    Coming off an ugly 9-1 loss against the Pirates and a 1-2 series loss in Pittsburgh, the Twins look to get back on track against the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds, fresh off a series sweep in Clevelend, turn to Homer Bailey (5-4, 4.03) for the start while the Twins counter with Nick Blackburn (stats too ugly to mention). The Twins struggled again McDonald last night; will they be able to get back on track against Bailey? Will Blackburn pitch better than the 5 IP, 4 ER lines he has been churning out lately? Should I just go watch Ken Burns' Baseball again?

      Ouch.

      Pig, what's with the 10 character minimum?

      Is there a major league pitcher with worse stuff than Nick Blackburn? It's an honest question. A "sinker" that doesn't sink. That seems to be his entire arsenal.

      Probably, just given the law of averages (30 teams x 12 pitchers = 360 pitchers), but I can appreciate the sentiment. Another disappointing night from Blackie.

      I don't think so, and he just blew a perfect opportunity.

      Not me. Before that inning he'd allowed 50% of his inherited runners to score. (7/14)

      I see you're a Canadian Twins Fan. But do you consider yourself to be a Great Canadian Twins Fan?

      Ah, that's why I like it when Perkins pitches. He doesn't just get the job done, it makes it interesting at the same time.
