<p>Why are my Thursdays always nuts? Once again, I&#8217;m lucky to be able to live-blog the show after Rosh Hashanah in Connecticut and the NFL kick-off game between the Saints and Vikings. Oh yeah, it&#8217;s halftime right now. How convenient. I say this every week, but I&#8217;m going to go ahead and skip any pleasantries. And wish you all a happy and healthy new year.</p>
<div id="attachment_2186" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://ocdchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Jersey-Shore-Season-Two.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2186" title="Jersey Shore Season Two" src="http://ocdchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Jersey-Shore-Season-Two-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jersey Shore is back, bitches! </p></div>
<p>But before we start, if you   missed any of my previous Jersey Shore  Season 2 Live Blogs, no problem.   They&#8217;re all <a href="../jersey-shore-season-two-live-blog/">right here</a>.    Now that we&#8217;ve gotten those formalities out of the way, let&#8217;s get to    this week&#8217;s Episode 7 live blog. As I always say, god help me. God  help   us all. Next week I get to atone for my sins, so this is good timing.</p>
<p><em><strong>Previously on Jersey Shore:</strong></em> Vinny has a huge pickle; Sammi cried; blah blah blah. CATFIGHT.</p>
<p>Vinny doesn&#8217;t seem to like Angelina very much. Which is why it&#8217;s going to be even more shocking when they hook up. Oh sorry, forgot to say *SPOILER ALERT*</p>
<p>Also the name of this episode is &#8220;Sleeping With the Enemy.&#8221; And I don&#8217;t see Julia Roberts anywhere. Just sayin&#8217;.</p>
<p>OH RIGHT. CATFIGHT!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I will say this: it&#8217;s the most balls Sammi has shown in a long time.</p>
<p>What did JWoww just throw?</p>
<p>Sammi looks possessed, drunk and basically just batsh*t crazy right now. I like it.</p>
<p>Wow that was a lot of yelling and throwing. And throwing down.</p>
<p>And now yelling at Angelina.</p>
<p>Yeah, Angelina, you are playing both sides.</p>
<p>My head hurts from all the yelling.</p>
<p>Excuse me while I pop 800 Advil.</p>
<p>Ok now I&#8217;m back.</p>
<p>Still yelling. Head still hurts.</p>
<p>Well at least the truth is out about The Note.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t remember that Angelina was there when the note was written. I thought it was just Jenni and Snooki. Perhaps they have video to clear this up?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s pretty hilarious that Sammi called JWoww the sidekick to Snooki.</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re f****** whores.&#8221; Ok then, Sammi.</p>
<p>Snooki really thinks they did the right thing with the note. Poor Snookums.</p>
<p>Snooki doesn&#8217;t seem to understand that the only way to look out for Sammi was to actually tell her about Ronnie.</p>
<p>Wait. Sammi isn&#8217;t being a good friend right now? I don&#8217;t like Sammi, but I don&#8217;t think the issue is her not being a good friend to Snooki.</p>
<p>Oh right I completely forgot about the Situation&#8217;s sister. So of course she&#8217;s chiming in on the situation.</p>
<p>Now they&#8217;re saying something about JWoww.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s time to throw things again!</p>
<p>How did that platter not shatter? I&#8217;d like to find out who makes that platter. That is one strong platter.</p>
<p>And Sammi threw something at Jenni&#8217;s head. Ok then.</p>
<p>This is just pathetic. No, not that I&#8217;m watching this. But yeah, sort of.</p>
<p>Jenni and Snooki and their whole &#8220;I don&#8217;t get why she&#8217;s mad&#8221; thing.</p>
<p>Really we need to just move on. For the good of everybody.</p>
<p>Snooki and Jenni with a high five. SMH.</p>
<p>TOUCHDOWN PIERRE THOMAS!!!!</p>
<p>Oh look at Sammi all high and mighty after the catfight.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m basking in it right now.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pauly D. wants a turkey sandwich. I love Pauly D. MORE PAULY D.</p>
<p>Good for Ronnie talking to Vinny immediately to make sure they&#8217;re cool. Bros handle sh*t like this so much better than girls.</p>
<p>Of course it&#8217;s not as good for TV ratings.</p>
<p>Angelina talking smack about Vinny. And telling Melissa about Vinny and Snooki. Wow Angelina has a big mouth to go with those sunglasses.</p>
<p>FAVRE INCOMPLETE. VIKINGS TO PUNT!</p>
<p>Oh man the house is disgusting.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s hair extensions. There&#8217;s fingernails. There&#8217;s like a tuna fish sandwich on the ground.&#8221; Pauly D.</p>
<p>Sammi and Ronnie together again. Of course.</p>
<p>LMAO at Sammi looking for her fingernails in the kitchen.</p>
<p>And she finds her earring!</p>
<p>JWoww working the gelato shop with Ronnie and Sammi? I&#8217;m sure the producers had NOTHING to do with that scheduling decision.</p>
<p>&#8220;Here comes the beast.&#8221;</p>
<p>JWoww putting the Woww in &#8220;Woww does she look horrendous.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jenni calling in sick to work because of her nails? That is priceless.</p>
<p>Sammi: &#8220;I&#8217;m missing a pinkie, a middle and a thumb.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sammi looks pretty much none the worse for wear all things considered.</p>
<p>THE GUYS HIT THE BEACH!!!!! FINALLY!!!!</p>
<p>&#8220;Nuttin&#8217; like a nice herpy to ruin the party.&#8221;</p>
<p>Last week it&#8217;s a tranny. This week it&#8217;s a herpy.</p>
<p>Ok that was a quick trip to the beach.</p>
<p>And now it&#8217;s time for &#8220;Gossip Behind the Roomie&#8217;s Backs with Angelina and Situation.&#8221;</p>
<p>How different are you now than you were in Jersey, Angelina? Well, for one, YOU&#8217;RE ACTUALLY IN MIAMI.</p>
<p>Nice anti-Vinny rant, Angelina. She thinks he&#8217;s ugly. Making it even more jaw-dropping when they hook up. *spoiler alert*</p>
<p>Look it&#8217;s Jose! A little overdressed for a stop at a gelato store.</p>
<p>Oh he bought Angelina a nice Fossil watch.</p>
<p>Not sure that&#8217;s going to get her to sleep with you, but nice try.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know how much it was. $39.99. $49.99. The man should be smashed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Date night with Ronnie and Sammi. Can I just fast forward?</p>
<p>&#8220;Ron&#8217;s not too romantic.&#8221; You mean hooking up with girls at clubs, blacking out and coming home and sleeping with you isn&#8217;t romantic? What????</p>
<p>&#8220;It shows me that he still cares. And whatever.&#8221;</p>
<p>This is just sad and pathetic.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sick of me yet?&#8221; Nice way to kick off a nice romantic dinner, Sam.</p>
<p>Low self-esteem much?</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m like in love with you, like, like, thank you, like.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Smush?&#8221; Ugh. Vomit.</p>
<p>Hello random kitty cat sighting.</p>
<p>&#8220;Have a chill night.&#8221; Is there such a thing?</p>
<p>There goes Vinny talking smack about Angelina to Sammi.</p>
<p>Again, it will be so shocking when they HOOK UP AT THE END OF THIS EPISODE. *spoiler alert*</p>
<p>Aw look at Pauly D. cleaning his sneakers. Got to stay neat.</p>
<p>Angelina is positively beaming over her new watch.</p>
<p>&#8220;All spiffed out in his nice like button down suit.&#8221; Button down suit. As opposed to those non-button down suits.</p>
<p>Instapoll: Should Angelina let Jose hit that because he bought her a watch?</p>
<p>Answer: WHO F*CKING CARES?</p>
<p>Jose is getting played</p>
<p>WOO! GETTING READY MONTAGE!</p>
<p>Felt. I like a good double entendre bar name.</p>
<p>Are Ronnie and Sammi wearing matching black t-shirts with bedazzling on the back?</p>
<p>Jenni and Snooki show up at Felt. NO WAY. NO WAY DID I SEE THAT COMING. OH MY GOD. I AM SO STUNNED. I&#8217;M SURE THE PRODUCERS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never been to Miami. But based on this show it appears there are five bars there. Is that accurate?</p>
<p>So we have JWoww and Snooki and the rest of the roommates. And Melissa.</p>
<p>Except Angelina.</p>
<p>BUT WHAT? HERE COMES ANGELINA AND JOSE!</p>
<p>&#8220;Awkwardness.&#8221; That is the word of the night.</p>
<p>Smartest thing Sammi has done all season is tell Angelina she&#8217;ll talk to her one on one later. I&#8217;m sure the producers aren&#8217;t happy about that.</p>
<p>Whoa I didn&#8217;t even recognize the Situation with that hair. Get a haircut dude.</p>
<p>Bye Melissa.</p>
<p>SAINTS WIN!!!!!!</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s time for the Sammi and Angelina one on one convo about The Note. Here we go.</p>
<p>Angelina didn&#8217;t actually write the note, but yes, she was the main source of info.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m like your realest friend in here.&#8221; Says the woman with a fake tan and wearing hideous white sunglasses inside so you can&#8217;t see her eyes.</p>
<p>Sammi is done with Jenni. That much is clear.</p>
<p>And she&#8217;s pretty much done with Snooki though that could still be revisited.</p>
<p>By default, Angelina is the only girl left that Sammi can be friends with.</p>
<p>Sorry for ending that last sentence with a preposition. It&#8217;s late, I&#8217;m tired and I&#8217;m lazy.</p>
<p>Yup, that&#8217;s how I choose my friends: process of elimination baby!</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m a very real person 100% real.&#8221; &#8220;So am I.&#8221; Why do I not believe either of them?</p>
<p>BEACH!</p>
<p>Snooki wants to bungee jump. Really.</p>
<p>Snooki: &#8220;I&#8217;m not white.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jenni: &#8220;What are you?&#8221;</p>
<p>Snooki: &#8220;Tan.&#8221;</p>
<p>CLASSIC.</p>
<p>Snooki put that on a job application for a tanning salon and didn&#8217;t get the job. I don&#8217;t know whether I should be impressed by that tanning salon or saddened that they didn&#8217;t have a sense of humor.</p>
<p>Yes, we would really like to get past this high school kindergarten sh*t. You and me both, Situation. You and me both.</p>
<p>&#8220;Troublemaker Vinny. Wait until I f*ckin&#8217; trash your name on Staten Island when I get home.&#8221;</p>
<p>Wow. Angelina really seems to despise Vinny. I&#8217;m going to be SO SHOCKED WHEN THEY HOOK UP.</p>
<p>Vinny and Angelina going back and forth. Lots of f bombs. Hand gestures. More f bombs.</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re f*ckin&#8217; shady.&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m not shady.&#8221; &#8220;You&#8217;re f*ckin&#8217; shady.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Where&#8217;d you grow up, Balsnack?&#8221; I don&#8217;t know Staten Island at all. What town is Angelina talking about?</p>
<p>Oooh, Angelina dropped a &#8220;dirty grenade&#8221; on Vinny.</p>
<p>&#8220;Honey I know I&#8217;m the best right now so I don&#8217;t care what you have to say about me.&#8221; Nice, Angelina.</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re more like the Rob Kardashian of Staten Island you ugly bitch.&#8221; [I'm hoping he said bitch].</p>
<p>But based on Pauly D&#8217;s huge bug-eyes, I&#8217;m guessing he said something much much worse.</p>
<p>&#8220;I hate Vinny. I hate him. I can&#8217;t stand Vinny.&#8221; I mean, after saying this, there is NO WAY ANGELINA&#8217;S GOING TO HOOK UP WITH HIM, RIGHT? NO WAY!</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t want the girl to affect me. She&#8217;s not affecting me. I don&#8217;t care.&#8221; Methinks Vinny doth protest too much.</p>
<p>And one more bird for good measure from Angelina.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yo, Snooks if I buy you a Fossil watch can I suck on them titties.&#8221; Nice, Pauly D. Nice.</p>
<p>Situation is a gossipy bitch.</p>
<p>Whoa. Vinny mentioned Mayweather. A sports reference? I swear to god these guys never talk about sports.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ron&#8217;s MacGyver, yo. He made out scot free.&#8221;</p>
<p>Situation talking about Ronnie getting away with dogging Sammi. Yeah yeah yeah.</p>
<p>&#8220;Just like when you&#8217;re little and you want to believe Santa Claus is alive. F*cking Santa Claus is dead.&#8221;</p>
<p>Santa Claus is not dead, Situation. HE&#8217;S NOT REAL. Big difference.</p>
<p>I would not want Situation anywhere near my kids. If I had kids. Which I don&#8217;t. But you know what I mean.</p>
<p>Yup, Sammi and Ronnie are even closer now. Man. What a d-bag. And what a stupid girl.</p>
<p>NIGHT OUT!</p>
<p>Situation showing off the abs.</p>
<p>Ronnie and Sammi dirty dancing.</p>
<p>Angelina and Sammi dancing.</p>
<p>Firecrackers coming out of the Grey Goose bottles. Of course.</p>
<p>Vinny with the radar lock on a pretty girl. She actually is pretty.</p>
<p>And it doesn&#8217;t look like she&#8217;s a man.</p>
<p>But she has a man&#8217;s name. Whatever.</p>
<p>And she works at Hooters!!!! Outstanding.</p>
<p>&#8220;Classy girl.&#8221; Oh Vinny.</p>
<p>Why does Angelina care what Vinny is doing? Oh right because she says she hates him but she really doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s like the kid in kindergarten who used to chase you around and tease you. It was because he liked you, right?</p>
<p>Sorry, Angelina, but Ryan is not a grenade.</p>
<p>Go Vinny. Work it.</p>
<p>And even Snooki getting some action.</p>
<p>&#8220;We start dancing like Spanish people.&#8221; Yeah, Snooki, because only Spanish people dance Spanish dances.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m a Guidette. I don&#8217;t know this sh*t.&#8221; Haven&#8217;t heard that term in a while. It&#8217;s been too long.</p>
<p>&#8220;Just very excited for him to come over and, you know, get it in.&#8221; Snooki being Snooki.</p>
<p>And the hook-up party is rolling back to the house.</p>
<p>And Vinny and Ryan get right to business. Ok then.</p>
<p>Snooki&#8217;s guy in the kitchen. He&#8217;s hungry.</p>
<p>&#8220;FYI, I&#8217;m not f*cking cooking tacos tonight.&#8221; Another winner from Snooki.</p>
<p>Oh my god Snooki is having sex in the bed in the same room as Jenni. I thought they had a smush room.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to vomit. And I am traumatized. For the rest of my life.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Moaning&#8230;What&#8217;s your last name? Moaning&#8230;Do you have any kids?&#8221;</p>
<p>Yeah I don&#8217;t even know how to describe that. It was disturbing. Like a quiz show with sex. Let&#8217;s just move on.</p>
<p>All right time for the sleepover to end. Everybody out of the house!</p>
<p>Snooki seriously denying that she smushed? Come on.</p>
<p>Oh Sammi and Jenni working together with Vinny. Good times.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Beast.&#8221; If JWoww does become a professional wrestler, the Beast is a pretty good name for her.</p>
<p>Even the owner of the gelato store knows something is up between the two of them.</p>
<p>Sammi tells the gelato dude that Jenni is crazy. Ok then.</p>
<p>JWoww or Sammi. My money&#8217;s on JWoww.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have to look at an ugly beast all day. And I&#8217;m sick. This is the worst day of my life.&#8221; Really, Sammi, this is the worst day of your life? I don&#8217;t even think it&#8217;s the worst day you&#8217;ve had on the show.</p>
<p>Going out again? This is three nights out in one episode. I think that&#8217;s a record.</p>
<p>Jose calls Angelina and says &#8220;Behave.&#8221; Who is this guy, Austin Powers?</p>
<p>Of course Angelina will not behave. Duh.</p>
<p>&#8220;Basically any which way Angelina looks she can get any guy she wants so tonight? Probably a good night.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nothing like going third person, Angelina. Well played.</p>
<p>Wouldn&#8217;t it be CRAZY if she hooks up with Vinny? I mean, who could ever expect such craziness?</p>
<p>GETTING READY MONTAGE.</p>
<p>Is that Vinny doing pushups? I think so.</p>
<p>CABS ARE HERE!!!!</p>
<p>Snooki and Jenni staying in. So of course Snooki invites Dennis over. Ok then.</p>
<p>Ok covering themselves in garbage bags to disinfect the community smush room is pretty hilarious.</p>
<p>I cannot even imagine cleaning that room knowing what went down in there. Literally and figuratively.</p>
<p>&#8220;Magnum wrapper!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Vinny&#8217;s!&#8221;</p>
<p>Good for them for cleaning that. I would have hired a professional.</p>
<p>First time Snooki has ever made a bed? I mean, seriously? Who doesn&#8217;t make a bed?</p>
<p>So Jenni wants to know if Dennis has any hot juicehead friends but doesn&#8217;t want to hook up? Lame.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s gangster. I&#8217;m a guidette. You don&#8217;t say mommy.&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m so glad we got to see Snookie&#8217;s pre-smush regime. Including lotion on the butt. Ok then.</p>
<p>Snooki puts on her bling glasses. I guess so she can&#8217;t see how ugly Dennis is.</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s Dennis. And his grenade based on the sound effect. Nice touch.</p>
<p>ARE YOU KIDDING ME THERE&#8217;S A SPECIAL EPISODE OF JERSEY SHORE ON SUNDAY? I HAVE TO DO ANOTHER LIVE BLOG ON FOOTBALL DAY???????? I HATE YOU MTV.</p>
<p>&#8220;Marco is a grenade, grundle, choad.&#8221;</p>
<p>Wow he really is that ugly.</p>
<p>And here comes Jenni. And there goes Jenni.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m drinking my horny goat weed gonna masturbate and go to bed.&#8221; Ok then. And yes, I googled horny goat weed. That sounds even dirtier. Moving on.</p>
<p>Snooki taking action. Getting rid of the grenade and getting her man. Go Snooki.</p>
<p>Sammi looks like she&#8217;s having fun at the club.</p>
<p>And Situation showing off the abs. Again.</p>
<p>FIST PUMPING!</p>
<p>Angelina hammered.</p>
<p>ANGELINA AND VINNY MAKING OUT IN THE BACK OF THE CAB. NO WAY. I TOTALLY DID NOT SEE THAT COMING. I TOTALLY DID NOT SEE THAT IN THE PREVIEWS FROM LAST WEEK. I AM STUNNED.</p>
<p>&#8220;These two people. They hate each other. Go figure.&#8221; Situation&#8217;s assessment. C+.</p>
<p>&#8220;Angelina thinks like a guy so she wants to get laid. Vinny is a guy so he wants to get laid. That&#8217;s Miami for ya.&#8221; Pauly D.&#8217;s assessment. A+++</p>
<p>Who was it who just said &#8220;Can we stop so Vinny can buy a Fossil watch to try to get in there.&#8221; HILARIOUS.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t decide if I&#8217;m horrified or amused by the Vinny/Angelina thing. I mean, really, who didn&#8217;t see it coming?</p>
<p>Snooki smushing in the smush room.</p>
<p>Vinny must be playing her.</p>
<p>Pauly D. so confused: &#8220;Vinny gave Angelina the Staten Island Dump name.&#8221;</p>
<p>Oh damn there&#8217;s the reach for the condom. This is really happening.</p>
<p>&#8220;Vinny&#8217;s cute. I&#8217;m down for it. I don&#8217;t care.&#8221;</p>
<p>Not 30 minutes ago Angelina was saying, &#8220;Vinny is ugly&#8221; and &#8220;I hate him.&#8221; Ah, reality tv.</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re both from Staten Island, bro. It goes without saying.&#8221;</p>
<p>Oh come on Ronnie you needed to see that for yourself? Don&#8217;t you have your own smushing to do?</p>
<p>&#8220;Yo Vinny! Why don&#8217;t you check the Staten Island Dump cuz I heard you like to visit it this time of year! Hahahahahahahaha.&#8221;</p>
<p><em><strong>Next on Jersey Shore: </strong></em>Vinny&#8217;s family visits from Staten Island. DTF. Angelina is a hypocritical whore.</p>

Tuesday night I had back to back fantasy football drafts and managed to survive relatively unscathed. Or not. I can&#8217;t even tell anymore. Here’s the rundown on both teams.

<p>Tuesday night I had back to back fantasy football drafts and managed to survive relatively unscathed. Or not. I can&#8217;t even tell anymore. Here’s the rundown on both teams.</p>
<p><em><strong>6 p.m. EDT – Girls Guide Pro</strong></em></p>
<p>This is a 14 team league comprised of women who work in the sports industry (hence, the term “pro”). Online draft through Yahoo! Sports. QB, RB, RB, RB/WR, WR, WR, TE, K, D/ST. 10<sup>th</sup> pick.</p>
<p><em>Bad Idea Jeans</em></p>
<ol>
<li>(10)      Andre Johnson (WR-HOU)</li>
<li>(19)      Reggie Wayne (WR-IND)</li>
<li>(38)      Jonathan Stewart (RB-CAR)</li>
<li>(47)      Knowshon Moreno (RB-DEN)</li>
<li>(66)      Matt Ryan (QB-ATL)</li>
<li>(75)      Vernon Davis (TE-SF)</li>
<li>(94)      Ricky Williams (RB-MIA)</li>
<li>(103)      Devin Aromashodu (WR-CHI)</li>
<li>(122)      Darren McFadden (RB-OAK)</li>
<li>(131)      Chad Henne (QB-MIA)</li>
<li>(150)      San Diego D/ST</li>
<li>(159)      Toby Gerhart (RB-MIN)</li>
<li>(178)      Devery Henderson (WR-NO)</li>
<li>(187)      Matt Prater (K-DEN)</li>
</ol>
<p>I sort of hate this team. I’m going to try and swing a trade involving Reggie Wayne and one of my RBs for a stud RB if I can. He was still there at 19. I had to take him.</p>
<p><em><strong> 7 p.m. EDT – Law Firm League</strong></em></p>
<p>This is my longtime law firm league (yes, I was a lawyer in my previous life). 12 teams on CBS Sports (yeah I know, I’ve been trying to get them to move, but to no avail). QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, K, D/ST. .5 PPR. 16 rounds. 6<sup>th</sup> overall pick.</p>
<p><em>Heisman Strippers</em></p>
<ol>
<li>(6)      Andre Johnson (WR-HOU)</li>
<li>(19)      DeAngelo Williams (RB-CAR)</li>
<li>(30)      Pierre Thomas (RB-NO)</li>
<li>(43)      Dwayne Bowe (WR-KC)</li>
<li>(54)      Kevin Kolb (QB-PHI)</li>
<li>(67)      Mike Wallace (WR-PIT)</li>
<li>(78)      Reggie Bush (RB-NO)</li>
<li>(91)      Jerricho Cotchery (WR-NYJ)</li>
<li>(102)      Zach Miller (TE-OAK)</li>
<li>(115)      Toby Gerhart (RB-MIN)</li>
<li>(126)      Mohamed Massaquoi (WR-CLE)</li>
<li>(139)      Jason Campbell (QB-OAK)</li>
<li>(150)      New York Giants D/ST</li>
<li>(163)      Kareem Huggins (RB-TB)</li>
<li>(174)      Devery Henderson (WR-NO)</li>
<li>(187)      Matt Prater (K-DEN)</li>
</ol>
<p>This is an interesting team. I don&#8217;t love it, but I don&#8217;t hate it. Note on the name: other contenders were Corn on the Kolb and Bowe-die, DeAngelo and Wallace. I really wanted to pay tribute to The Wire, but decided to go Heisman Strippers.</p>
<p>At this point, I just want the season to start so that I can stop second-guessing my draft picks and start second-guessing my start/sit decisions.</p>

<p>Shortly after arriving in Minneapolis on Friday afternoon, I discovered that it was going to be much colder than forecast and I was hopelessly ill-prepared for the weather. Since I was going to the game that night at outdoor Target Field (more on that later), I needed a fleece. Where to go in Minneapolis in such a time of need? Target, of course.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 235px"><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" title="1962 Joe Mauer at Target" href="http://ocdchick.com/flickr-photos/photo/4962051149/1962-joe-mauer-at-target.html"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4130/4962051149_ac635687de.jpg" alt="1962 Joe Mauer at Target" width="225" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">1962 Joe Mauer Statue at Target Downtown Minneapolis</p></div>
<p>As I approached the flagship downtown Minneapolis Target store (conveniently located just around the corner from my hotel), I saw a statue in front. A statue of a baseball player. A statue of a catcher. A catcher with sideburns. Who could it be? Who else? Joe Mauer.</p>
<p>I naturally had to find out more about this Joe Mauer statue and did a little research (what did we do without the internet?). Here&#8217;s what I found out. In honor of the Minnesota Twins&#8217; 50th Anniversary, life-sized statues of 2009 American League MVP and Twin for Life Joe Mauer will be stationed all around downtown Minneapolis.</p>
<p>Each statue represents a different season in the Twins&#8217; history. The statues contain photos, stats, Twins awards and other fun information about the year it represents. Mauer&#8217;s glove also shows which Twins (if any) won a Gold Glove award that season.</p>
<p>In addition to three Twins games at Target Field and a day at the Minnesota State Fair, I embarked on a weekend long project I called Joe Mauer Statue Spotting. I was saddened to learn that the official name of the endeavor is <a href="http://www.downtownmpls.com/notices/twins-around-town">Twins Around Town</a>. The statues will eventually be auctioned off for charity.</p>
<p>There may be as many as 50 statues (depending on whether sponsors can be secured). For now, there are 14 and I found them all. Special thanks to my friends <a href="http://www.thosegirlsbaseball.com">Sarah</a> (Oh It&#8217;s Those Girls) and <a href="http://twitter.com/clubhousegal">Stasia</a> for aiding and abetting my obsession.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a slideshow of the photos of all the Joe Mauer Statues/Twins Around Town. You&#8217;ll see that I spent more time photographing certain ones than others. Some were taken at night; some during the day. Overall, they are pretty cool. Although a few of them do look a little bit creepy.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a list of the Twins Around Town and some information about the Joe Mauer Statues and their respective sponsors:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>1961:</strong> Sponsored by Mortenson Construction located at Nicollet Mall and 4th Street. 1961 was the Twins&#8217; first season in Minneapolis.</li>
<li><strong>1962:</strong> Sponsored by Target. Located at the Downtown Target Store, Nicollet Mall and 9th Street. Target&#8217;s first store opened in Roseville, MN in 1962.</li>
<li><strong>1963:</strong> Sponsored by Macy’s located at the Downtown Macy’s Store, Nicollet Mall and 8th Street. Macy&#8217;s is formerly a Dayton&#8217;s Department Store, and a new Dayton&#8217;s opened in downtown St. Paul in 1963.</li>
<li><strong>1987:</strong> Sponsored by Star Tribune located at Target Center, First Avenue and 6th Street. This one&#8217;s easy: the Twins won the World Series.</li>
<li><strong>1992:</strong> Sponsored by HealthPartners. 1992 was the year that HealthPartners was formed (as a result of a merger).</li>
<li><strong>2000:</strong> Sponsored at Nicollet Mall and 5th Street. Sponsored by Periscope, the Twins  advertising agency of record, this statue celebrates 40 years of Twins baseball.</li>
<li><strong>2002:</strong> Sponsored by Minneapolis Convention Center/Meet Minneapolis located at the main entrance of the Convention Center. This statue represents the year the Twins emerged as contenders in the American League Central Division, winning its first of many division titles.</li>
<li><strong>2004:</strong> Sponsored by Brookfield Properties located at City Center, Nicollet Mall and 7th Street. Again, no idea about the relationship between Brookfield and 2004 (or even what Brookfield is).</li>
<li><strong>2005: </strong>Sponsored by FMP Brands. This statue was the most blatantly commercial of all of them. Also Mauer looks like the Terminator.</li>
<li><strong>2006:</strong> Sponsored by Best Buy located at Gate 6 Target Field. You knew Best Buy had to sponsor at least one of these, right? Best Buy celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2006.</li>
<li><strong>2007:</strong> Sponsored by U.S. Bank located at Nicollet Mall between 8th and 9th Streets.</li>
<li><strong>2008:</strong> Sponsored by Land O’Lakes located at Peavey Plaza, Nicollet Mall and 11th Street.</li>
<li><strong>2009:</strong> Sponsored by Starkey Sports Consulting located at the Radisson Plaza Hotel Minneapolis, 35 7th Street South</li>
<li><strong>2010:</strong> Sponsored by the Twins, located outside Target Field at Gate 34. 2010 is of course the year the Twins moved into brand new Target Field.</li>
</ul>
