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 M�xico)	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)
