Gamethread: White Sox at Twins

We’ve had some late coverage changes today and now I’m having to write WAY more about the Minnesota Twins than any human should be forced to.

Anyway, excuse a little cut-and-paste, because seriously, it’s going to be too much to ask you to read my dynamite Know Your Enemy just published?

Imagine how much sharper the pitchforks would be if this lark of an end-of-spring pickup didn’t bail Rick Hahn out a bit for punting the offseason?
