Joe Nathan out for the year?

Seth Speaks:

This morning, we were told that he has a torn UCL, is out for the year and will decide soon if he will have Tommy John surgery…The Twins have plenty of closing options, but any time you lose a guy who has been arguably the top closer in baseball over the last five or six years, it’s not a good thing.

Who is next in line to close? (My guess would be Matt Guerrier. He’s been around and he’s been able to get the job done. Not a classic closer, but a very good pitcher.) Jesse Crain, Jon Rauch, Jose Mijares, maybe even Pat Neshek are options as well. Remember when we said the bullpen depth this year was great? Well, now that becomes hugely important!

Twins to sell Schweigert hot dogs at Target Field

Twins to sell Schweigert hot dogs at Target Field:

upyourarchitecture:

Minnesota-made Schweigert hot dogs, a fan favorite when the Twins last played home games outside, have been chosen for the soon-to-be-inaugurated Target Field.

The team also said that Dollar-A Dog Days will continue, moving from Wednesdays to Mondays (except for Opening Day).

Twins officials said that four different Schweigert dogs are filling the void left after the Twins announced late last month that Dome Dogs, made by Austin-based Hormel, were going the way of the Metrodome:

Original Twins Dog: A traditional pork and beef hot dog, it will be made from the same recipe as the ones served in the team’s first ballpark - Metropolitan Stadium - and will be available at many of the park’s concession stands.

Twins Big Dog: The quarter-pound all-beef dog will officially replace the Dome Dog and will be served at portable grills and select concessions stands. As with the Dome Dog, chips are included.

Dugout Dog: An old-fashion pork and beef hot dog in a natural casing, it will be sold in the stands by retro-attired vendors. The dogs will be steamed in vending boxes and placed in a bun when ordered, not pre-wrapped.

Dinger Dog: This extra-long pork and beef dog will also be available at select Hennepin Grille locations at Target Field.

Mmmm, mmmm good.

“This remarkable photograph, taken during the Boeing B-17 attack on the Ploieşti oil refineries in Rumania on 15 July 1944, shows bombs falling on the target from the formation flying above this B-17 and flak bursts from anti-aircraft defenses. Smoke from the smoke screen put up by the German mingles with smoke from fires that mark hits on the target”

Mauer and Thome Stuck at Complex

Mauer and Thome Stuck at Complex:

Off The Mark:

“It was really odd to watch,” said Tim Porter, a fan from Red Wing, MN that is spending the entirety of spring training in Fort Myers. “They both kept gesturing towards the door and saying, ‘No, it’s okay, you go first,’ to each other. Even weirder was that they never got upset or stopped smiling the entire time.”

By the time reporters had arrived, Mauer and Thome had already been waiting by the door for a half-hour. Over the next ninety minutes, a total of 48 people were counted walking through the doors, with both players holding open the set of double doors for every single person.
