Hopefully the Twins can forget the Pittsburgh series and start getting back on the right track this weekend.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Shouldn't be a problem. We just gotta find a way to pitch around the first 5 guys in the lineup.

[Yoshii]

Looking like another series loss to me. 1-2.

[glunn]

I am hoping that Plouffe can get a homer against Homer.

[Bark's Lounge]

I am hoping that Plouffe can get a homer against Homer.

Count me in on having that hope as well!

[edavis0308]

Plenty of sink. Into the seats.

[Guest USAFChief]

Blackburn. 'nuff said.

[GCTF]

Make it sink, Blackie. Make it sink.

[mhanson93]

#%##% Blackburn!!!!!!!!

[edavis0308]

Setting the over under of blackie earned runs at 5.5. I'll take over.

[mhanson93]

Took him only two batters to balloon his putrid 7.5 ERA

[Guest USAFChief]

Well, you can't expect to shut down Chris ".264/.304/.348" Heisey.

[Cody Christie]

Do Morneau and Votto talk Canadian to each other on the field?

[glunn]

At least Plouffe got a hit. Now if only Blackburn could settle down...

[edavis0308]

What Do Morneau and Votto talk Canadian to each other on the field about?

 

FIFY.

My message is too short? What the?

[glunn]

At least the Twins avoid a shutout. Now we can only pray that Blackburn can last 5 innings.

[glunn]

One run per inning is better than nothing. It will be great if Blackburn can hold the fort for a few more innings.

[JB_Iowa]

Sigh. It would be so nice to see Blackburn hold a lead for more than an inning.

[glunn]

Sigh. It would be so nice to see Blackburn hold a lead for more than an inning.

Damn. That sucked.

[GCTF]

Ouch.

 

Pig, what's with the 10 character minimum?

[Guest USAFChief]

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.

Liriano.

 

Pig fix the damn ten character crap.

[twinzgrl]

I hope Terry Ryan has a plan to fix this starting rotation...wow, it really stinks....

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.

[JB_Iowa]

Maybe the Twins should just pray for rain every day.

[twinzgrl]

Does Plouffe have a grand slam yet?

[Guest USAFChief]

Well poop. Plouffe sucks again.

[glunn]

Does Plouffe have a grand slam yet?

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