The Twins finish off another crummy Toronto series now needing to finish 12-10 to reach my preseason hopes of avoiding 90 losses. Well, at least I'm engaged in something Twins-related. Will they hold my attention through the first football games of the season? Possibly. I guess it depends on what game is on here, and that's a testament to how much of a chore the Twins are right now. However, as the Padre always says, in three weeks they're gone for six months, so you'd better see them now.

If all else fails, there's a fantastic race going on in the NL Central and meaningful baseball is being played all around the country.

And hey, if you think we've got it bad, consider the Jays: they were a popular preseason pick to win their division, and they're now one of the only three teams in the entire league that can't.

...Bengals-Bears and Seahawks-Panthers?! Are they throwing darts or something? Yeesh.

Esmil Rogers vs. Andrew Albers. Go Twins!
