Today should be joyous in my world. As luck would have it, I was able to transfer out of a terrible situation at the University of Minnesota-Morris into the much more amicable Twin Cities campus well passed the normal transfer deadline. And don't get me wrong, this makes me very happy; I know longer hate everything about my life. Which is good.
However, just as I'm trying to enjoy this wonderful new development, the entire Minnesota sports scene decides to implode around me. In two swift moves, the Timberwolves decided that they were going to start the infamous five-year rebuilding plan and the Twins gave away one of the only people on their team who can hit. We now officially have the golden sombrero - four teams who have no logical chance of winning anything anytime soon.
Both teams got it half right - both of them needed to make a trade, and they needed to trade those specific people. However, further instilling the idea that we are a backwards sports state, we accidentally forgot to get anything in return. The T-wolves received one quality player, a bunch of crap players, one pick they shouldn't have traded in the first place and another that's lottery protected, meaning it's worthless. The Twins once again showed their absolute and complete lack of balls by trading away their best middle infielder for for a double-a catcher (you know, something we really need) and a single-a outfielder.
So now we got nothing. Everything's over. There are no championships in the future, no playoffs in the future, no fun or winning or anything. It's the worst since the mid-90's in Minnesota to be a sports fan.
