Hey Twins fans, the good news is that you no longer have to worry about Santana losing all his starts against the Indians.

I was once demoted back to high school parties when in my freshman year of college, notions were spread that I "couldn't keep it down".

Suffice to say, I ended up just like Scott Baker. Outhouse to penthouse, mother####!

Is it sad that I actually know who most of those guys are?

That's what I get for living in Rochester, the Twins Triple A affiliate.

The fans of the White Sox and Royals would like to welcome the Minnesota Twins to the "snowballs chance in hell" club of the AL Central. If things break just right, one of those teams just might have a shot at finishing second in the division and missing the playoffs, instead of finishing in third in the division and missing the playoffs.

I'm hoping for Summit, Surly, and walleye-on-a-stick at the new ballpark.

Bring in Kent Hrbek as first base coach, no one would dare take a lead.

As a person in a customer related field I have a question. Does Gawker think we are just sheep who will follow no matter what they do to make this site inaccessible? Well they are right, but JEEZUS. I am sorry I have Explorer, but that wasnt my choice! My routine is all fouled up now.

@Christ Sabo: Can't be more than the number of times the SNY booth guys make the "And Damion Easley does it...easily." joke. That one actually cracks me up, and yes, I'm very ashamed of myself.

A buddy told me about a nightmare he had where, during our fantasy baseball draft, the Yahoo rankings got screwed up and Juan Rincon somehow was queued as his first round selection and was then inadvertently drafted.

Not sure what that means for the Twins or my buddy's fantasy season, but I can't take it as anything but a bad omen for either.

White Speed Receiver — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 14:04:15 EDT

@Christ Sabo: 0. And there's also very little truth to the rumor he's wearing a #22 jersey with "Radke" on the back.

Gomez will be a good ballplayer, once he actually learns how to play baseball. Looked like a freshman trying out for the varsity baseball team last year.

Alright, so we're back on IE, but the "Deadspin" logo does not take you back to the front page, and there are no "Next" and "Prev" arrows to navigate between posts.

Delmon Young IS going to be a beast. Right now he's a gap-hitter, but given time he should show some power and be prettay awesome. At least, on "MLB 2007 The Show" he showed this arc--I could be wrong.

I hope Minnesota gets better, too: it's just not October without the Twins getting knocked out of the ALDS.

Also, Boof Bonser...that's a great friggin' name.

Nick Punto, Utility Infielder - Turned back into a pumpkin last year, if pumpkins had a .562 OPS and refused to stop sliding head-long into first base unnecessarily.

So he's got Roberto Alomar disease?
