And I wasn't going to do this, initially, but since I am an equal opportunity ripper I suppose I should say something about the Minnesota Twins. How about "man....what a dismal season"? Injuries and/or ineptitude just doomed the season, pretty much from the get-go. It's actually more fun to watch now the Double and Triple A call-ups are up here so we can see what we've got to look forward to in our future. If you look at the current roster, you can name the guys who actually had "decent" seasons on one hand: OF/DH Jason Kubel, All-Everything Michael Cuddyer, P Glen Perkins, maybe 3B Danny Valencia, and OF Ben Revere gets a free pass because he's a rookie and showed some flash with speed and a great glove. Other than that?........pretty much complete horseshit. How does C Joe Mauer, in 2 years, go from a 28 home run hitting MVP, to a $23 million singles hitter with warning track power...supposedly in the prime of his career? 1B Justin Morneau?...he hasn't played in a Twins post-season game since 2006? Those two guys alone account for 1/3 of our payroll, and their diminishing performance DOES NOT justify their hefty paychecks. SS Tsuyoshi Nishioka?........why do I have this sinking feeling that we just paid $10 million dollars for Matt Tolbert jr...?? Good Grief! The season can't end soon enough for me.
