i was in and out on saturday, having driven across the great state of wisconsin to get home and then further across the cities to pick up my dogs from my parents place. deduno's outing was being strongly praised by the radio folks, so i was happy. if only he could sustain this kind of play, but his style doesn't really allow for that.

also, morneau had a nice afternoon on saturday. more, please.

no explanation from molitor or management makes me think he was feeling himself a bit. again, if i'm that awesome at 19-20, pretty sure it's going to bleed out a bit. that age isn't known for great decision making and wisdom.

i assume his glove profiles/is worse than dozier. where does that leave us? assuming rosario has the livelier bat, then does that create another deep infield bench "problem" for the twins?

sorry for you and the mrs. losing a pet/friend/fellow couch potato is the pits. luckily, some other unfortunate creature will find a new, far more awesome home soon and learn the tragedy of being a twins fan, i'm sure ... just in time for the Buxton Ascent.
