YOUR GUIDE TO THE TWIN CITIES
Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could keep lies from conquering the minds of the weak. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.

We're heading out to a high school football game pretty soon (Holy Family vs. Minneapolis North, section final), but we thought we'd throw out a couple of talkers:
1) Obviously, feel free to react to the trade of Carlos Gomez for J.J. Hardy. Our quick take is that as much as we loved Go-Go's energy, he was the odd man out of a crowded outfield. If Hardy can come anywhere near his 2007 and 2008 form, this is a steal for the Twins and a great move by Bill Smith. And yes, those words can be typed consecutively on a keyboard! The "g" key gave us some resistance, but we fought through it.
2) Wisconsin is the new farm team for Minnesota clubs. Ryan Longwell. Brett Favre. Ramon Sessions. J.J. Hardy. Discuss -- and thanks, Wisconsin!
