On Steroids, Sex, Gambling, and Drugs… Can we just get over it?

Random Thought
So, it appears Crede is finally going on the DL. They are bringing up Jose Morales and outrighted Phil Humber to AAA. So, my crazy thought: They still need a roster spot for Rauch/Mahay on both the 25- and 40-man rosters. With Morales coming up, does that mean that Mike Redmond is going to be done? I know, it’s crazy. But would it really be bad for this team?

Today in “WTF?!”
So, I was looking through my fantasy league’s results, when I happened across a certain box score. I was flabbergasted. Here’s what I saw (I’ll let it speak for itself): I don't know how you do this, but Danks must be amazing. Have a good night! More Twins baseball tomorrow, but I don’t know what chance we have in this divisio

Beating a dead horse, er, Joe Crede, and the winter of my Cabrera discontent.
I posted yesterday on the utterly inane strategy that the Twins have taken with regard to Joe Crede’s health, namely that they have refused to put him on the DL to rest and rehab despite the fact that he has missed between 3 and 6 days every two-week period all season, excluding the last two weeks in which he has missed 8 so far (I checked). By and large, this horrible strategy hasn’t hurt the Twins, as they have never really done much pinch-hitting to begin with, so eliminating a pinch-hitting option wasn’t that big of a deal. However, last night that came tumbling down. In the eighth inning, Orlando Cabrera strongly disagreed with a check-swing call

The Problem with Joe Crede – has really been better than a poke in the eye?
So, I have been mostly absent this summer. However, I do have good reason. As a law student, I worked for a government agency part time this summer, and part of the contract I signed at the beginning at my summer specified that I could not do any of several online activities, and included in those was “writing for websites, whether for profit or not, whether administered by the employee or not.” I bent the rules a couple times in order to bring you all a couple posts, but I decided in August that it was no longer worth risking my job/future career prospects to bring you juicy Twins gossip, especially since I have made no attempt to hide my identity on this page.
