First of all, let me refer back to my last post for a moment and let everyone know how happy I am that the Twins didn’t use Joe Nathan on Friday so he’d be available to close out the remaining games of the Texas series. I’m sure glad he got to pitch the eighth inning Sunday and I’m sure the Rangers felt good knowing they increased their lead from 9-0 to 10-0 off him.

For the Twins, it was a good weekend for many of us to be distracted by the NFL draft so that much of the baseball they played was conducted pretty much below radar. I mean, how much anguish can you feel toward a baseball game when the Vikings, of all teams, are drafting a quarterback and people call to ask whether the headlines in the next day’s edition will be something like “Vikings (of all teams!) grab Booty” and making Booty call jokes and your newspaper’s octogenarian sports columnist is thug-walking around the office pretending to be Bubba Sparkxxx.*

So this is probably a good time for a day off. When the next one comes around on Thursday, after a couple of games against the White Sox, I hope we won’t need it so bad.
