…and if you’re from Cleveland, and again and again and again and again and again…

I would say from my own experience that you can never really break up with your hometown franchise that you’ve loved since childhood, no matter how much they’ve disappointed you again and again. And again.

If this analogy were true Joker would have been a Patriots fan long ago.

The thing with relationships is that you can always upgrade. Just don’t let the Misses know that I said that.

I would love to hear Joker’s spin on this analogy, as the RandBall relationship expert. The beauty of sports teams is that you can love as many as you want. They’ll never find out and throw your crap on the lawn.

If you are a pro athlete it is never a good idea to say “I play for team x” it never sounds good.

Yeah, I keep forgetting that Cuddy’s been out, it’s early in the season and he’s missed most of the games, so I’d imagine it’s forgivable to have forgotten about him.

I agree Kubel’s a cheaper, younger, and better option at DH. Besides, he can actually field a position, where sticking Thomas at 1st would be a mistake…

I’m just a little frustrated at the Twins latest flyer on a player that just can’t get it done (Monroe).

Kubel’s the everyday DH when Cuddy comes back and Franky doesn’t want to platoon. Plus Franky is all about Franky. He is better than Monroe but Monroe won’t play when Cuddyer is healthy.

Besides, we know all too well that Frank Thomas can hit homers at the Dome…

Another topic:

Should the Twins make a run at getting Frank Thomas? I mean, really, Craig Monroe is starting to get the “really good guy” syndrome that really means: “Wow, what a nice guy! Too bad he can’t hit. We’ll give him ABs because we like him so much”

Thomas would be the first “true DH” we’ve had in a long time…
