Phoning It In: The '69 Twins & Billy Martin
One regret I have about not publishing GameDay this last year was that we had a GREAT series of stories lined up about the 1969 Twins team by Will Young. The '69 Twins were coached by Billy Martin and included oddities like Rod Carew steal home seven times and Martin get into a fistfight with a member of his rotation.Fortunately, Will shared his resear

On Craps Shoots and ERA
Pitching(1) is a craps shoot(2).That's the primary reason I haven't written about pitching. Getting an additional reliable starting pitcher is the biggest remaining issue facing the Twins this offseason. And part of the reason I haven't written about that issue is that the rest of the remarkable Twins blogosphere(3) has it covered. As does, of course, the TwinsCentric Offseason GM Handbook.

Dumbass Blogger Joins a Podcast Late

I haven't heard the first h

Twins Could Sign Type A Free Agents
Know how a pendulum works?Me neither. It has something to do with gravity and Newton's Laws or Motion and the spin (or wobble?) of the earth. Any self-respecting geek should know this stuff, and I remember learning it at least three times, but I'll be darned if I can explain it now.
