The baseball season now in full swing, and it couldn't be more boring. You know how people only tune in for like the last five minutes of a basketball game, I'm tempted to do that with the Twins this year. April is all about finding your swing, staying healthy, putting the ball in play, staying out of jail, etc. Wake me up at the All-Star break.Cuddy went down with a dislocated finger diving into third base against the Royals last Friday evening meaning that Jason "I Look Like a Fiddler For Toby Keith" Kubel will be taking over in right field. Great. Another left handed bat, just what we needed. Giving the Twins another left handed bat is like giving the Pope a cross for his birthday, let's face it, both have some to spare.
This Blackburn cat has been changing haters thus far. He keeps his fastball low and has yet to have the big inning that dooms so many young pitchers. The battery of him and Mr. Electricity Joe "Big Pink" Mauer could squeeze out a solid 13 plus wins for the young hurler. In addition to this, he also isn't named Craig Monroe, so that makes me like him even more.
Congratulations to Justin More-know for his slump busting home run that traveled upwards of 943 feet against the Royals on Saturday. Great work J. After going hitless against a staff that'll probably lead the Halos to the American League West crown, you decided to start hitting the cover off the ball against the Royales With Cheese. This is the playground equivalent of getting beaten up by everyone your own age, saying the hell with it, and picking on the first graders. J-Mo has a much bigger responsibility now that he doesn't have Cuddyer protecting him. If I were a left handed pitcher in the American Leauge right now, I'd be licking my chops, cause with Cuddyer out, Morneau will probably try to do too much. If you throw Senor Canadian Bacon nothing but outside sliders that hit the dirt, it's basically baseball's very own Major Bison slide kick that we all used as a kid, was cheap as hell, but oh so effective.
Off day today. Tomorrow, Danks vs. Scotty Baker, who will no doubt take the mound with a wowwie pop and a slingshot in his back pocket. Let's go hometown nine!

Winless in his first 3 starts though. I like him, and even with 6 runs support, he still can't get the win. I know I'm late to the show, but it took you three years to email me back about my blog and tell me about your blog, so I'd say I'm early.
why is joe mauer called "big pink"? just curious...
