Merry Christmas!

It's been almost a month since I've last updated, and the only thing that's happened is the Yankees bought everyone. Mostly.

The Twins have just signed R.A. Dickey to a minor/major league contract with an invitation to big league spring training. I'm glad that they're trying to bolster the bullpen, but I feel the need to remind them that the last time the knuckleballer came to the Dome, he tied a major league record for most wild pitches in an inning.

Just putting that out there.

Also, the holiday season is upon us, so my gift to you is this excerpt from a Joe Nathan interview-

"MLB.com: All right, it's time to have a little fun. I'm going to have you play Secret Santa for the Twins. You get to pick three people on the team to buy gifts for and then tell me what you'd pick out for them.

Nathan: OK, let me think. Well, first off I'd see if I could find Cuddy [Michael Cuddyer] some of those Harry Caray glasses, because I'm sure he's going to be a broadcaster some day. And I think he needs some of those. Then for Matt Guerrier, he would probably get ... I mean, I could get him anything and he'd like it. I could get him a frosty mug and he'd be pumped. He'd walk into a room with it, carrying it and saying, "Yes, I got a frosty mug." And lastly, I'd get Brian Buscher a guitar. He's been teaching us all how to play and I'm sure he could always use another one. "

Can't you just picture Matty doing that?

Anyway, Happy Holidays everyone!
