Welcome to the (belated) Thursday edition of The Cooler, where I have so much to show you. Let's get to it:
*I had a lot of fun stuff lined up for the morning, but then I started writing about soccer and the good old days and next thing I knew the post was getting long and I didn't want to stuff everything else underneath it. So here are a bunch of random tidbits I've been saving up over the last day:
Awful Announcing is back with its annual question: How would you rank the local broadcast crews for all 30 MLB teams?
The Twins have a bit of a tricky entry because while Dick Bremer handles pretty much every inning of every game as the play-by-play voice, the analyst work is spread evenly between every former player in Twins history.
Voters generally seem happy, though, with the Twins' drew. The most common grade is "B," and almost 80 percent of voters give Bremer and Co. a passing grade of C or better.
*Trevor May's dad thought the Twins pitcher really got a plaque for throwing 100 mph, which is the greatest thing ever.
*Speaking of Twitter, the profile of new Twins pitcher Randy Dobnak says he has a 4.99 (out of 5) driver rating on Uber.
