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 [...]

Not only was May 24 the worst loss of the year for the Twins, it also spelled the end of Boof Bonser’s career as a starter in a Twins uniform. I know it seems I am focusing a lot on the nasty losses the Twins were dealt, but honestly, these were the games that forced [...]
