Nick Blackburn took one off the coconut but the bullpen held up their end of the bargain as the Twins pulled out the 5-1 victory. After a number of tests by alleged "doctors" (don't trust them myself, I'll stick with my leaches thank you very much) it was announced that Blackburn wouldn't even miss a start, leading me to believe he was faking the whole time. Go back to your Italian League Soccer you pussy!
"It feels way better than I thought it possibly could," Blackburn said.
Blackburn was limited in his activity on Monday. The Twins' training staff wanted the swelling in his face to subside some, although it was already drastically reduced from the previous day when he iced it "every 20 minutes until like 1 a.m."
The right-hander is still scheduled to throw his between-starts bullpen session on Tuesday, and Blackburn said he expects to make his next outing on Friday in Chicago.
He might not miss his next start because of this alleged liner to the chops (conspiracy if you ask me, did you see the direction his head darted backwards? Faker.) but he might have to miss it if he trips on his skirt.
