Who: Bert Blyleven
What: By Homersota standards it was a fairly quiet week. However visitors to this site have come to recognize that parochial takes can be heard/read on any given day.
Rod Simons and "Coach" Dean Dalton shinned up the Vikings from the sidelines with numerous superlatives.
Prince Paul Allen declared, "Justin Morneau's defense is fantastic".
WCCO radio's Steve Thompson stated he would rather have Joe Nathan than the Yankees future HOF closer Mariano Rivera.
Jeff "Bunny" Dubay started making excuses for the Twins prior to their weekend series with the White Sox by suggesting they were at a "decided" disadvantage due to their travel schedule. He also said the Vikings can be a playoff team and expected "breakout" seasons from their defensive ends.
Perpetuating the "Mauer can do no wrong" mentality of many in the press, columnist Charley "Shooter" Walters suggested Justin Morneau's turnaround may be the result of rooming with the Twins catcher.
The runner-up was Mark Rosen with his dismissive remarks to Dan "Common Man" Cole regarding the whole concept of www.homersota.com. He called it "silly" and went on to cheerlead for Joe Mauer at the state fair.
Bert Blyleven's puzzling comment, "The numbers don't show what Rondell White's all about yet" just prior to grounding out to third base earns Bert his first H.O.W.
Bottom Line: Maybe Bert should circle this batting average: .217
