Pele

Sounds like Livan has a touch of soccer in him...

Punto

Isn't it about time to just give up on him?!?!
He has never been *good*. He had a fairly average season in 2006, and it seemed a hell of a lot better because he sucked in 05. 2007 was a disaster, and now this....Time to try some young new blood.

Gomez

Gotta love Gomez...read his quote about 1/2 way down:

Gomez formally won the job as Minnesota's center fielder and leadoff hitter Monday when competitors Denard Span and Jason Pridie were optioned to Triple-A Rochester before the Twins' 8-4 loss to the Cardinals.
Gomez, who was acquired by the Twins in the deal that sent Johan Santana to the New York Mets, went 1-for-5 with an infield single against St. Louis. He also struck out three times and was caught stealing.
"I feel bad, and I feel good," Gomez said, referring to the mixed emotion of seeing teammates get cut and learning about his appointment. "I hit hard, steal bases, score runs. That's what I do."
Meanwhile, the last roster spot still to be decided for Minnesota involves left-hander Francisco Liriano, who is working his way back from reconstructive elbow surgery. He could stay behind in Fort Myers for more work when the team breaks camp this weekend, which would leave Boof Bonser, Scott Baker, Nick Blackburn and Kevin Slowey in the rotation for the time being behind veteran Livan Hernandez.

Whopping

This is quite possibly the best ass whopping a goalie has ever administered.

It's official....

Gotta like keeping Nathan around, although I wonder if that is the best use of financial resources

Roster

Here's a look at the Twins roster heading up North to take on Torii and the Angels on Monday...

Liriano seems to be a touch goofy:
