Don't worry, I still hate John Tudor (but will always love Vince Coleman)
First off…a nickname clear-up for RSN. He’s no longer Baby Jesus…he’s The Jesus. And nobody fucks with him. Except for debilitating leg injuries. But I don’t see how that can be the Coen brothers fault.
I don’t have a Papelboner…but I do love it when we call him Big Papi.
I drop off the earth for one week, and this is what happens? The entirety of my favorite team either sucks or is hurt (Namesake obviously excepted), and we’re eagerly awaiting the return of Lew Frickin’Ford???!!! I’d prefer Frederick Fucking Chopin. (Pat Reusse is mad)

Is this my punishment for marrying a Cardinals fan? Well, if so…consider me as have taken one for the team. (Yes, we’re happy you won last year…even if it’s mostly ‘cuz I no longer will have to listen to some washed up jock proclaim on this week’s “list” that the ’87 Twins as the worst World Series team ever. You can go to hell John Salley.)
The calls are coming from all directions for the Quiet Genius to make a trade. And I’m inclined to agree. However, TWT and it’s denizens will not stand for the kind of Lohsian* talk that I’m already beginning to hear. If you’d like to suggest that Mr. Ryan stop hording every single good minor league pitcher in all of Seligdom, than I demand you (yes you!) refrain from such vomit-inducing packages as Carlos Silva and Scott Baker for Matt Murton…or Travis Hafner…or Barry Bonds…or what have you. I have no interest in trades wherein the saliency arises from stupidity. Trades do not happen in MLB where one side gives up players it-doesn’t-want-even-a-little bit for immediate major league roster value…which is what our chosen franchise needs desperately right now. As far as I know, Kevin McHale does not run any of the MLB franchises.
So…here’s my list of pitchers that I’m willing to root for from afar if it means bringing me a right-handed bat that will manage to out-perform Josh Rabe:
Kevin Slowey
Glen Perkins
Ramon Ortiz (how much magic dust does Rick Anderson have anyway?)
Joe Nathan

*Lohsian…referring to all the asinine “rumors” every time Lohse pitched poorly wherein the Twins should try and trade him and some other terrible pitcher for Carlos Beltran ‘cuz the Mets needed pitching. To reiterate…this shit doesn’t happen in real life!

How does T Ryan define humility (besides looking at the early 90's), the lose of Big Papi. T Ryan has done a great job, but that one hurts. Especially rocket shots to 212.
If the Twins are out of the race come July, I wouldn't be opposed to trading Nathan. Assuming they use "his" money to get Santana.
What about trading for Mike Sweeney? Wouldn't think that would cost much and I'm sure we could just give up prospects. Although Sweeney won't do much post 2007.
What about Austin Kearns? Might be able to get him for prospects and he could play LF.
Pretty sure Sweeney makes a lot of money, actually.
I think if you're going to trade one of your studs, you can think bigger than Austin Kearns...but I don't have anyone that leaps to mind.
Yeah, Sweeney's making 11 million this year. TRyan won't take that on.
Don't worry...Lew Ford's return is imminent, but certainly not eminent
I wonder if the Blue Jays would be a good trade partner? BJ Ryan is done for the year. They may be looking for a closer...or they may start a fire sale and look to get rid of players. The first option works better for the Twins...fire sales involve dumping big contracts, and teams that can take them on.

I'll take Alex Rios. Brandon League maybe. Hill?
