I’ve been trying to figure out the way the Twins plan on using Jim Thome and after reading a number of articles it finally seems to be almost making sense. It looks like the plan is if any of five different players is injured or needs a day to rest Thome gets the DH spot.

• KSTP AM 1500 is broadcasting from TwinsFest. Due up on the show tonight: Thome, Mauer, Gardy, Hrbek between now & 7pm. #
• Jim Thome appearing at KSTP stage at TwinsFest now. I'm listening via the website. Not sure when we'll go to TwinsFest this year. #
• Jim Thome will, you know, fit in with, you know, the many Twins players, you know, who all say "you know" a lot when interviewed. #
• They're talking to Pavano now at TwinsFest. #
• Cuddy and Ben Revere are the next guests at TwinsFest (on radio). Just finished with J.J. Hardy. #

• Who doesn't like Joe Mauer? I mean, really. He's made of awesome. So happy he won AL MVP. #JoeMauerMVP #
• Mauer press conference is starting; airing on FSN. Looks like some coverage on MLB Network too. #
• Joe Mauer makes me happy. Just by being Joe. Can't help it. #
• Justin's in the audience, he should totally ask a question. #
• I've resisted the urge to count the number of times Joe says "you know" because he's awesome and I say it a lot too. #
• Justin surprised Joe by being there for the press conference? Aw. Such a fine baseball bromance. (Ack, did I just use that word?) #
• Sounds like Joe-Ma will be on KFAN at 4:20pm and KSTP radio at 5:45pm. Sure to be on lots of stations tonight. #
• Love that it was Justin Morneau who asked final question of press conference: "are you buying dinner?" #
• Listening to Joe-Ma on KFAN right now. You know. #

• They just started airing Game 4 of the 1965 World Series on MLB Network. Don Drysdale vs. Mudcat Grant. #
• It's weird (and awesome) to hear Vin Scully doing broadcasts of old games like these and of current/recent games. #
• Game 7 of the 1965 World Series now on MLB Network. Kaat versus Koufax. #

• Joe Mauer, Torii Hunter, and Jim Kaat all win Gold Gloves. Okay, maybe not Kaat, I just miss Batgirl. #

• I'm not at the Metrodome garage sale which is bizarre really, but I'm broke & not feeling well so I'll let others have the fun. #
• When husband heard about the long line at the Dome garage sale, he said "Wow, I'm glad we didn't go." Online sales are more my speed. #

• Go Go is gone and since I wanted an outfield that included Delmon, Span, & GoGo or Cuddy, I'm fine with that. #
• I think GoGo has tons of potential, but he had two years to impress us and just didn't. Plus tons of mental mistakes. He'll be missed tho. #
• (Missed more for personality in particular & also outfield range, than anything else.) #
• My theory on why they keep Punto: it's the magic slurpees he makes for Justin before each game. Or he's blackmailing Gardy. #
• Go-Go jerseys should be going on sale at the Twins Pro Shops any day now. (I acquired my Guzman and Santana jerseys after they left.) #
• Last offseason I said I thought folks would be pleasantly surprised by Delmon the following season; I hope I'm right this time. #
