Kelso's Bio

I am a huge Twins fan. My life revolves around baseball and softball. I have been a Minnesota Twins fan for a while now. I try to stay involved as much as I can, but I am involved in so many things its hard to catch most of the games. Honestly though, ask me anything about the Twins, I'll more than likely know it. I have many conversations with boys at my high school about baseball. Some can't believe how much I know about the sport. I play fastpitch softball where I am mainly a pitcher, but I also play corner infield. I write because I'm right. What can I say? Sports are my life!!!

Hey Twins fans! I've been noticing a huge decrease in contributions to the Twin's Whatnot. I'm not getting after anyone (like I even can :D) , but I want a few suggestions as to changes that can be made.

Please tell me what can be done to improve the section. Should we re-name it? What can be done to make it more attractive to people? Also, I want to confirm that you are actually receiving the questions every Saturday.

Is this the e-mail you would prefer me to send them to? Is there a typo in the email address?

greenhorse22@hotmail.com

Thanks much!

I liked your piece on Kubel and Monroe, I hope Gardy learns how to make the DH platoon succeed.

Hope to see more of your writing on here!

I agree with you on Pat Neshek. He is a fine reliever, and will rebound next game.

How about Brian Bass tonight? He is looking great!
