Everyone is excited about Adrian Peterson and everyone knows the Gopher football team is terrible. But, the Twins are still playing games and we thought it might be nice to check in on them.Here’s what we know:
Carlos Silva is hurt – he pulled a groin yesterday during the loss to the Royals. Sounds like all those spinning classes with Johan Santana may have backfired.
The Twins are now 10 ½ games back – makes you kind of happy you stopped paying attention, huh?
Justin Morneau hasn’t hit a homerun since August 24. At this point, he could probably use a week or two off.
Matthew LeCroy is inexplicably back up with the big club. He must know some deep dark secrets about Terry Ryan. I would pay $1,000 to see him play nine full innings as a catcher for the Twins this year. The opposing team, pick whichever one you want, would steal at least ten bases off him.
Joe Mauer is playing again and it’s been a few days since anyone has said anything publicly about him changing positions. Let me break that trend: Joe Mauer should change positions.
Jason Kubel is a tease. He hit .364 in August and is hitting .370 in September. He hit .250 before the break.
At some point we are going to stop watching Twins games and focus on something a little more interesting. It’s going to be a long winter without Circle Me Bert signs, but somehow I think we’ll manage.
We’ve been hooked on Big Brother, Rock of Love, and Sopranos reruns on A@E and that has helped ease us off baseball. But we aren’t sure how to spend the cold fall nights in front of the TV. It might be time to turn to Survivor or Kid Nation. Is it too late to get into Heroes? Is it worth even going there at this point?
Well, at least the baseball playoffs will be here in a month and we can listen to Tim McCarver say things like “running the bases well and taking the extra base in the playoffs is important, that’s why guys with great speed are important in the playoffs.”
At least we don’t have to listen to him during Twins games.
