    Rookie move from a veteran. I always get the CD... :mrgreen:;)

    First time I had the chance to get the tenclub vinyl version on the first go around. Ass.

    Also, I figured when I buy the CD, which I will, I can get that anywhere.

    Plus, they've made it pretty hard to NOT hear the new tunes.

    I realized I could do so on my fancy new iphone last night. So, we did. My review is comin....

    Yep they told him to try to hit the ball to the opposite field more. LOL! :fp:

    I remember he averaged about .270, played in over 100 games just twice, and played in less than 90 games 4 times (out of 6 years).

    Then, I recall he signed with the Red Sox and in his first year there, was in the top 5 for MVP voting. In 2009, we found out that he tested positive for PEDs that year (2003), something which, to this day, has never been explained or discussed much by MLB or fans. (He's so lovable though!) :fp:

    So yes, I remember the underwhelming, oft-injured DH for the Twins who went on to take steroids and slug his way into the hearts of an undiscerning New England fan base, much to the chagrin of ever-suffering Minnesotans. :lol:

    I guess I answered as a disgruntled season ticket holder who's tired of seeing Twins talent succeed elsewhere. Pointing out the fact that his positive PED tests have been conveniently overlooked assuages my aching Minnesotan heart. :D

    You just enjoy debating (Atleast on the PJ message pit) and I see many politicians and lawyers whose livlihood is based on that skill. It wasn't meant as an insult, just wondering. :)

    You're really a lawyer? If so, I rest my case. :lol:

    PJ won't be getting back from Australia until Feb 2014.
    Soundgarden performing Lollapalooza in Mid April 2014
    I'm guessing PJ Euro tour during Summer 2014.

    This is speculative, but that timeline doesn't bode well for additional U.S. dates... :?

    Whoa...holy Wrigley memories. Hannah (wife) and I are interviewed at like 1:04, around 3:35, 5:45 and 6:59. kdiddy makes her appearance on the last two.

    By the way, you wouldn't believe the comments I got on the Costanza shirt I was wearing that day. :lol:

    At the 3:06 spot, the guy in the backround with the blue, red and white PJ hat acting like a moron is the guy who literally thought Pat was Brian Posehn.

    Also, when did this happen, Vant? I don't recall you telling us (me and pat) you were interviewed on the street. Also, I know where I was....in the bar.....drinking......trying to stay cool and out of the crowd.

    Are you asking so you can come and join the party?

    I work in a lab so it's a little more laid back, and we usually have music on, but not in the office area (although sometimes!). Just FYI, the "kids" I refer to are college kids- they usually put some hideous Pandora station on.

    I'm an elementary licensed educator (Augsburg) who is doing some substitute teaching. I'm looking for a connection to a full time teaching gig. When you said you work with the kids I thought you might be an educator as well.

    it's tough to break in to a field out of school. If anyone knows of an elementary openings, let me know. Shameless self promotion is now over. :)

    I know my replies don't generate too much hoopla, but no one responded to my observation from yesterday...

    PJ won't be getting back from Australia until Feb 2014.
    Soundgarden performing Lollapalooza in Mid April 2014

    Has PJ consistently toured on the strength of an album for over a year in the 2000's or 2010's?

    With families and the band's dislike of playing more than 15 shows a year, I can't see additional dates in the fall of 2014 happening.

    it may not be the "lightning bolt" tour in late 2014, but i don't see right now what would would prevent them from doing some shows in the second half of the year. hell, we don't even know for sure if they'll be doing anything in europe. all we know is 6 pj shows in australia and some soundgarden shows in spring.

    past history may suggest a certain pattern, but it certainly doesn't mean they stick to that. if we get to august 2014 and we haven't heard much of anything for shows on our shores, then i might start worrying about keeping my streak alive (at least one show a year since 2003!).
