Okay seriously, tightness in the left groin? I thought he was a hockey player?

Punto - 0 for 9 the last 3 days, he's a pain in my lower back...

Redmans arm must have fallen off to get him out of the game

Redmond needs to hang it up, period. I'm tired of watching him and Punto get banged up every game they play.

I don't rememeber Redmond getting banged up every game he has played this year, in fact I do not believe he has missed any or few games and has not been on the DL.

I do think it is time for him to hang it up though. He is a good leader in the clubhouse but he has lost it as a hitter. 38 years old and hitting .230 while Morales is hitting over .350. There are enough other leaders in the clubhouse, the Twins need hitters and offense on the field.

What a suprise, Punterrible is hurt again!!!! If this guy were on any other team he would have been gone long ago. This guy sucks so bad at the plate he makes my eyes bleed!! Please Gardy, cut ties with your boy and bring up a player that can contribute a little bit to your club!!

I would rather pay a chimp $8 Million to get an out everytime it bats. At least it would be more entertaining that watching Punto do the same thing.
