Greetings once again, lots has happened since my last little blurb so lets get with it.
The Twins are really enjoying the friendly confines of Target Field. Sure didnt take long for the guys to forget about the homerdome. The Twins are doing well as they sit in first place ahead of the Tigers. I am amazed that they are 10-6 on the road to start the year. That is a stat that bears watching as the season moves along. At some point, the pitching is gonna wear down or the offense will cool off. And in the last week I have read that Morneau has missed some games and Mr Mauer has a bruised heel. So perhaps this hot start has proved costly. Lots of baseball left this year but so far the Twins are off to a great start. See I can write something positive Mr Drayer.
Just for fun I took the time to read an article about the most hated teams in baseball. I assumed it was just another article about how much the writer thinks the Yankees suck but as I read further I noticed the Yankees werent the most hated team in baseball. Its the Cleveland Indians. WHAT??????????? What have the Indians done to anyone? Its not like they are winning games and hogging all the postseason hardware. I thought Major League was a great movie. Why the Indians? The Boston Red Sox were second most hated. That didnt surprise me. Red Sox nation is so wrapped up in itself that it has polarized the rest of the baseball world. At least they put an end to the endless talk of steriod use once they were involved. We can at least thank them for that. The Yankees were fifth on the list if you are scoring at home.
I havent taken the time to talk about the NFL draft and the great job the Vikings did. They filled two of their most pressing needs, they drafted a running back to serve as a backup to AP and they got some help in the defensive backfield as well. That is all good, but if our man Mr. Farve would have just came out and said he would be back this year we could have had our pick of all the available free agents and the draft wouldnt have mattered. Tomlinson would have a been a big help. And there were some good corners available to sign as well.
We did get some indication that Farve will be back to play in 2010. Forget about all you have read and think about these facts. First of all the Vikings signed Tavarius Jackson, if Farve wasnt coming back you can bet the Vikes would have been a big player in the McNabb sweepstakes. And, Jackson only got a one year deal, thats not how you would normally treat the guy who is currently #1 on your depth chart. Now Farve and his website are talking about the ankle surgery needed so he can play this season, just like the shoulder surgery last year. If you include the fact that he could be the first grandfather to play in the NFL, there is no doubt in my mind what he is going to do.
Is it just me or Josh McDaniel wanting out as coach of the Broncos? He has been on the job for a year, ran off his two best offensive players and drafted Tim Tebow. He is either a fool or a genius, and this year will tell the tale. If they dont win this year, he will be looking for work.

I still believe McNabb will be in purple and gold next year. Just as Favre played one year in NY as a stopover on the way to Minnesota, so goes the path that McNabb is following. I believe he is in a contract year. There is no room for him here yet. But if he is a free agent next year, there should be an opening after Favre retires for good. Mark my words.

I like the Twins great start. Moreneau is swinging the bat well, Thome is doing better than many people thought, and Liriano pitched so well he was named AL pitcher of the month. But I'm not going to get my 2010 Twins playoff tickets yet. Tigers were in the same position last year. Got off to a fast start then choked down the stretch all the way to game 163.
