It’s like living in a trailer home, but different.

Cold Omaha Copy Editor "The Dicker" (page 8) demands excellence and this post is a direct result of his hard-work while Cold Omaha was on break.

It seems that Major League Baseball player Reggie Willits and his family live in a batting cage.

Willits bats lead-off and is hitting .337 for the Anaheim Los Angeles California Angels and he credits his wife and his batting cage for his success.

Meet the Twins DH of the near future.

Are you tired of Twins DH Jason Tyner going 0-4 with a sacrifice bunt and never getting the ball out of the infield? Of course you are – he sucks.

But, some time very soon, probably within the next month or so, Ken Harvey is going to be the designated hitter for the hometown nine. He doesn’t bunt, he has a tough time running and he looks like he is going to pass out whenever he runs from 1st to 3rd, but he hits some home runs, can hit for average sometimes, and he usually has decent at-bats. Well, at least compared to some of the other options for the Twins.

Sure, he’s a project, he couldn’t stick with the Royals and he’s prone to injury and he just came back from a torn up knee.

But still…he’s not Jason Tyner. That’s enough for me.

Man at work

I love being away on vacation, but coming back to the grind is a real pain. Let's get through the next couple of days together and then it's July 4.
