Beltre Number 3000

I honestly didn't think I'd see another guy get 3,000 hits in my lifetime, but Adrain Beltre proved me wrong.

That's 200 hits a year for 15 years. With today's contracts, and athletes getting so may games off a season, AND the emphasis on good hitters working the count to draw more walks, I thought players with their big-money contracts, would retire before getting that brass ring.

Way to go Adrian! Baseball needs more players like you.

Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is considering coming out of retirement.

Yes, he is the current WWE Universal Champion, but that's just wrasslin' (you know the fake stuff, wink, wink).

No, he's considering getting back into the octagon to go against a man 40 pounds lighter than himself, light heavyweight UFC Champion Jon Jones, who challenged him to a fight after regaining his title last night.

Why?

Big money. BIG, BIG Money.

Brock's contract with WWE runs out soon and it's already rumored that he's taking the regular drug checks to make sure he's not using any illegal substances.

Brock's already said he wants the fight.

Mayweather/McGregor may be the fight everyone is anticipating right now.

But there are an awful lot of WWE and UFC fans that are looking forward to Brock Lesnar's return to the cage.

Count me as one of them.

Both fights should be absolute spectacles.

New Guy Stops Losing Streak!

Jaimie Garcia pitched six good innings last night. The Twins scored. The bullpen was better.

Any win  is a good win. I'm still hoping for a .500 season.

Twins Considering Trades

The Twins know the season is pretty much over. Look for them to start trading big names with big contracts soon.

This season was a better ride than expected. But, when all is said and done, we will still reach the same, old destination.
