  • Great Zamberletti/Viqueens story on Greet Machine (see the sidebar link). "No pancakes."

    Maybe the Twins need to lose their pancakes too.

  • SBG

    Anyone interested in writing about the Twins minor league system?

    • Couldn't we just trade for Seth?

      Given my inability to finish my OTG series, I'm sure a bunch of us deadbeats could be packaged and shipped out for Seth, plus cash and other considerations. (And the obligatory PTBNL.)

      That would be another interesting series...take a look at all the various PTBNL's and see if anyone panned out.

      • SBG

        That's like trading for Steinbrenner or something. Hard to trade for another team's owner, although I don't consider us competing against any other Twins blog.

        What I was thinking was for an off-season project, evaluating the 2007 season and perhaps the last several drafts. Baseball-reference has a new minor league page that is dynamite and could be the source of a lot of good articles.

        • Good point about Steinbrenner, although it would be a bold Mark Cuban-like coup. I wrote this primarily as a compliment to Seth who does such a great job with the Twins and the minor leauge stuff.

    I'm done with my big project (time to reacquaint myself with my family... turns out I have kids!).

    One vent right now:

    Dear NFL and NFL.com,

    Your league has at most sixteen games a weekend. How berting hard would it be to make sure that all 16 scores show on your main home page at the same time? MLB.com will sometimes have 18 games in a single day (doubleheaders and whatnot), yet they manage to show all scores on their main page at the same time, without having to scroll a stupid bar back and forth.

    Sincerely,
    AMR

    PS. I wish I could quit you.

  • The last time Scott Baker faced the Royals, he had all the ingredients for a perfect game up until the ninth inning. The left-hander will try to dominate Kansas City once again when he takes the ball for the Twins at 7:10 CT tonight.

    What's wrong with this mntwins.com caption? Hint: the pitcher in the picture is throwing a ball with his right hand.

  • I'm disappointed to have heard nothing from the futbol fans here about the Women's World Cup. The U.S. rallied for a 2-2 against North Korea in their first pool play game yesterday/last night.

    Call me crazy, but I think it is pretty odd that the U.S.'s 4-team group just happens to have 3 of the world's top 5 rated squads in it (U.S. is 1; Sweden 3; N.K. 5 and the 4th team is African champion Nigeria). What's up with that???

    • the world hates America, thats whats up Razz

      I heard the Team USA coach talk about his pool a few weeks back, and said that the North Korean team would be a tough match because fo thier quickness
      I guess he was right

  • maybe its been showing up for a long time, but when did these blogs entrys appear on the right hand side of the page?
    If its something new, I like it

  • I thought I'd get the party started... guess who is at it again? Gleeman's head might melt over this one.

    It seems strange to apply the concept of evolution to people without teeth, but Walz proves his own hypothesis. He's an exceptional skater and fitness freak who has survived since his NHL debut in 1989 even though he scores about as often as a sports blogger.

  • And just so it's clear, I didn't know NOTHING about that blunt in the ash tray or the gun in the back seat. Why do I have to have valid tags again?

    On the bright side, mebbe Stern is too distracted by the whole Donaghy thing to summarily execute Shawne.
