If they would have won some games earlier in the season the division would have been wrapped up by the time they played the last west coast road trip Too many games in a season to blame one road trip for not winning the title.

Lighten up on the guy.
He is the Twins’ highest donor.

Why don't we just get Pujols to play 1B, A-Rod to play 3B, Utley for 2B, Rollins for SS, Holliday in LF, Beltran in CF, Ichiro in RF and we can get for our starters, Santana, Peavy, Webb, Lincecum and...David Price just to have a young guy in there. Frickin' moron.

Alex Escobar is represented by the Wasserman Group, not Yunel Escobar. They wouldn't have even had to negotiate anyway really; they could've just minimally increased his salary whether he liked it or not. Fun idea, though. Imagine the heat they'd take if they dumped Yunel or traded him just to prove a point though... can't ever see a team making a move like that, but it'd be entertaining. :) Thrylos,
