There isn't a team yet that's played well for an extended period of time. Twins got hot against Boston and fell on their face. Sox got hot against the Twins and fell on their face. It's actually starting to look like the five Central teams are built well enough to beat each other up...but then get them out of the division and it's a crap shoot. “The Twins are in it by default.”

That’s a harrowing stat for the Twins, with an open-air ballpark being built for 2010.

I told him that just because it's Father's Day doesn't mean he didn't have to clean his room. I had to mow the lawn, do the dishes, wash the clothes, wash the car, and make supper so believe me I worked a heck of a lot harder than Boof Job did today, and I am a father.
