By Nick N.(noreply@blogger.com) Since I know Bill Smith reads this blog and is wondering what I'd like for my birthday (today is the big 2-4), a contract extension for Joe Mauer and a new second baseman would suffice.

By Scot The 2.5-year-old took an active interest in the games. He even, in a moment of anger, called his mother a Derek Jeter.

By Aaron(noreply@blogger.com) At the end of the day the Twins simply need to improve, not because they lost a best-of-five series, but because they won 87 games in baseball's worst division after going 88-75 in 2008 and 79-83 in 2007.

By Scot It was telling that the “legend” who got the loudest applause during the ceremony was Joe Mauer, with perhaps Jason Kubel in at a close second.
