Observations

As difficult as it's been to watch the Twins this season, I thought I'd look at worse things in the world of sports.

The KC Royals won last night, but that snapped a TWELVE game losing streak. As bad as we are up here in Minnesota, for the time being at least, KC is actually BEHIND us in the standings.

How would you like to be the Angels? They invested a quarter of a billion dollars in the greatest free agent of all-time this off-season and he (Albert Pujols) hasn't hit  ONE homerun for them yet this year.

Albert Pujols is hitting .222. He's homerless through 18 games and 72 at-bats. He has fewer RBIs than Chad Tracy, who has started one game all season.

Pujols is supposed to be feared, the baddest dude on the planet, The Machine, built to punish baseballs. Pitchers aren't afraid of him right now. He has fewer walks than Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Michael Brantley, Mark DeRosa or George Kottaras, who is Milwaukee's catcher.

Their BACKUP catcher...
