Feelin' Minnesota

In today's Wall Street Journal, Jon Weinbach notes that in the sports world Minnesota's loss has become Boston's gain (sub req):

It's a bleak winter for Minnesota sports fans. Their pro teams are pathetic. [Ahem--the Northwest Division leading Wild hardly fit that bill.] But worst of all, some of the city's most famous athletes are playing better than ever -- they're just doing it in Boston.

Thanks to help from Minnesota exports, the Boston Red Sox won their second World Series in four years, the Boston Celtics are enjoying a renaissance and the New England Patriots are playing in the Super Bowl next weekend.

Interesting angle. One that I explored back in October in a post called You Don't Know What You've Got 'Til It's Gone. Great minds and whatnot.
