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.

Friday (Anthony Swarzak isn't messin' with sasquatch) edition: Wha' Happened?
Posted by: Michael Rand under Twins fans Updated: May 11, 2012 - 9:22 AM
Is there a way to connect all those strange thoughts? Why yes. Yes there is.
Swarzak, you see, is apparently a firm believer in the existence of sasquatch. He posted a tweet about it a little more than a month ago. Lest you think he was joking, we are told he is most certainly very serious about the existence of the ape-like cryptid that purportedly inhabits forests. Either that, or this one very long, very official and very awesome joke. But we really don't think so, which makes it even better.
Our guy Kris Atteberry had an interview with Swarzak on the Twins Radio Network pregame show last night during which the subject of sasquatch was discussed extensively.
"I think they are real. There are many of them throughout our country. Specifically where they are, I don't know," Swarzak said. "I don't think anybody knows."
Swarzak also references a recent sighting near Afton, Minn., which might be referring to this print.
In any event, we have obtained the audio of the interview and used our very crude technological skills to make it into a video featuring images of Swarzak and his beloved sasquatch. In the midst of a dreary season, please do enjoy this moment (and please note we are not trying to make fun of Swarzak. We just think this whole thing is fantastic. Bigfoot could certainly be real for all we know):
