Twins' Dump

So I am on the Twins' website today, checking out the upcoming Memorial Weekend game schedule...and this headline with a teaser catches my eye:


Twins Avoid Trouble At Site of New Ballpark
In a last-minute decision, a possible disaster was avoided when an underground sewage system was discovered beneath the site of the Twins' new ballpark. As a result, the Minnesota Ballpark Authority can be sure construction will begin soon.

Well, I was teased. I had to click.

Turns out the article mentions that there was some outdated sewer system under where they plan to build the park...and if it hadn't been noticed and fixed, the city would have stunk like Oscar the Grouch's homebase until the next Twins stadium was built.

But that's not the best part...the best part is that when you read the article, there is a little picture, like this:

And then under that is a caption, like this:
The Twins discovered an outdated sewage system beneath the ballpark's construction site. (Twins)

My questions are:

"REALLY?"

"Which Twins discovered an outdated sewage system beneath the ballpark's contruction site?"

"Is this what Mauer does while on the DL?"

"What qualifications/certifications do they have to determine that the sewage system is outdated?"

"Did he/they go through that training in the off-season?"

"Did he/they have to wear hard hats while inspecting the site or did they just get to wear batting helmets?"

Inquiring minds want to know the important things.
