Notes: the TwinsCentric consortium, friends of Twinkie Town (except Marthaler, who got in a fight with Nick Nelson about John Castino's WAR that ended in slaps and tears), along with Twins/MLB über-blogger Aaron Gleeman, are having a viewing party for this abomination at Manitou Station in White Bear Lake. If you're in the area, you should go.
