Colon!

I don't normally give exclamation points for losses, but Colon was his old, fat, brilliant self last night again. We didn't lose because of him.

The Red Sox scandal has baseball talking so much more. I can't wait to see how this compares to deflate gate. Those New England teams and their cheating...

Brock Osweiler

Do you remember a couple years ago when Osweiler led the Broncos to the playoffs when Manning was hurt? Manning came back and won the Super Bowl that year.

This year, Osweiler signed a huge contract with the Browns taking Jonny Football's place as the Cleveland QB.

Well, guess what? The Browns cut Osweiler before this season began still owing him about $15 million in guaranteed money over the next 4 seasons.

The Broncos took advantage of that, re-signing Osweiler to a one year deal worth $775,000. The Browns will have to pay him the rest.

So the Broncos basically borrowed Osweiler to the Texans and Browns for a little more than a season and then got him back at a bargain basement price.

Elway, the Bronco's GM is looking more and more like a business genius. Even if Osweiler is a complete bust, he's not costing the Broncos anything.

With the Twins now in a fade pattern themselves, I'm kind of getting pumped for football.

Go Vikings!!

Twins Clobbered

Disappointing Starting Pitching

You just KNEW the Twins were going to lose last night. Gee was awful in the first, worse in the second, and then collapsed early in the third.

On a brighter note, the 50 home runs the Twins hit in August were the most home runs any Twins team had ever hit in August before.

It's not the batting that's letting us down.

Bottom Of the Ninth, Bases Loaded Two Outs...

Plunk!

Kepler hit by the pitch!

Twins Win!!!!
