It's a tough time for everyone. I'm sure Minnesota Twins fans are hurting. It's very painful right now. But the good thing is that we all know where Puck is going to be -- he's going to be up in heaven whacking the ball around.

It choked me up a bit to see that. That was a nice thing by Big Buch. He was around Puck enough to really know him.

Our thoughts and our prayers are turned towards Puck in Arizona. We all heard about this before lunch and that pretty much takes away from anything you do at a ballpark. We did the best we could do today and the game was whatever ... it was a game.

That one kind of choked me up. I thought that was a pretty nice thing by big Buck.

Their pitcher was aware. Wood did a great job there. Most pitchers would catch the ball and start arguing with the umpire. He was very aware. He turned around looked home. He did a great job on that play.

It's a boring kind of thing, really. I think common sense pretty much tells you where it is.

I can't see Rad not wanting to go out there.

Terry doesn't throw out 'very good' very often.

This is serious, very serious, and a lot of people are going to learn from this. We're going to help him get through this thing and make him understand how serious this is. He wants to face the penalty, and that's the right thing to do.

A presence like his can only help. He's a pretty classy man. He told me he's ready to do whatever it takes to help. If I need him to help some young kids, he'll do that.

Our hearts and our prayers are all with Puck. We know its a tough situation out there.

He can do those things. That's what we envisioned when he got him over here.
