Weekend Update
Well, I must admit that I am thrilled to post a new
blog entry on May 22, 2011!!
It was a tough week for the blog as I really only
posted once and had a few short updates. To be honest, it has kind of been a
nice break. And frankly, what topics have there been to discuss. It gets old
talking about the Twins catching situation and bullpen situation. It isn’t fun
talking about each loss. It gets old explaining why I’m not yet willing to
throw in the towel.
That said, there are topics to discuss and starting this
week, I will get back into it. If nothing else, I was able to participate in
each of the scheduled podcasts this past week. As you know, the podcast
schedule is as follows (links to most recent show):
·
SethSpeaks.net
Sunday Night Twins Podcast
·
Monday – Twins
Minor League Weekly
·
Tuesday – SethSpeaks.net
Weekly Minnesota Twins Podcast
·
Thursday – Twins
Minor League Weekly
Today, I did want to take a look at the many Twins
blogs out there that do a great job and link to some of them:
·
As every weekly
link update should, we start by recommending reading Roger’s
Weekly Twins Minor League Report.
·
Aaron Gleeman
posted his
choice for the Twins #18 player of all-time, a selection that is sure to
make Curve For a Strike’s Topper Anton very excited!
·
If there was such
a thing, the Twins MVP Blogger these days has to be Nick Nelson. He is an
incredible writer who posts thoughtful Twins blogs most days during the week. On
Thursday, he took a look at how his top
ten Twins prospects are performing at the start of the season. On Friday,
he wrote about the dominance of
Glen Perkins so far this season.
·
By the way, have
you booked your Twins Train trip for
trips to Milwaukee and Chicago?
·
Off the Mark compared
the hauls that the Twins got for JJ Hardy and what the Rays got for Jason Bartlett.
·
Puckett’s Pond
continued a series looking at winning Twins teams by looking at
the 1991 team.
·
Twin Nation
looked at the Bullpen
Woes.
There were several terrific blogs related to Harmon Killebrew throughout the week:
·
Long-time Twins
player Michael
Cuddyer posted a tremendous blog on what Killebrew meant to him and others.
·
K-Bro called him
a Great
Player, Great Ambassador, Great Man.
·
The NoDak Twins Fan called Killebrew
the Grandfather
of the Twins Family. He later looked at the careers
of Killebrew and Kirby Puckett.
·
Hrbekistan posted some great Killer
Memories.
