Dougie Gone...

According to the Star Tribune Dougie has been told he will be traded. We don't know the details yet, but a very prescient Twins Geek has some pro facto theories.

Meanwhile, Batgirl finds herself very saddened by the loss of one of her favorite players. No matter his OPS or his IDS or LBJ, he is a team leader, a goofball, and just a consummate Twin. Batgirl would be sad to have any of those core players go, but Dougie Defence most of all. She feels, in truth, as if the heart of the team has been ripped out, and she fears that this will alter the personality of the Twins in a way which may hurt them for the rest of the season. For baseball, my darlings, is not just about stats--it is about alchemy and beauty, and that is why Batgirl loves it so.

She will be wearing a black armband all week in mourning.

Meanwhile, let's take a look back at some of our favorite Dougie moments this season.
