    I remember once Tom Kelly saying he would never rest Kirby Puckett at home; the home fans want to see Kirby Puckett, and they're paying to see Kirby Puckett; Puckett's rest days would all be on the road. Rocco - for better or worse - has his analytics that say when it is the best day/time to rest a Buxton or Correa or Polanco or Kepler (who is insanely popular if you've ever ventured down the right-field line at a Twins' home game) and that player is resting that day, regardless of fans or promotions or anything.

    If the MLB and MLBPA agree on a expanded postseason play requiring "ghost wins," and the Twins are a top seed, does that mean they might end their 18-postseason-games losing streak with a ghost victory?!?

    I was thinking even smaller than that when I read the headline; I opened the article expecting to read about Glenn Williams' 13-game career with the Twins (which included a 13-game hitting streak) before he got injured and retired, having collected a hit in every major league game he played in.

    Bobby Korecky's game was at the Twins' first attempt at the "all-you-can-eat" promotion at the Metrodome. I remember the lines were long and the food options were disappointing - the pre-heated hotdogs in soggy buns; a cup of popcorn; basically Dixie cups of Coke - but I didn't think it was terrible. The issue came with extra innings; they stopped serving after the 9th, and the game went another hour. But who wouldn't be excited about a Howie Clark walk-off??? (The Twins owned up to the failed experiment of AYCE, and offered everyone free tickets to another game that season.)

    My heart goes out to the part-time stadium and gameday employees, many of whom are retired or handicapped and use these games to supplement social security. Cities with taxpayer-funded stadiums need to consider lawsuits against MLB owners for loss of income for these employees, not to mention the business around stadiums losing revenue.

    Cities with publicly-funded stadiums should sue the teams' owners (if any games are canceled) for lost revenue on behalf of: residents who work at the stadium; surrounding bars, restaurants, parking ramps, public transport; and city taxes list on sales and income.
