After Rocco Baldelli got ejected during the Twins' one-game visit to New York this week, it appears that the manager now truly knows what it's like to be a Minnesota sports fan: it is to suffer. The Twins lose a 5-run lead and the game to the Yankees, then head home only to win one of three against the Cleveland Indians in their final series against each other this season. On top of that, two starting pitchers leave early with injuries, and, well, it's just been that kind of year for Minnesota. Dan brings up Jake Cave as a potential pinch hitter, and David can only assume Dan has entered some bizarro world -- or that of a video game -- where Cave has high value as a hitter. The boys also turn their gaze to the rest of the baseball scene and discuss which teams they could reasonably root for in the playoffs. Thanks for listening!
