Glanced at the ESPN mainpage and saw an arctile that said "Edelman arrested for nightclub incident" and thought for a second, well, crap. Then realized it was spelled Edelman not Adelman and also that it said Patriots not Timberwolves.
Sigh, I need basketball to start. And I hope the Twolves don't do anything stupid during the rest of the lockout.
Scott Erickson Attempts To Sell 1994 No-Hitter On eBay
From The Onion
MINNEAPOLIS—Hoping to make a little extra money, former Minnesota Twins pitcher Scott Erickson placed his 1994 no-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers up for sale on eBay Sunday. "It's 17 years old, but I guarantee this game is still 100% hitless," read the listing, which after four days online has received one bid of $4.75. "You get all five strikeouts, four walks, even the six runs my teammates put up in support. Trust me, this is truly a fine game to own." Erickson has set the no-hitter’s Buy It Now price at $2,500.

The Latest on Rubio - from Timberwolves NBA site
David Kahn - The Wolves have received phone calls from teams inquiring about the possibility of a deal for Rubio. At this time, Minnesota holds a variety of options after using the No. 5 overall pick on Thursday night. The Wolves can place Flynn at the point guard spot for the 2009-10 season while Rubio plays one or two more years for DKV Joventut.
"Let me start by saying this. I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t pick up the phone and listen. But that goes for all our players. There’s no one special player. Al knows that and Kevin knows that. As much as I think I hope everyone would like to be here, I would say this: Shaquille O’Neal, who I think may be one of the five best centers of all time, just last season third team all-NBA, will be playing on his fifth team next year. That’s incredible when you think about it. May I add also traded, as the esteemed Bill Simmons would say, for a bag of donuts this week. My point is I think as much as I would like to portray for all of our guys we’re here forever, we all know, myself included, maybe we’re not. You have to answer the phone, you have to listen. But we’re in no mode right now to make any trade," Kahn said.
Today is a sad day...Kevin McHale will NOT be back as head coach next season.
Twins Lineup when Mauer comes back
There is lots of talk about what the Twins lineup should be when Joe Mauer comes back from back problems.
The plan in the past is that we would move the whole order back one and place Mauer in Morneau's current spot to have it look like the most common order from last year with Crede instead of Buscher, and depending on Cuddyer vs. Gomez the back part could reorder.
Span
Casilla
Mauer
Morneau
Kubel
Young
Crede
Punto
Gomez
Now this would be fine, but I think the Twins should instead keep Morneau and Kubel in their current order, 3 and 4 and place Mauer in the 2 spot.
Mauer's Back Information
LEN3 reports today that Mauer has been diagnosed with a Inflammed Sacroiliac Joint and will start taking stronger medication to hopefully solve problem.
Here is where the joint is. Wikipedia - Sacroiliac Joint
