nelly...(sniff!)...

you're a bit on the grumpy side, and understandably so...the rays are "running away" with the east, and we have a real shot this year of no red sox or spankees in the playoffs for the first time since 134 BC.

boo hoo!

good pitching, fundamentals, and a .314 team BA with RISP will do that!

East: Rays
West: Angels
Central: White Sux
Wild Card: Twins

What a line up!

so upshaw was the yassir arafat of the NFL, huh?

yes, you have thanked me smartass...but admittedly, big papi was doing nothing when he was a twin. it was understandable under the circumstances that we jettisoned him. he definitely need a change of scenery and a few closed door appointments with Kirk Radomski to give his career a proverbial shot in the ass...

you win some, you lose some. the twins haven't fared too bad in recent years: getting Johan Santana for Jared Camp? Joe Nathan, Francisco Liriano and Boof Bonser for AJ Pierzynski? Nah...we do alright.
