It didn't occur to me until after the press conference today, but with all the talk about Molitor not having any managerial experience and all the plaudits being throw TK's way, I wonder if there has been any talk about having TK on Molly's staff. I would think they would want someone with some managerial experience to lean on occasionally, and Molitor and TK would seem to get along awfully well. Does that make sense to anyone besides me?

Aaron and John start the podcast at New Bohemia talking about the the weird way that the news broke that Paul Molitor will be the next Twins manager and what it might mean, then run into a guy with a World Series ring, then find out he used to play with Molitor, then talk to the guy, then talk more about Molitor, and then argue about LaTroy Hawkins and Matt Capps for twenty minutes. So, basically, pretty much just like every other episode. You can listen by downloading us from iTunes, Stitcher or find it atGleemanAndTheGeek.com.

I would really love to do that. I don't think we can this year, but stay tuned. I would love to creates a series of these and provide that option. I might talk to you more about this offline. -

Aaron and John take the podcast to the brand new LynLake Brewery and talk about the Twins' lack of spending, Parker Hageman's lengthy interview with Terry Ryan for the TwinsCentric Offseason Handbook, how Ron Gardenhire's exit probably happened, the value of outfield defense, fans going from frustrated to angry, playoff payrolls, imagining the Twins as the Vikings, and mailbag questions from listeners.

Prepping for the weekend? You aren’t prepared until you do you homework on Vikings Journal: After he admitted smoking “a little weed,” is there a timeline for Adrian Peterson playing this year with the Vikings? Should there be? Just how much more can coach Mike Zimmer take? And yet, somehow, it appears the Vikings got lucky this weekend. Want a breakdown of individual Vikings performance this year? How about a breakdown of NFL and Vikings players arrests? Meanwhile if you’re looking for the same great discussion on the Vikings that you find for the Twins, start at the Vikings Journal forum. You can even use your Twins Daily login. Image courtesy of Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports View full article

Just an fyi - we did try a printed version back in our first year. The publisher told us we had to price is at $25 or so, if I recall, because of their printing and shipping costs. They wouldn't sell it for less. So we might be able to do it, but it would cost you a ton. Maybe it would be worth it to some. They would certainly be an interesting collectible. -
We have the same great analysis and discussion at Vikings Journal that you have come to expect at Twins Daily. Check out: What, specifically, did Teddy do right on Sunday? The Vikings have an EXCELLENT cornerback. Can you name him? What are the odds of “hitting” on a draft pick? Speaking of the draft, what college running backs should the Vikings be watching? Teddy has recovered from an injury in record time before….. All that and lots more. If you're a Vikings fan, Vikings Journal needs to be in your daily rotation. View full article

Ron Gardenhire Out As Twins Manager
John Bonnes replied to Parker Hageman's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Looking over Gardenhire's record, he didn't have his first losing season until his sixth season as manager. And he didn't have his second until his 10th season as a manager. He also one Manager of the Year once, but finished second five times and third another time. That's seven Manager of the Year top three finishes in 13 seasons. -
Olbermann: Firing Gardenhire a "cowardly act" by Ryan

Just found the name: Dick Martin. -
Olbermann: Firing Gardenhire a "cowardly act" by Ryan
John Bonnes replied to Parker Hageman's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I think Will is referencing the dismissal a decade ago of the Twins longtime trainer. I'm completely blanking on the name of the trainer. Will wrote about that at the time, and it happened under some weird circumstances. We never really found out why other than Ryan saying something like "He knows what he did." -
Ron Gardenhire Out As Twins Manager
John Bonnes replied to Parker Hageman's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I'm surprised, as the podcast which we did last night (and which will be posted soon) will make clear. -
Fantastic. I can't believe Dan stayed in there for the second pitch.
