When You Have So Few Big Things To Offer, It's The Little Things That'll Kill You Every Time: Swept In Cleveland, And Done

Well, that was a tough series to watch. A team that we’ve learned to take for granted when it comes to executing the fundamentals of the game and not giving away ballgames has officially become a colossal disappointment.

It would be hard, really, to even know where to start.

I’ll say this, though: Nick Punto’s a good teammate and a fine fielder, but he better spend the entire winter working on his bunting, or his future –such as it is– is as a defensive highlight reel in the Northern League.

It’s almost hard to swallow so much bile on the eve of the Twins’ long-awaited ballpark groundbreaking, and equally hard to swallow the fact that most of the guys who we learned tonight will be skipping tomorrow’s affair –Torii Hunter, Joe Nathan, Johan Santana, and Justin Morneau, among others– likely won’t be wearing Minnesota uniforms when the team actually plays a game in the new park.
