I'm starting to think the Twins are not a marginal team this year, simply because the outfield looks to be one of the best in the league along with the middle infield being solid. Those two things will make the Twins a club well worth watching this year.
Oh yeah, the Twins are in first place by half a game. What a weird turn of events this is. I'd have given odds the Twins wouldn't be 4 and 0 to start the season.
Allen: Yo, Kintz Kintzler: Yes? Allen: Seen Bull Durham? Kintzler: Yessir! Many times! Allen: Remember what Crash said to Nuke? Kintzler: ??? Allen: Strikeouts are fascist!
I think our discussions are heated enough as it is. Buxton batting third, the Mauer contract, Santana versus Punto... Politics would probably by somewhat tame by comparison.
