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.

RandBall bonus questions with Orlando Hudson
Posted by: Michael Rand under Professional baseball, Twins fans Updated: July 14, 2010 - 3:23 PM
RandBall: Have you had a chance to think about the first half and the potential of the Twins vs. what transpired in the last month and a half or so?
Orlando Hudson: Nah man, it’s baseball. The first half is gone. It’s gone for everybody. Now we’re getting ready for the second half. The first half started off pretty good, and then we hit a bump in the road. But every team hits a bump in the road. … Now we’re going to get back on a hot streak, and before you know it we’ll hit another little bump in the road. … But hopefully we’ll hit another hot streak at the end and take it right on through and get a division lead and take it into the playoffs.
RB: The underlying message I hear from fans seems to be the Twins need to play with more fire or aggression. What’s your take on that?
O-Dog: Nah, we have fire. There’s a lot of fire here. But nothing bothers us. We’re professional athletes, and we’ve all been here before. We’ve seen it done. These guys played Game 163 for two years straight, so they know what the grind is. … It’s not about hoo-rah and jumping up like we have mini-skirts and pom-poms. We’re just going to sit there and hit home runs and win the game. Or if we lose, we’ll pick it up and keep going.
