Remember when Kevin Garnett took heat for saying game 7 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals against Sacramento was going to be "a war?" Like most, I denounced the statements as deplorable and completely inappropriate. After all, there was a war on! But now that the world is once again at peace thanks to a swift victory over terror, St. Paul Pioneer Press writer Tom Powers couldn't resist such a perfect analogy when talking about Twins outfielder Carlos Gomez."Morneau can pop one over the fence at any time. Gomez is like water torture -- drip, drip, dripping the other team to death."
I can't wait to see Powers at the next black tie journalism event that I will no doubt be attending (this time with an invitation). Our conversation will go like this: "Sir Powers you wordsmith! Your torture analogy tickled my funny bone half to death. Wait til the boys at Guantanamo here about this one!" Then we'll both laugh so hard my monocle will fall out and I'll excuse myself to the gentlemen's room.
