  • Game Two In Texas: That There's The Team I Imagined Back In April

    Tonight’s game, along with last Friday’s win in Milwaukee (Bonser’s 11 strikeouts, Hunter’s grand slam), was a blueprint for the kind of team I thought the Twins were going to be coming into the season. Sort of, anyway. It still perplexes me that the guys in the middle of the order are being forced to…

  • Random Stuff From The Weekend In Milwaukee

    You’d sure like to see your team hold a 4-0 lead, particularly since the Twins have had so few early leads of late. And, yeah, Dennys Reyes is the lefthanded specialist out of the bullpen –or was– but he hasn’t done much of anything to justify that position thus far in ’07, and his stellar…

  • Thursday Update: Disgrace By The Lake

  • Blind Man In The Bleachers: A Different Sort Of Lost Weekend

    First of all, let me say this: the new radio home of the Twins sucks. I spent much of the weekend driving. I left Friday night with the game underway, and before I was even properly out of the Twin Cities I had lost KSTP’s signal, and spent the next two hours –headed south along…

  • Broken Record: Breathing Life Into The White Sox, And The Catch

    What? What? What the hell do you want me to say? Everybody and their crazy uncle is out there saying something, saying all manner of ridiculous somethings, and you expect me to shed some fresh light on this baseball team? Forget it. I’ll say this, I guess, even though I’m sure it’s already been said…
