The Vikings appear to be running out of options for a Stadium in Minnesota. NFL executive VP Eric Grubman says "you have a very dejected ownership. They've run out of options. They feel like they've done everything they've been asked to do and they can't get a vote. No one will answer the question, What is it going to take?" The Vikings had their latest attempt at a stadium die in conference committee Monday night.

The Twins beat the New York Yankees 6-5 in the Bronx Wednesday night. Minnesota scored 4 runs in the first inning of Hiroki Kuroda and Jason Marquis did just enough to get the win. Marquis in his Twins debut threw 5 innings with 4 earned runs allowed to get the win. Justin Morneau led the offense going 3-4 with 2 homeruns, 3 runs scored and 3 RBIs. Alexi Casilla added 3 hits and Chris Parmelee chipped in 2. Matt Capps allowed a solo homerun to Derek Jeter in the 9th inning to get the save.

The Twins needed to create a roster spot for starting pitcher Jason Marquis prior to Wednesday night's game and the spot was created when the Twins designated infielder Luke Hughes for assignment. The Twins have 10 days to trade, release him or pass him through waivers. He was batting just .200 with 2 RBIs in 4 games this season.
