Good Yo
Here is a nice article on what Yo is about and what he has given back.
You read this, and you think, yeah, he should go after all he can because he gives it back to his community.
Wish Carl would pony up.

Bengal stats
Browsing through Blaine's baseball history, I noticed they had the 1992 records up and running.
Figured I'd show you Cardinals what we did to you in 92...

Although you did get lucky and win one in 1991.

2008 Lineup
Interesting names here.
Feels almost like the late 90's Twins.

All-time Twins
This is a fun read. The actual link changes daily, but you can do a simple search to find the Twins rankings. It's really cool to see the write-up, along with the All-Time Twins rank.

Cuddy
As much as I like Cuddy, I'm not sure he is CF material....although his gun is intriguing.

Homeboy
Superbowl homeboy!!!
The Super-freak is finally heading to the Superbowl, but without the purple.
Here's hoping he wins and gets some straight cash homey.

More on Kubel
A little more Kubel for DC....:)
Jason Kubel: While playing in the Arizona Fall League in 2004 Kubel, then 22 and considered one of the best hitting prospects in the game, suffered a devastating knee injury that cost him the entire 2005 season. Although he came back and played in '06 he wasn't remotely the same hitter. Most notably Kubel's post-injury strikeout rate has been much higher -- 147 in 835 PA, versus 193 in 1,770 PA prior to the injury. That's not just a result of playing at higher levels; that's evidence of damage to the engine.
What we saw in '07 was Kubel finally get back to the hitter he was before the injury. In the season's first two months Kubel struck out 33 times and walked 11 in 165 PA. In the next two months those numbers were 21/10 in 148 PA, a big drop in strikeout rate and K/BB. Over the last two months: 25/18 in 153 PA. Kubel, a disciplined hitter coming through the minors, regained that discipline in '07. His batting average and power followed. He's 26 this season and may actually be the Twins' best hitter during it; better than Justin Morneau, better than Joe Mauer.
