TGIF
It looks like the Gophers might get a stadium ok'd by the MN legislature. While I'm definitely excited for a real, on-campus stadium, I just hope that priority isn't given to the University, at the expense of the Twins & Vikings. It reminds me of how I felt when St. Paul was awarded an expansion hockey franchise (great, but this better not mean we lose another team). The Gophers are here to stay, no matter what. The Twins and Vikings may not stay in Minnesota for very long if they don't get stadiums.
Intersting stuff over at Aaron Gleeman's blog today (Charley Walters gave him a shout out in today' Pioneer Press). First of all, Gleeman's goal is to devote more time to the Twins' farm system, which is great. Gleeman mentions the fact that prospect Jay Rainville had surgery, and might miss the entire season, something which hasn't been mentioned by any of the mainstream sports journalists. If you click on the "comments" link at the end of the post, you'll see that Mr. La Velle E Neal III responded to Gleeman's criticism, and Gleeman fired back, followed by La Velle responding yet again. Good stuff. La Velle was posting from the pressbox, and Terry Ryan told him "If you have time to read his blog, you have time to report on Rainville's injury." Priceless.
Lohse got pounded today by the Tribe (I would have pulled him when he loaded the bases after already having given up 4 runs), but the bright spot was Justin Morneau: 3-4, with 2 home runs.
