What would Paul Simon Say

The problem is all inside your head he said to me,
The answer is easy if you take it logically,
How can I help you in your struggle to be free,
There must be 50 ways to lose a ball game.

Error on the pick, Nick,
Error on the throw, Joe,
Hit it off the roof, off Boof,
Just listen to me.

No need to rush, Busch
Make Raul hit it foul, Ya'll
50 ways to lose a ball game

It's getting Uggla out there

I hope the Twins don't think it's "all better" just because they're coming home. They really need to raise the level of play if they expect to play in October. This is not the team of destiny as in 1987. Simple defensive gaffs have lost more than a few games. The hits are coming with bases empty. Relief pitching is a joke. Time for Gardy to end his love affair with Punto and Everyday Eddie. I wonder how much Texas would charge us to take him back. Bill Smith, your first year has given us Craig Monroe, Mike Lamb, Brendan Harris, Adam Everett, and Carlos K-mez.

Span, Buscher, Perkins, Slowey, Mauer, Morneau, and Kubel came through our system. Does that tell you anything? Learn from the mistakes. Good luck in September.
