So, it appears Crede is finally going on the DL. They are bringing up Jose Morales and outrighted Phil Humber to AAA.
So, my crazy thought: They still need a roster spot for Rauch/Mahay on both the 25- and 40-man rosters. With Morales coming up, does that mean that Mike Redmond is going to be done?
I [...]

I posted yesterday on the utterly inane strategy that the Twins have taken with regard to Joe Crede’s health, namely that they have refused to put him on the DL to rest and rehab despite the fact that he has missed between 3 and 6 days every two-week period all season, excluding the last two [...]
The Problem with Joe Crede – has really been better than a poke in the eye?

So, I have been mostly absent this summer. However, I do have good reason. As a law student, I worked for a government agency part time this summer, and part of the contract I signed at the beginning at my summer specified that I could not do any of several online activities, and included in [...]

So, we have arrived at the second half of the season, at least as separated by the All-Star Break. The Twins, as a team, are playing pretty well. If not for injuries/illnesses, there is a very good probability that the Twins could be leading the division right now. Lets take quick stock of what this [...]
Live blog of the All-star game 2009

This is my second All-star game live-blog, and I am hoping it becomes a tradition. As I mentioned earlier, I don’t plan to actually analyze the game per se; the All-Star game is far too strange to do that. But I will give my quick insights.
I wonder how much they had to pay the presidents [...]

I’ll be live-blogging the game, just like last year. Don’t look here for analysis, just my random thoughts.
A favor to ask… Submit Twins Links!

Hey all,
I am finally getting around to the site upgrades I had been promising for months (note the new header image, for starters), and one thing that I need to spend some time on is my blogroll. I need help finding worth-while Twins blogs and sites, because while I spend a lot of time each [...]

Hi!
*waves*
So, when I decided to go to law school, I knew that it would be a ton of work. However, it has been far more than expected over the last few months, especially. It has been quite a while since I last posted, which has resulted in one of the dumber one-word posts I have [...]

So, Friday I got done with work and a meeting and hurried home, excited for a weekend of baseball, specifically for watching the Twins play on MLB Extra Innings, as it was then the free trial time (now I am back to watching on teh computer). Let me tell you what. The weekend was like [...]
Game Wrap: Game 5

Well, this game was much better for my blood pressure than the last few have been. A few highlights:
Tonight was the night of the knuckleballers. Tim Wakefield is pitching in LA as I speak, and he appears anything but sharp tonight. On the contrary, I was very pleased with RA Dickey’s start. He wasn’t perfect, [...]
