Overflowing sewage hits A's ballpark
The Oakland A's dugout is full of crap, and that's not just a figure of speech.

Twins closer Glen Perkins observed what he described as "potential sewage," and sent out a photo on Twitter.

This round's on me: Glen Perkins hooks up Twins fans
MINNEAPOLIS -- The rain delay at Target Field on Saturday night lasted exactly two hours and four minutes.
Plenty of time for the Twins' closer to express his gratitude toward a group of fans for riding it out.

Q&A: Glen Perkins, A Twin, His FIP, and Math
Glen Perkins knows his FIP. He also knows his HR/9, Z-Swing% and O-Swing%. More importantly, he understands what they mean. As the Minnesota Twins left-hander says, “I like baseball and I like math.”
Perkins is more than a stat geek. The 30-year-old converted starter is one of the better closers in the American League [despite his skepticism of modern-day closer usage]. Six weeks...
Twins reliever Perkins taking game to next level
Glen Perkins insists he's not trying to strike out every batter he faces. It only seems that way for the Minnesota Twins closer.

This year, Twins clubhouse has 'different vibe'
FORT MYERS, Fla. Glen Perkins just turned 29 years old a few days ago, but the Twins' set-up man already feels like one of the old guys on the team.
As Minnesota's spring training clubhouse is filled to the brim with 66 players -- including a set of makeshift lockers to accommodate the overflow -- there are plenty of new faces at the Lee County Sports Complex. But now in...
