	Minnesota Twins (1961-Present)

		I don't know how feasible this is, or who would plan it, but if it's done right it could send a message to baseball that this would be the wrong thing to do.
		I just read that the MLB approved the contraction of two as-yet-unnamed franchises, and apparently the Twins are on the "short list".
		How they could get rid of the team with the 5th best record in the AL is beyond me, but I guess it's the most "economically sound" solution, or something.

	Twinkie Town :: A Minnesota Twins Blog
		My general apathy towards the Twins started to change late last season when Santana mysteriously came up with a blister and was pushed back so that he would face the Sox twice in September.
		The Sox will never harbor the malevolence that the Twins seem to breed in their farm system and clubhouse, but they will always be shooting for more than 'anybody but the Twins.' That's the type of attitude that has you three-and-out in the playoffs.
		Of course this assumes the Twins want Torii in 2008, that Torii still wants to be a Twin in 2008, that the Twins can offer a competetive contract compared to what will be the market for Torii in next year's offseason and that Hunter will be healthy this year.

		ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. - So far, the only thing which has slowed down the beginning of Brian Dinkelman's professional baseball career has been the weather.

		Elizabethton had two earlier games washed away due to rain and Monday's contest at Pulaski was delayed at the onset due to more wet weather.
