Duane Below pitched in relief against the Twins on May 27. Mauer singled then was picked off first then 3 fly outs.

That was the game that Cabrera hit a 2 run homer off Crapps...

Twins:
Span CF
Revere RF
Mauer C
Willingham LF
Morneau 1B
Plouffe 3B
Doumit DH
Dozier SS
Casilla 2B
(Blackburn P)

Tigers:
Jackson CF
Berry LF
Cabrera 3B
Fielder 1B
Young DH
Avila C
Raburn 2B
Boesch RF
Santiago SS
(Below P)

Good to see Casilla in the lineup. I don't think Casilla has proven anything either way, but playing Carroll on a noncontending team is pointless.

It looks like this one might get rained out, which may be better than watching Blackburn pitch.

---Too true. If he gets shelled again tonight, that's gotta be it for him. There's gotta be one of the Red Wings (or for that matter one of the Snappers, Saints, Gophers, FoxSportsNorth Girls or regular posters on this board) who we could start that would give us a better chance of winning.

Now a hit will score 2 runs. That would be a good start to what may be a long game.

attaboy blackburn...

It's starting to rain again, but not in a good way. Blackburn just does not have good stuff.

I'm really glad they sent down Hendriks.

Me too. But I wish they had brought up Deduno just to see if he might be another Diamond in the rough. DeVries has been OK, but Deduno might be better than OK.

Sean Bergman > Joe Mays > Nick Blackburn

This is starting to remind me of Mantle and Maris. Too bad Morneau is not part of this.

Is this where I line up to kick Blackburn in the nuts?

Nick Blackburn is flat-out awful at baseball right now.
