Another Monday off day, over at Twinkie Town (seems like that's all there is, lately). Today's discussion topic: if you're the Twins, what do you do about Nick Blackburn's contract, given that he's been pitching like the staff ace AND you already extended Scott Baker, last year? [Twinkie Town]
LATER THAT SAME DAY: I also ran a quick poll at TT: Which current Twin is most likely to become a perennial All-Star - besides Mauer, Morneau, and Nathan? (As of this writing, minor-league third baseman Danny Valencia has more votes than Michael Cuddyer, Delmon Young, and Jose Mijares combined, proof of the basic optimism of the internet, I guess.)

Twinkie Town: Big Monday
It's a big day over at Twinkie Town. I've got the text of my Sunday radio appearance going up this morning, a short piece about interleague play at noon, and then the regularly scheduled game preview thread at 7:00, just prior to game time.
Head on over there - the water's great! [Twinkie Town]

This week
A couple of updates this week to run by you.
- I didn't link to it Monday, as it wasn't much, but if you happen to be a TNABACG completist, I wrote a short discussion post on Twinkie Town on Monday, about my first-ever Twins game. [Twinkie Town]
- The NBA Draft is tonight, and I'm on duty for the T-Wolves Blog. I'll have both Wolves-specific updates, and I'll be participating in a network-wide chat, so stop on by for all coverage. [T-Wolves Blog]
- Sunday afternoon, I'll once again be on the Twins Radio Network post-game show, doing the "Gameday Chatter" segment. It's 60 seconds of me talking, buried in about three hours of post-game show... but if you happen to be listening, I'll be on the airwaves again this weekend.

Timberwolves Summer Calendar
The NBA Finals are over - and so we look ahead, at some important summer dates for the Timberwolves (including a few that we may or may not have made up.) [T-Wolves Blog]

Joe Crede vs. Tony Batista vs. Mike Lamb
Over at Twinkie Town, I go inside the numbers to compare Twins third baseman Joe Crede to two of his predecessors at the hot corner - Tony "GAAAH!" Batista and Mike "OW MY EYES!" Lamb. [Twinkie Town]
(Note: later today, there'll also be a Twinkie Town discussion about statistics. Bring your graphing calculators! 1:00 pm!)

Weekend Links
Weekend links, we have a few. But then again, too few to ment- actually, no. We'll go ahead and mention them. [RandBall]

Friday at Wrigley
I'm filling in over at Twinkie Town today - starting with a quick comparison between landmarks from both Minnesota and Chicago. The game's at 1:20; around then, the game thread should go up, and post-game I'll have a recap as well. [Twinkie Town]

Oakland 4, Twins 3: Game Recap
Checking in just before midnight with a link to my game recap on Twinkie Town. Short summary: Anthony Swarzak can't throw a strike, and the Twins got beat again. [Twinkie Town]

The Twins explain* why they can't hit on the road. [Twinkie Town]
