I think Rand may have one or two upped Stu’s Huntdown that made the LA Times. A quick glance shows Rand’s EA story mentioned on

The Big Lead
Deadspin
Awful Announcing
The Fanhouse

I think a 13 year old boy in a small village in Northern India just found out what Andrew’s thinks by reading Rand’s interview in the Hindu out of New Delhi.

Congrats Rand, how long before the WWL hires you and puts you in a cube next to Ms. Andrews?

I’m really worried about the depth of starting pitchers at this point. The Twins are covered when it comes to their first 5 starts, but if one of those guys gets injured it’s Bonser, Bass or ??? Not much depth at all in AAA.

I just want to say how proud I am to see our very own RB’s Erin Andrews story all over the blogosphere, nice work RB.

Can anyone confirm my belief that the Twins have control of the aforementioned rotation for the next four years? Now you can see why they passed on Beltre.

Also, did anyone hear that Brett Favre arrived in Green Bay via chartered jet and that the team will now hold an open competition for its starting quarterback job between Favre and some other guy they drafted out of Cal a few years ago?

Isn’t Livan a little more suited for a slow pitch beer league than either baseball or wiffle ball? His change up would be almost an unhittable pitch in slow pitch softball.

JPF:

Just over the wire - 10 Balls and a Plastic Yellow bat have picked up Livan Hernandez for this weekend’s Wifflin’ For Wishes Wiffle Ball Tournament. Livan is reportedly going to receive the league-minimum for his stint with the team (4 bottles of Coors Light and a ham sandwich).

HoSink made a good point (via Dick ‘n Bert): Liriano doesn’t need to be his 2006 self, he just needs to be better than Hernandez. And clearly, he was yesterday.

Holy Beloit is a little more fitting. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

I now believe the Twins will take the division. They still need another right-handed bat, but dont see that happening, so it will be another case of 1 and done.

On the brighter side, now Livan can go with his true calling and become a mean wiffle ball pitcher.

Liriano smelling his arm pit? Gomez smelling his bat? Must be an (b)omen.
