Sardines

This is one I just couldn't pass up.  It doesn't have anything to do with church or theology or science or even nutrition.  It does have to do with baseball.  As serious fans will know, the Minnesota Twins started out the 2011 season with a terrible run of losses driven by an unprecedented number of injuries to their starting lineup.  In the last two weeks, still without most of their starters, the Twins have turned things around by winning 11 of their last 13 games—with a bunch of kids who generally belong in the minor leagues.

The Twins just beat the White Sox for the second time in two days, and the White Sox manager, Ozzie Guillen was quoted as saying,  “These are the little sardinas here; they are [expletive] sardines. “You see a bunch of midgets out there. But they can play."  Thank you, Ozzie.  We'll take that. (You can view Ozzie's statement about the Twins here.)

Now, the Twins may revert to their earlier losing ways or, more likely, have a decent season but not get into the playoffs.  That's OK.  It's winning stretches like this that make even a poor season fun.  Go, Sardines!
