tell Me You Love Me. My wife and I saw the pilot episode a couple of weeks ago and we were impressed with how the show characterizes the various stages of relationships. The writing is very good, the direction is reminiscent of cinéma vérité, and the acting so far has been quite compelling. Plus, people get naked and have sex at the drop of a hat. So I'm guessing they're trying to appeal to couples with this show by giving women an insightful drama about the trials and tribulations of personal relationships, and by giving us guys the prurient tittilation we demand and deserve.

Seth, I'm still pissed off that you moved without telling me!

Seth, I love your site.

NBB, the natives are getting restless. Your fans demand satisfaction.

Seth, you are one heck of a blogger and by far the most passionate and dedicated baseball fan I have ever met. Keep up the great work!!

Seth Stohs: “Thanks for driving up north to meet me for breakfast here at the Scandia Calf-A. This place is udderly-fantastic!” (no-one laughs, awkward pause) “Umm, let’s mooo-ve on. Laura, I thought you’d like the Gammelgarden.”

Ingalls-Wilder: “Yeah. Reminds me of home. All of us sleeping in a one-room house… Ma, Pa, The snoring…” * Wipes tear *

Uecker: "Strong family ties are important. I signed with the Milwaukee Braves for $3,000. That bothered my dad at the time because he didn't have that kind of dough. But he eventually scraped it up."

Seth: “Laura, didn’t you ever want to break out of there?”

I-Wilder:” “Once you begin being naughty, it is easier to go and on and on, and sooner or later something dreadful happens.”

J. Love-Hewitt: “I've literally, in my entire life I've had two guys come up to me and ask me out. Other than that I have had to go and try to like spend time with them, or sort of start the conversation, basically like spell it out in a Sharpie, like, you know?”

Uecker: “Sharpie. Yeah. Gotcha.” (Whistles between teeth) “Y’know, If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter."

L-Hewitt: “Bob, you are the only person who can sell you, so you do spend a lot of time in your job by yourself everyday.”

Uecker: (Clears throat) “Yeah. I remember one time I'm batting against the Dodgers in Milwaukee. They lead, 2 - 1, it's the bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, two out and the pitcher has a full count on me. I look over to the Dodger dugout and they're all in street clothes."

(From the grill in the Calf-A kitchen: “Hiyo!!”)

I-Wilder: “It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.”

Uecker: "Yeah. Like the time I got pulled over at 4 a.m. I was fined $75 for being intoxicated and $400 for being with the Phillies."

Seth: “Jennifer, are you from Venus?”

L-Hewitt: “I'm a hopeless romantic. It's disgusting. It really is. I've seen 'While You Were Sleeping', like, twenty times, and I still believe in the whole Prince Charming thing.”

Uecker: “Speaking of Prince Charming, in 1962 I was named Minor League Player of the Year. It was my second season in the Bigs."

Seth: (uses forks on plate to make rim shot, avoids eggs) “Yowzah!”

Uecker: "People don't know this but I helped the Cardinals win the pennant. I came down with hepatitis. The trainer injected me with it."

I-Wilder: “Hello!!”

Uecker: "Career highlights? I had two. I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets."

L-Hewitt: “Vegas, baby!”

Uecker: "The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That happened when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something. Struck out three times. Made an error that lost the game. Parents were throwing things at our car and swearing at us as we drove off. Gosh, I was proud."

I agree, Seth. Coors Field is the best field in the majors (along with Fenway). And I too will agree with the McNuggets.

And thank you for the props!
