R.I.P. Kirby

Posted on March 9, 2010 by Joe

Last weekend (the 6th) marked four years since Kirby Puckett passed from us. Kirby, as are most of us was a complicated person.

Then there are others, who will want to tell you only about his redeeming qualities, giving him near sainthood status, right up there next to Mother Teresa and the apostles.

Joe Nathan is Done For the Season

Posted on March 9, 2010 by Joe

Joe Nathan reportedly has a tear of the ligaments in his elbow. This will most likely end his season. It may or may not crush the Twins chances to win the Central.

Nathan is a premier closer. One of the best, especially during the regular season but the Twins may have the personell to step up and fill his role. This wouldn’t be the first time that in the presence of tragedy a young player has stepped up and done incredible things.

Only time will tell. For now, the Tigers and White Sox have to be somewhat breathing a sigh of relief today.
