Quick Notes

Don Baylor, catching the ceremonial first pitch from retiring Vlad Guerro, broke his leg yesterday on the pitch. Batlor has been battling bone marrow cancer which leaves the bones more brittle..

Vikings head coach, Mike Zimmer, made headlines yesterday by saying Johnny Manziel may be more concerned about being a celebrity than being a winning NFL quarterback, after watching his private workout last week. That didn't earn him many points from Manziel or his people.

The Wolves lost to the Clippers who were missing a couple starters including Blake Griffin. Media people are talking about the possibility of a new head coach for next season.

I know Kurt Suzuki got all the team's RBI yesterday,  but can anyone tell me WHY he's batting SECOND? He is possibly the worst hitter on the team (and on THIS team that's saying a lot) and has no speed, being an old catcher. What is Gardy thinking? That he had success yesterday only means that Gardy will now use him there everyday forever.  sigh

Remember not too long ago when Wilson Ramos was the Twins back up catcher, but we decided to trade him because we had Joe Mauer and we couldn't see needing him or his mega-talents? He's starting and batting cleanup for the Nationals this year. It's enough to make you cry.
