I did not have the privilege of attending this year's Soxfest. But from what I've read about it from people that did, it sounds like the overall mood was extremely positive about this upcoming season. That probably comes as a shock the average baseball fan that has casually followed the Sox this off-season. After an incredibly [...]

From All on the Field sports blog -- The Seattle Mariners won 88 games last season, finishing six games behind the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in Southern California which is on the West Coast of the United States of America. It was a nice improvement on their 78-84 season of 2006, but the

Torii Hunter's successor in center field for the Twins could be Michael Cuddyer. "With Delmon Young in right and Jason Kubel in left," manager Ron Gardenhire said. That's a consideration of Gardenhire's if minor leaguers Denard Span and Jason Pridie can't convince the manager during spring training that they're ready to succeed Hunter, who left for the Los Angeles Angels via free agenc...

Hard times for Minnesota sports fans. The Vikings sputter to a mediocre finish, the Twins are dumping talent left and right, and our beloved T-Wolves are on pace to win 9 games this year. What if losing Torii Hunter does the same thing to the Twins? I guess there's always the Wild. Or Lacrosse, I think we did well in Lacrosse. I'll look that up.
