I admit it, this is all my fault

[Brock Beauchamp]

I told the Twins to trade for Nick Punto back in 2003. That caused a series of chain reactions that led to this point.

My bad. Sorry, everybody.

Bastard.

Hey, the way things are looking we may need Punto back in the infield before this season is over.

How dare you.  And here I thought it was because my now wife put on my Twins hat in 2010.  Although it was right before Morneau's concussion....

I wouldn't sweat it, the rotation has mostly been solid so I don't know that Eric Milton would be that much of an improvement.

It's your insistence on trading for Tommy Herr that really put this club in a bind.

And here all along I thought it was when you got them to sign Nishioka. Shows you what I know.

Hey hey hey, I only mentioned Punto. We all know how much I loved Nishioka, too.

[wsnydes]

I don't know.  The foul ball that I caught off of Punto's bat clearly makes this all worthwhile.

My fault for feeding the caterpillars...

I don't believe you for a moment.  The Twins hardly ever take anyone's advice.

Man, I forgot how solid Eric Milton was.  What would we give to have another 26 yo with 1000 MLB innings already (pitched for our Twins).  Twins certainly got the value end of his career.

See, I blame me (it's all about me) for posting over and over they weren't trading Kepler, they wanted depth. For some reason, that seems to be sticking, like, well, something sticky but I'm drawing a blank on a good joke....

I am, at this very moment, wearing the t-shirt Brock designed for the 2016 TD Pub Crawl. It features a pinstriped player with a paper bag over his head.

This seems in vogue once again, and is most assuredly Brock’s doing (but not his fault).

True story. Terry Ryan spoke at a banquet prior to the high school baseball tournament which was right before the draft and had a Q&A session. I had read rumors that we were interested in Tyler Jay. I pleaded with him not to draft him. He drafted him. It's all his fault.

I was at the dome one night when he threw a complete game shutout of the White Sox. When he was on, he could deal.
