CRF

Pretty surprising, and probably very telling, that he isn't on the DR roster. I guess no one was interested after his little "showcase".

I really don't like the word "hate". I probably hate the word "hate", more than I could ever hate any team. That being said, there are two teams that I dislike immensely. The NY Yankees, and the Dallas Cowboys. I grew up in the NY/NJ metro area, and as kid, I had Yankees this and Yankees that thrown at me constantly by relatives and friends. I ALWAYS root against them. That's why I was a Mets fan. When I moved to Mn, my dislike of the Yankees grew even more. As for the Cowboys, I was a NY Giants fan and Dallas always kicked the snot out of the Giants, when I was a kid. The strange thing is...I liked and respected Tom Landry a great deal. Fantastic coach, and he got done dirty by Jerral, which was an absolute shame. When it comes to attending games, the two worst experiences myself and my family have ever had, were unfortunately here in MN. Once at Target Field, and once at the dome for a Vikes game. Both instances caused by drunk, loud, unruly, offensive, obnoxious idiots. At the Twins game, the offending people were eventually booted out of the stadium. Kudos to the ushers and security there. At the Vikes game, nothing was done, and we ended up leaving because it was unbearable. In all the games I've attended back in NY and Philly, I've never had anything like that happen. No other city either. I know that's amazing, but it's true. I'll never go to an NFL game again, but I love going to Twins games and will continue to do that.

Sign me up! All of that looks good to me.

I'm 100% on board for anything that gets rid of Pagan.

At some point, KIrilloff has to get out there and see if he can play. Hopefully soon. If he hasn't even faced live pitching yet, he's got a ways to go. If Kirilloff can't make it, it'll probably be a different guy every game at first. I kind of like the Julien idea at 1B. That might be a great way to get his bat in the line up.

I think at this point, Jeffers is what he is. A back up catcher and nothing more. I'd hate to have him as the main guy behind the plate. Vazquez is a big improvement over over Jeffers, and over Sanchez from last season.

I'm not a Rocco guy at all, but I don't think there's any way that this FO puts the bag on him. He's exactly what they want. Would I like more of an old school kind of manager, who can use analytics as well as his "gut", and can make adjustments on the fly? You bet I would, but I don't see it happening. That's not the way things are going all across baseball. I'd kill to get someone like Francona as our manager.

Just saw a report on Rotoworld from Do-Hyoung Park, that Gordon has a mild to moderate left high ankle sprain. He was in a boot walking with crutches after the game. Not good news at all.

Wow...I know it's ST and means nothing, but Pagan REALLY has to go.

It is...granny time!

Pagan ritual in progress.

Farmer...tending to his crops!

Looks pretty windy down there.

That was an ugly half inning.

Amen to that, brother.
