Dola,

Jason Kubel. Justin Morneau. Joe Mauer. Jason Bartlett. Johan Santana. Juan Castro. Joe Nathan. Juan Rincon. Jesse Crain. Jason Tyner, later in the season......

We should call them the J-Squad!

After Tuesday and Wednesday's games, I'm 6-0 at Twins games this year.

I've seen two grandslams (Kubel, Morneau), two walk-off homeruns (Kubel's grandslam, Cuddyer (beginning of the year), Santana strike out 13 and get his 1000th, Radke pitch extremely well in two of his starts and Bartlett's 2-3 2006 debut. I've seen other stuff, but those are the highlights.

Twins up 3-0. I am a Twins fan tonight because if they win, the Jays will be tied with the Red Sox and will only be one game out of first in the East. Go Twins!

Juan Castro traded to Cincy for minor league infielder. The Bartlett administration has begun.

Roberts, 21, was batting .267 (66-247) with five doubles, one triple, one homer, 15 rbi and 23 stolen bases in 60 games with the Sarasota Reds (A, Florida State League) this season. The 6-0, 185-pounder was originally drafted by the Reds in the seventh round of the June, 2005 free agent draft. In 2005, his first professional season, Roberts batted .318 (87-274) with nine doubles, six triples, four homers, 36 rbi and 32 stolen bases, while being selected to the Pioneer League Year-End All-Star team.

...not much but I would have taken a bag of chips for Castro. And with TR's track record of pulling talent out of nowhere, maybe this will look good in a couple years.

So not much of a power hitter then.

This series was crazy. Tuesday night had a 1) ball hit the ceiling, 2) get stuck in/on a speaker and not come down. Wednesday had a 1) grandslam for the second night in a row, 2) guys run out on the field and Thursday had a 450+ foot single off a speaker.

You were at the Santana game too? Where'd you sit?
