. A manager can never win on TD.

I think managers (and umpires) rarely win anywhere.

When the Blue Jays WON back to back World Series in '92 and '93, there was endless criticism of manager Cito Gaston.  Amazing....

Congrats to Polanco on his 100 HR.

I'm curious about Kirilloff.  He's done very well at triple a a few times only to come up to the Twins and see only mediocre results for 2+ seasons.  Is he worth all the hype and consternation about calling him up?  I sure hope so.  This team should call up players if they are better than what they have now.  Maybe Kiriloffs great, or maybe he is just a great triple a player that doesn't quite make it.  I'd sure love to find out.

It's been the wrist. He's come up and hit the ball hard and then diminished as the wrist pain has increased, kind of similar to Trevor Larnach--playing with an injury that suppresses good numbers. This probably justifies slow-rolling his recall and the slow ramp-up he has experienced in his rehab.

Michael A. Taylor is a baseball player. I really have enjoyed having him on the Twins this year.
