Major League Baseball

Again I know this is not SD sports but right now SD sports are a little quiet and MLB is starting to heat up. You may or maynot know that I am a Minnesota Twins fan, and that Left Fielder Jason Kubel was born in Belle Fourche SD and has family in the Bon Homme area. Minnesota of course has the AL MVP who got out of a slump last night blasting 2 bombs, also Torii Hunter has a 22 game hitting streak. Joe Mauer is on the DL but not to worry because Michael Redmond is a great backup. The Cubs a team I also like looks like they have gotton out of there slow start and start to hit the ball hard. The Cubs have a lefty in Hill that has a curveball that resembles Zito's also have one hell of an offensive lineup. If there defense and pitching can stay with them they will become a contener. Josh Hamilton has shown up as the feel good story of 07, drafted #1 by the Devil Rays out of high school Hamilton was kicked out of baseball for continuous drug use. I watched the Outside the Lines and HBO sports episode about Hamliton it said that he is now married and his family makes shure he doesn't screw up, he was re-enstated last year but had season ending knee surgury and both thought he may become a 5th outfielder late in his career, best case sonario. Hamilton was a rule 5 draft pick by the cubs and traded to the Reds, he is starting and has hit 8 HR this season while playing good defense. This is a guy that took 5 years off of baseball and played A ball for alil more then a month last year and now is hitting major league pitching like a seasonal veteran.
