Disappointed by the Twins Split in the Bronx?

If at the beginning of the series against the Yankees I were to tell you the Twins would take 2 of 4 games in New York, would you have been happy?  I think most Twins fans would be elated with that outcome. So, why does our 2 wins and 2 losses performance in New York seem a little disappointing?

Guess What Jason Statham Does in his Next Movie?

The view anyone playing a role opposite Statham likely sees.

I see that Jason Statham has a new movie coming out and I am shocked to see that he is a butt kicking tough guy.  I thought to myself, "Self, I wonder if Statham does anything other than be a bad ass that whoops the crap out of everyone?"  Heading over to IMDB I checked out all of Statham's past roles to see if he ever plays anything else.

I learned that my initial thought about Statham was even more true than I could imagine.

STOB's NFL Mock Draft 2012 4.0

Floyd shoots up the board along with many other changes in version 4.0

We are just over a week away from the NFL Draft actually taking place.  So with that let's get another version of STOB's NFL Mock Draft.  It seems that after the first two picks things are really up in the air this year.  Just when you think you have figured something out, all of the sudden people are talking about Ryan Tannehill being drafted at #3 after a Vikings trade.  The teams themselves, outside of likely Indianapolis and Washington, probably don't know what the heck they are going to do.  Yet, that won't keep us from taking our fourth guess at what will happen.

A change from previous mocks, I will not be doing explanations for picks outside the top 10.  Sowie, but I doubt you read them anyways.

1. Indianapolis Colts - Andrew Luck QB, Stanford

STOB Post #500: What Will Happen in the Next 500?

A little over a year ago, STOB began.  Back then it was sportstearsinourbeers.blogspot.com.  We've shortened our web address some since then, mainly because we couldn't have made it much longer without needing paragraphs...and they tell us those don't work well in web addresses.  In just over a year we have published 499 posts until I hit the "post" button on this little ditty, then go back and edit it to remove my misspellings I missed or try to catch most of the numerous grammar mishaps, then there will be 500.  500 posts is about 450 more posts than we initially thought we'd get page views.  Luckily we were wrong and the support has grown exponentially every month, week, day and hour since.

Now I know you maybe getting a bit misty eyed like myself, so I'll stop the reminiscing and I'll begin to cast my gaze upon the future 500 posts of STOB.  What will they look like?  What will they sound like?  Will I ever write a post while in a flying car?

Let's take a look into the STOB Crystal Ball and see what we are in store for, shall we?
