Some thoughts from the past few days...
- I really hope anyone who is reading this is finding time to watch the Olympics live rather than just seeing highlights here and there. Watching that 4X100 freestyle swim and come from behind to win was absolutely incredible. Even right now as I type I'm watching the men's team gymnastics finals. It really gives you a sense of national pride...
- Glad to see the Twins come back after dropping the final game of the Royals series to take Game 1 from the Yanks. I see Perkins had a little extra motivation after the birth of his baby girl this past weekend. Even Adam Everett, after a huge throwing error on Sunday, comes back with a 2-run bomb to start the scoring on Monday.
- The good news about Livan Hernandez' return to the NL with his start for the Rockies against San Diego on Sunday? His manager still believes in him...somehow. A quote by Rockies manager Clint Hurdle..."His command wasn't sharp...he wasn't able to throw quality strikes on either edge, and the balls were hit hard." He went on to say that his ineffectiveness was a result of not pitching for 12 days. Just profound, an absolutely out of this world description about the game's best batting practice hurler.
- Well, the Five-Tool Performer gave Wrigley17 a run for the money but came up just 1 point short of the league title. An RBI single by D-Lee in the Cubs/Cards game Sunday night put him over the top. I now move on to the underdog bracket, where ending up with one of the top two teams is practically impossible. A formidible start thus far on Monday, scoring 30 points with Rollins getting 2 more AB's before his game is over. I'll have to average around 40 points a day to even have a chance. I had two players (Kinsler & A. Ramirez) with the day off, which is why I'm not reaching my 40-point goal. (Or so I tell myself)

The Olympics, temendous stuff. Found myself yelling and cheering toward the end of some swimming races. Some people on the radio say its boring because they are sports they never see. I think thats what makes it so fun, you only see these sports every 4 years or so, I love it, cant wait for the track and field to start.
Well I think its better if Livan is off for 12 days, when he pitches every 5th, you get it more often. Its too bad someone in the AL didnt get him, we could have roughed him up and got some W's.
Watching Blackburn going for his 10th win tonight, i wonder if Liriano goes on a great run in his last 9-10 starts and gets 8 wins, which is a big stretch, but could it be possible that the Twins could have 6 starters with 10+ wins?
And a tip on making the room inviting-PUT UP TWINS STUFF!!!!!! Im sure they will want to get in there and smack talk with you, haha.
