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.

Weekend Links with Jon Marthaler
Posted by: Michael Rand under Twins fans Updated: November 7, 2009 - 8:56 AM
Jon Marthaler bakes up a batch of delicious links just for you. Other times, you can find him here and here. Jon?
-------------
Happy Saturday, readers. It's scheduled to be a gorgeous, mid-60s kind of day out there, the kind of day that makes fall my very favorite season in Minnesota. Astonishingly, we've managed to have only three days since September 1 on which the high was above 60 but below 70; somebody owes us one.
On with the links:
*I'll just introduce this link by saying this: Michael Russo is my favorite beat writer ever, and stuff like this is part of the reason why. I encourage you to make him your favorite as well.
*Spencer Hall at EDSBS may use some uncouth language (you've been warned), but he has proved that he can be outrageously funny - even in graph form.
*Canis Hoopus has the relevant extract of a John Hollinger article from ESPN.com - that considers humble Minnesota as a possible destination for LeBron. The reasoning may be sound, and yet, this might be the most absurd thing I've ever heard. It's a paradox.
*And finally: thanks to the sudden Carlos Gomez-for-J.J. Hardy trade, poor Erin at Plunking Gomez will have to change her blog's name. Before she goes, though, she offers a photo retrospective of Gomez's Twins career. I don't know if it's a good trade or not, but I will really miss Gomez; he was a lot of fun. Here's hoping J.J. Hardy talks to, and sniffs, his bat from time to time. Boom. Zoom!
That's enough for this week. And anyway, you shouldn't be inside, surfing the interwebs. Go outside! Do something!
