0:50.0

it's been a successful week for the twins four and one this week i didn't see that happening i'm

0:58.2

going to ask my fellow broadcaster here across the table aaron gleeman of nbc sports

1:04.1

com what he thinks of it uh well suffice it said i didn't see it happening either i never see

1:09.5

that happening even when they were winning division titles i didn't't see that happening. But yeah, it's nice, although I will say, you know, two weeks ago they won, would they win four or five in a row? I mean, momentum in baseball is such a funny thing, and by funny thing, I mean non-existent. Especially when the starting pitching has just been such a mess, or, you know, for the most part.

2:13.1

NBA or the NHL, I guess also I think has a lottery of some sort.

2:18.8

But. Yeah, there's no Strasbourg, there's no Bryce Harper, there's no Joe Maurer.

2:23.3

There are plenty of names out there that are already being projected as, you know, top

2:27.0

picks for the 2013 MLBDraft, but we've got a whole year to talk about them.

2:31.0

We've got one day now left to talk about

2:35.2

2012. I'm kind of excited about this actually.
