So will next week's final baseball column be a eulogy for the 2009 Twins? <br /><br />3. I watched a bit of the Yankees/Red Sox game Friday night and Joba retired the first nine batters he faced or something like that.

Or 35 steals and 28 home runs?</i><br /><br />Yes, yes it would. Just like it would be a bad season if someone hit 29 homers and 125 RBIs, or 36 homers and 90 RBIs. It's only a good season when arbitrary and even-numbered combinations are reached.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.com
