LIVAN HERNANDEZ > GROVER CLEVELAND ALEXANDER

With a blistering fastball topping out at 43.6 MPH, Livan Hernandez shrugged off Manny hitting one off of the banner that used to say Funcoland, that place ruled, to record his 6th win of the year. Joe Mauer and J Mo Mo got on base a total of five times and you know what, my hate level on Craig Monroe is slowly dying. Mike Lamb, you're in trouble.

"I think we've got a lot of balance throughout the lineup so we've got a lot of options," right fielder Michael Cuddyer said. "Our bench is pretty strong as well. I think any time you can give Gardy that kind of flexibility, to go through the lineup and exchange guys and not miss a beat, it's nice. That's what we didn't have last year."

Cuddy's full of shit, they gave up on Rondell White waaaaay too soon. It's nice to see that if someone is sucking on the field, that there's someone on the bench who might suck a little less.

On the injury front, Pat Neshek has been shelved for the year. Funny, I would have never guessed this would ever happened based off of his delivery.
