Hard for me to care anymore about baseball in general or the twins specifically. The system is built to favor the major market teams. Doesn’t mean the smaller market teams can’t compete in a specific year but it is not starting from an even playing field. The probability of the twins seriously competing for a championship in any one year is slim with the probability of an extended run of many years almost nonexistent. The only way for the twins to be a factor year in and year out is to deficit spend like the federal government. Don’t think any of these rich owners care to lose money every year nor should I expect them to. Bottom line for me: implement a salary cap and I might start to care about baseball again. Since the chance of that is about the same as winning the lottery I will continue to glance at the standings every week or two and possibly watch some games if the twins make the playoffs. Otherwise I just don’t give a damn.
