The back-and-forth nature of the Minnesota Twins' relationship with the National League continued this weekend as the Twins lost all three games they played in San Diego to the surging Padres. David got the result he expected, though he and Dan hoped for better in Game 2. Dan has questions for Derek Shelton about his pitching choices in Game 1, but David defends the manager's work in Game 2. David has yet to hear a good argument about when it's OK to change your fandom, though Dan sees a way to make it legitimate. They both are confused about Luke Keaschall's haircut, and they question Kaelen Culpepper's judgment at shortstop. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
