I've loved him since a friend who watches a lot of minor league ball played by the Portland Beavers told me I should check him out. What a great guy... I guess I will just have to wait until the Yankees inevitably move him out to cheer him on again. and Everett was so funny after that hit in his postgame interview. He just would NOT take credit for hitting it. Just kept saying how it was all luck and good wood and all those cliches. He's a really modest guy.

He was starting to make some sense in the last few weeks but apparently he has had a relapse. Now what in the name of *&$$%*&( would the Twins do with that whining expensive washed-up so and so? He won't shutup if he has to DH. He can't throw out anyone even if he was standing in the infield. He's been terrible with the bat. Amazing how that ol' "I can't do well if I have to DH" excuse makes the rounds in the person of all these washed up, PED using players, Sheffield, RWhite, etc. Further proof that Kruk is an idiot.

I say the only way something like that takes place is if you put a clause in his contract that he doesn't collect a penny of his salary if he bitches even once.

Jim C, there were an awful lot of 'em (Liriano, Mauer, White, Baker for a few days) and I remember counting and I put it on a Strib blog. No time for research right now. “I’m not sure if there really were that many last September.”
