It's April 16, and despite a string of postponements due to an early spring snowstorm, the team is playing well, and flying to Puerto R...

I posted this idea in a discussion thread, but I do think it fits better in the blog section or in its own thread, but chose blog. I will leave the scenario as I posted it in the other thread.

The Twins begin a six game road trip in Texas tonight. I want to get my hasty thoughts down for the upcoming week.
