    News Nathan opts out of WBC

    Guess this *could* be good for the Twins, as to letting him use that extra time to get healthy for the start of the season.

    Too bad for Team USA, but not bad news for the Twins. They need Nathan to be 100% this season.

    Ah. Joe Nathan and B.J. Ryan both recently pulled out. That must be why.

    And ****, I missed the start of the new Big Bang.

    I'll give you the link to where I watch it when I get home from work.

    I can never watch it live because I work when it's on.
