I wrote this piece in September, changed a few things, commented on others: As we look at the end of the Minnesota Twins' 2007 season, there are some bright spots that we hope will carry over. Some things are near locks such as Jason Kubel's strong finish has probably assured him the 2008

So, What's The batting order? The Twins went from having a team with 6-lead-off men, to having a team with... none!! If I wereRon Gardenhire and I had to use the team I had today: C-Joe Mauer 1B-Justin Morneau 2B-Brendan Harris SS-Adam Everett 3B-Mike Lamb LF-Jason Kubel CF-Michael Cuddyer

This is my favorite time of year. For a person who updates rosters on his video games like crazy, all of these potential moves make me salivate (sorry for the gross image). I'm not just talking about the Twins. There are many free agents that could go anywhere and it's just fun to watch.

A local Minnesota news station reported last night that Torii Hunter and the White Sox were close to signing a long-term deal. They seemed to assume that just because of the trade yesterday in which the Sox acquired ...

Like other all-time rosters and probably a dumber reason to make a roster than most of the teams but here it is anyway. It's another quirky roster brought to you by Manny Stiles. Last names of the players are also last names of U.S. Presidents. There was no need for a Vice Presidential roster as

If you're wondering how someone who writes about the Tigers can go a week without posting while so much has been going on in Detroit, I say to you; marijuana is only a gateway drug in that it leads you to laziness. Now, let's get down to business. Bling bling The Tigers got the offseason rolling not [...]

The Twins and Chicago Cubs have been discussing a trade that would send left fielder Craig Monroe to Minnesota for a player to be named, and an announcement could come as soon as today, the Star Tribune has learned.

Rookie right-hander Kevin Hart will be added to the Cubs 25-man playoff roster, while veteran left-hander Will Ohman and outfielder Craig Monroe were both left off. "I have a chance to pitch in October," said Hart, who was called up from Double-A Tennessee in September. "That's something you dream of since you were a little kid." Those were the biggest surprises of Tuesday night's ...

Holy shit, the Cubs are in the playoffs. Forgive me as I embody some of the 'obnoxious Cubs fan' stereotype, but this is an event that happens about, say, 13 times a century. The ‘07 team had a wild ride, from 22-31 on June 1st to a Division Championship. Unlike the other playoff teams [...]
