It's been a slow week in Twins news, but we still found some things to talk about in episode 9. Eric talks about Twins related items that he's trying to acquire from Ebay for less than a quarter (shipping included) and why he hates the St. Louis Cardinals. We discuss JIm Rantz' pending retirement and what it means for the club and check in on the Twins players down in the Arizona Fall League, among other things. We also bring you a couple new beer selections and weigh in on the loveliness of Delmon Young's mustache.

You can follow Eric on Twitter (@ERolfPleiss) or read his writing at the Knuckleballs Blog.

You could be Twins tickets for a quarter. Don't know about free shipping, though.
