Let's cut to the chase - Jim Bowden is an arrogant, self obsessed ball bag that has no business working in Major league baseball, let alone on a major sports reporting network. We should not have to hear or read his opinions on the Twin's situation or any other ball club. He is an opportunist who has taken advantage of 3rd world country baseball talents and looking back at his past photos from the early-mid 1990's, he dresses like a wanna be 1980's Jet-Set Millionaire (which he most probably is), he most definitely would be the perfect anti-hero in a 1980's John Hughes' Teen Film. He should never be a GM again and if any MLB team hires him in some front office capacity - integrity is not one of their prerequisites. Keep your collar up Jim - Let's rock to some "Flock of Seagulls" in your Frat House.

Love it. Great post.

Although it's not on point, I'm hearing John Candy's soliloquy from Planes, Trains and Automobiles running in the background.

Glad you liked it. Bowden's been bothering me for few years, I had to get it off my chest (his Morneau trade scenarios being the antagonist). PTA is one of my wife's favorite movies and I am a fan too. Also, Twins Fan From Afar - you are doing a great job of keeping us Twin's fans informed with New Britain... keep it coming!
