Joe, once you wrap taping your new commercials, get into a hot yoga studio. I have a balky knee and it helped tremendously. One of the many benefits it creates is the release of new fluids in the joints. You come out of the workout feeling that you've created a new{ish} knee. Cris Carter swears by it....said it was definitely a factor in why his numbers and production didn't decline well into his 30's.

How is that not a Performance Enhancing Drug?

Not performance enhancing drug when it is created from Roosters and approved by the medical field for natural fluid replacement. Last time I checked this is not a drug but a natural fluid treatment to add fluid to a joint.

I still think Joe with his natural athletic reflexes and gun arm would be one of the best 3B in the game. And a season-long power threat because of the reduced wear and tear. But, with Ramos gone...

uh morty343? the twins have an all-star caliber 3b...maybe you need to pay attention to the team and its performance? Also, I havent notice Ramos lighting things up in DC...and I doubt you'd know who he was if Sid didnt misprounce his name and you repeat Sid's musings

Oh no... starting to look like he won't live up to that 9-home run standard he set last season.

Wow..... Quick to hand the crown to someone who had a "nice" rookie season at 3B, but "all-star"?? YOU need to pay attention to how baseball works. Let's see how Danny deals with the dreaded sophomore jinx. It's real. Teams now have scouted him, and he will need to show he can adjust. Don't get me wrong, I want the best for him, but your "all-star" adornment may look dumb in a few months. And, last I checked, baseball hasn't started in D.C. for Wilson to show his stuff. Plus, you're an assumptive pompous "whatever" for suggesting that I don't know the Twins, and that I pay attention to Sid in any way.

Not a good start to the coming season. Both of the M&M boys are question marks right now.

Can anyone explain to me why surgery was done in December and not October? Twins need to look for a good backup catcher that can hit ABOVE the Mendoza line....

I've said it out here 100 times, he's got to move to first to have a long career. His legs can't take catching. Too bad Morneau has lost his trade value.
