There are now fewer than 100 home games left for the Twins before they move into their new Target Field (which, as you all agreed in the previous thread, is sorely in need of a good nickname). As such, well, it’s maybe time to start getting a little nostalgic about the big sterile circle. Fasolamatt sent us down the path with this link to a story about Shea Stadium, where everything mutt go as the Mets prepare to move into their new digs — including the foul poles. The early-morning question is this: what piece of memorabilia would you love to have from the Dome? Maybe you want a blue bucket seat. Maybe you’d rather have a name plate. Think big (home plate) or small (an “F” from a Field Fare sign). But think long and hard about it because the time is not too far away.

The best news of the day for local sports teams: The headline on the front of the NOTC today, “An Expanding Crisis,” was not about the Vikings and their QB situation, but rather about Wall Street and the economy going into the tank. Yea!

Best nugget from a local sports story: the fact that the Twins’ Class AAA team scored five runs in four innings off of the same starter (Scott Lewis) who shut out the Twins last night for six innings.

Best news we’ve heard today: Liriano is pitching tonight.
