At least you get video with MLB.com. Of course you get WCCO when the Twins are at home. Despite what others say, I like John Gordon and Dazzle Gladden. I also like the Treasure Island Resort and Casino adds with the guy with the uber-Minnesota accent. Ahh the sounds of home, I just need some mosquitoes buzzing in my ear.

Stop any person on the street--male or female, child, adult or senior citizen--and there is approximately an 95% chance that that individual is better qualified to do the play-by-play of a baseball game than The Hawk is. If that street is in another country, even one (hypothetically) in which baseball has never been played nor seen, that figure drops to about 60%. <BR/>You can look it up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394137.post-1153838542156611292006-07-25T09:42:00.000-05:002006-07-25T09:42:00.000-05:00Living in Eastern Iowa I can only catch the Twins ...Living in Eastern Iowa I can only catch the Twins when they play the WSox--or the rare ESPN games.

I like the idea of Lee coming here, but if I were to venture a guess, the Brewers would be looking for Garza, plus a reliever. I don't like the trade for a player we don't have a hope of resigning.
