Link-O-Rama
• Delmon Young is on a playoff team for the sixth straight season and he has a postseason motto: "Keep your booty loose."
• Stoned Oven Gourmet Pizzas is a solid enough name, but given the product being offered I'd have probably gone with something simple like The Pizza Joint.
• If you only read one article this week about having sex in prison, make it this one.
• Only twice in the history of baseball has a manager not lost his job following four consecutive 90-loss seasons, so why should Ron Gardenhire be the third to keep his job?
• On this week's "Gleeman and The Geek" episode we shared a few beers with our guest, Twins beat reporter Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, who had a lot of interesting stuff to say about covering the team and interacting with Gardenhire on a daily basis.
• Two weeks ago on "Gleeman and The Geek" we used the phrase "naughty postman" and John Bonnes jokingly encouraged listeners to send in photo-shopped pictures of me. Several of them actually did it, including me as Cliff Clavin and me as an adult movie star and also these two.
• Charles Barkley's ceremonial first pitch at Wrigley Field went poorly:
And yet, still better than his golf swing.
• Wanna go golfing, support a good cause, and possibly win Vikings-Packers tickets? Check out the Todd R.W. Andrews Memorial Golf Tournament on September 27. There's a best-ball scramble tournament followed by dinner and a raffle where "all golfers will be entered for a chance to win tickets to the Vikings vs. Packers game on November 23." Proceeds go to cancer research.
• Barry Bonds is already making excellent use of Twitter after joining last week.
• I'm burnt out on the Derek Jeter tributes at this point, but Bryan Hoch of MLB.com wrote about his coffee-drinking routine and it was a surprisingly fun read.
• After 20 years together the Twins have ditched the New Britain Rock Cats for the Chattanooga Lookouts, moving their Double-A affiliate from the Eastern League to the Southern League.
• Rihanna is too good for the NFL anyway.
• NFL admits that brain trauma will affect one in three players and at "notably younger ages" than the general population.
• In addition to plenty of other sad quotes, Adrian Peterson's mother says "when you whip those you love it's not about abuse, but love."
• For some reason I'm entranced by videos like this one, showing all of Jose Altuve's hits this season in four minutes:
Altuve is on pace for the most hits in a season by someone other than Ichiro Suzuki since Darin Erstad in 2000.
• Ben Revere has two home runs this season, which is two more home runs than I thought he'd ever hit, but it's still funny to read about the Phillies wanting him to hit for more power.
• As a "Top Chef" fanatic I'll definitely be watching Tom Colicchio's new show on Bravo, which will hopefully include some Gail Simmons cameo appearances.
• I'm less enthused about Richard Blais' new show on Food Network, but I'll give it a try because Blais is great and also I watch almost anything on Food Network not involving Guy Fieri.
• Friend of AG.com Mandy Lee is doing food stuff and interviews for City Pages. Perfect fit.
• New brunch spot recommendation: Libertine, which even offers Glam Doll donuts.
• Some of this week's weird and random search engine queries that brought people here:
- "Why doesn't Glen Perkins shave?"
- "How did David Caruso lose 305 pounds?"
- "Get ride of Joe Nathan"
- "Brian Harper's brother"
- "Hugely fat guy on a plane"
- "Why would you eat brown rice?"
- "Jerome Felton girlfriend"
- "Chopped strategy"
- "Pedro Florimon can't hit"
• Finally, in honor of the debates about Gardenhire's job status this week's AG.com-approved music video is Irreplaceable" by Beyonce:
This week's blog content is sponsored by Uber, which is offering a free ride to first-time users who sign up with the promo code "UberGleeman."
35 doubles is a lot, and not just for Revere, that’s just a lot of doubles. The Phillies are kind of insane, and they get picked on quite a bit for being kind of insane, but this might be one of the more insane things I have heard from them.

I am catching up on the podcast, listening to to the tone deaf one now; someone needs to tell Jon that it is lip service, not mouth service, the latter sounds like, well, a service.

As I am looking at your writing, I regret being unable to do outdoor activities due to Corona 19, and I miss my old daily life. If you also miss the daily life of those days, would you please visit my site once? My site is a site where I post about photos and daily life when I was free.keo nha cai

I can’t imagine concentrating long enough to study; much less writing this kind of article. You used too much of this material. It’s a really good content. 토토사이트

The model website where you will find additional places is definitely funny on top of the feature. It once again schedules everyone to click on the sanctuary encore. I definitely need to snatch the models’ feasts in time so that I can get up to date with any kind of information. 메이저토토
