Aaron Gleeman is the poster boy for Twins Blogging, and sports blogging in general. Unable to find his way into Journalism school, he established his personal blog back when "blog" was a little known term.

He has become one of the most established names in sports blogging and is currently employed by NBC Sports. He still finds time to provide some of the best Twins content around on his site, despite his many other writing gigs.

Link-O-Rama: via Aaron Gleeman May 17, 2012 at 10:00 PM; • This is a great New York Times correction: "An earlier version of this article misstated the name of Howard Stern's bulldog. It's Bianca, not Bernice." • Mila Kunis took a break from her Official Fantasy Girl of AG.com duties to save someone's life. • They told me to bring the stats, so I unleashed [...]
Getting to know the Twins’ draft options with the No. 2 overall pick: via Aaron Gleeman May 15, 2012 at 11:42 PM; Not all draft classes are created equal and unfortunately for the Twins they've stumbled into a bad year to have their first top-10 pick since 2001 and five other top-100 selections. There's no year in which having the No. 2 overall pick won't allow a team to potentially land a future star-caliber player, but the [...]

Twins Notes: Birthday boys, pimping, demoting, neglecting, and mocking: via Aaron Gleeman May 10, 2012 at 11:00 PM; • Reminder: Gleeman and The Geek airs live on KFAN at 4:00 on Sunday. I can neither confirm nor deny that this week's show will just be me sighing into the microphone for an hour. • Happy birthday to No. 1 prospect Miguel Sano, who turned 19 years old today and is hitting .303/.417/.655 with [...]
Twins’ latest shakeup sends Valencia to Triple-A and Liriano to bullpen: via Aaron Gleeman May 10, 2012 at 12:54 AM; Minutes after the final out of last night's loss the Twins shook up the roster for the second time this week, demoting Danny Valencia to Triple-A and designating Matt Maloney for assignment while calling up utility man Darin Mastroianni and right-hander P.J. Walters from Rochester. They also announced that Francisco Liriano has been shifted to [...]
Morneau’s latest injury leads to Dozier’s arrival and roster shakeup: via Aaron Gleeman May 07, 2012 at 10:06 PM; Justin Morneau exited last Monday's game with soreness in his surgically repaired left wrist, immediately flying from California to Minnesota to be examined by team doctors and admitting that the injury had been bothering him for several days. At the time I wondered why the Twins wouldn't just put him on the disabled list for [...]

Link-O-Rama: via Aaron Gleeman May 03, 2012 at 11:36 PM; • What an incredibly sad way for one of the greatest baseball careers of all time to end. Damn. • Jered Weaver's no-hitter against the Twins involved an added degree of difficulty. • SABR announced that Terry Ryan, Dave St. Peter, Roy Smalley, and Ron Coomer will be among the speakers at this year's convention [...]
Rock bottom? Twins no-hit by Jered Weaver, fall to MLB-worst 6-18: via Aaron Gleeman May 03, 2012 at 12:42 AM; When the Twins are on a West Coast road trip I'll often get on the elliptical machine at the beginning of the game and force myself to ride until they score a run, however long that takes. I'm dead now. Please be nice to my mother. The good news for the Twins is that many [...]
Twins Notes: Butera, Burroughs, Mauer, Morneau, Pavano, and Guerra: via Aaron Gleeman May 02, 2012 at 12:24 AM; • I'll be on KFAN this morning around 9:15, sitting in for a couple segments on Paul Allen's show. Tune into 100.3-FM or listen online at KFAN.com. • After playing every inning of the first 21 games Joe Mauer took a foul ball off his knee and sat out Monday. He returned last night as [...]
Podcast: “Gleeman and The Geek” (Episode 39): via Aaron Gleeman April 29, 2012 at 07:59 PM; Topics for this week's episode of Gleeman and The Geek included the Twins' terrible starting pitching, why Delmon Young won't be invited to any Hanukkah parties, booing Joe Mauer, putting previous division titles in perspective, Ben Revere's brief return, skipping Francisco Liriano and dipping him in chocolate, what happened to the farm system, our PickPointz [...]
Link-O-Rama: via Aaron Gleeman April 26, 2012 at 10:53 PM; • Reminder: Gleeman and The Geek will be live on KFAN again Sunday at 4:00, shortly after the Twins-Royals game. Taking calls from listeners went well last week, so we'll probably do that again if you feel like listening live on 100.3-FM or KFAN.com instead of waiting for the podcast. • Josh Willingham welcoming his [...]
Twins Notes: Hughes, Liriano, Revere, Ortiz, Kelly, Capps, and Sano: via Aaron Gleeman April 24, 2012 at 11:54 PM; • Last year after 18 games the Twins were 6-12 and had been outscored 88-54. This year they're 5-13 and have been outscored 102-65 for MLB's worst run differential. And dating back to the final 10 games of the 2010 regular season the Twins are now 70-123 (.363). • Designated for assignment by the Twins [...]
Podcast: “Gleeman and The Geek” (Episode 38): via Aaron Gleeman April 22, 2012 at 11:06 PM; This week's episode of Gleeman and The Geek was recorded at KFAN's studio and for the first time featured phone calls from listeners. Topics included what to do with Francisco Liriano, Luke Hughes leaving via the waiver wire, why the only thing worse than my basketball skills is getting old, the clock ticking on Alexi [...]
Link-O-Rama: via Aaron Gleeman April 19, 2012 at 11:42 PM; • Reminder: Gleeman and The Geek will be live on KFAN again Sunday at 4:00, shortly after the Twins-Rays game. If you missed last week's show, which was our radio debut, give it a listen. • One of my favorites writes about one of my ... well, not-so-favorites. And credit to the Minneapolis Star Tribune [...]
Twins designate Luke Hughes for assignment: via Aaron Gleeman April 18, 2012 at 11:30 PM; Jason Marquis' return forced the Twins to open a roster spot and rather than drop a pitcher, cut loose Sean Burroughs, or option Chris Parmelee to Triple-A they designated an out-of-options Luke Hughes for assignment. I'm no fan of a 13-man pitching staff and Parmelee, like Ben Revere, would be better off playing regularly in [...]
Twins Notes: Baker, Liriano, Perkins, Sano, Willingham, and Casilla: via Aaron Gleeman April 17, 2012 at 11:00 PM; • As expected Scott Baker underwent surgery yesterday to repair the flexor pronator tendon in his elbow, but while he was under the knife Dr. David Altchek discovered ulnar collateral ligament damage and performed Tommy John surgery as well. Apparently the torn UCL didn't show up on the initial MRI exam or last week's follow-up [...]
Twins claim Clete Thomas off waivers, demote Ben Revere to Triple-A: via Aaron Gleeman April 16, 2012 at 11:00 PM; Late in spring training the Twins essentially chose Chris Parmelee over Ben Revere for the final starting job and once that happened it made sense for them to find a new fourth outfielder via the waiver wire or an inexpensive trade rather than keep Revere around to play sparingly in a reserve role. Sure enough [...]
Podcast: “Gleeman and The Geek” (Episode 37): via Aaron Gleeman April 15, 2012 at 07:30 PM; This week's episode of "Gleeman and The Geek" was recorded at ... KFAN's studio.

Link-O-Rama: via Aaron Gleeman April 12, 2012 at 10:36 PM; • "Gleeman and The Geek" makes its radio debut on KFAN this Sunday afternoon at 4:00, so tune in to 100.3-FM or listen online at KFAN.com. We've never done a live show on the actual airwaves before, so the first one could be an adventure. One nice thing about doing the show in a studio [...]
