If I can't watch the game - did it really happen?
A new rule, games not available to be watched locally should not count against the team. So today's game (I have my fingers in my ears so I can't hear all the runs that were scored) was simply exercise for the Blue Jays (and they got a bunch, didn't they?). ....mumble , mumble, Jays tied team record for most runs scored in an inning........ can't put fingers in ears far enough to keep all the runs out....LNP gets a hit, then is thrown out stealing (I've heard this somewhere before)...... da, da, da, and we were resting RonDL after he appeared in what, 2 games?!?.......mumble, mumble, mumble; and the non-Kubel ends the game by striking out LOOKING - dead silence.

If you close your eyes you won't see it comming.
The “it” here is the parade of mediocrity that Terry Ryan is going usher in from the minors to distract us from the real problem with the Twins. We will soon see Brian Buscher with his .300 BA and whopping 6 triple A home runs stepping in to plug that inconvenient hole at third base. We all knew that Punto had a career year last season and at age thirty you don’t look for another from an established utility player. The answer of course was to fill this hole with a guy having enough pop in his bat during the off-season. Punto was a feel good story that most twins fans could swallow because of the remote possibility he could duplicate his offensive numbers from last year. Keeping Punto at third as a starter was a reasonable choice for Ryan because Nick was cheap and there are more important issues with core talent to resolve. Thanks to the clever piranha campaign Nick would still put some meat in the seats. Line up Denard Span, the parade has just began.
