2010-08-02 13:30:00 (link to chat)Who did the Backup Catcher Society of America elect as this year's members?
(carlosrubi from México)		I'm beginning to wonder whether the only thing to be done about Drew Butera's presence on the Twins' roster is to nuke him from orbit--it's the only way to be sure. Otherwise, he must have been a fast-track inductee in International Brotherhood of Backup Backstops. (Christina Kahrl)
