A very good write up of what's been a hard week. Playing the White Sox and the Pirates has been incredibly sobering. I was never expecting amazing, but youch.
I remain foolishly, delusionally optimistic! Looking over both leagues, we're barely even in the bottom third! I knew this was going to be painful - being a Twins fan always has been a study in self abuse.
But, looking into June, I don't think it's gonna be all bad! Sure, we have to play the White Sox again, but then it's the Royals and the Tigers! And there's a chance I may experience joy again briefly. The Cardinal's are gonna hurt, but we aren't terribly far behind the Rangers at this point! I don't even want to think about the Diamondbacks and Dodgers, but I have a few weeks to prepare for what is going to most certainly be a curb stomping... But then it's the Rockies! And the Astros - we already beat those guys!
I think June is going to be fun. Our lineup is hardly God's gift to baseball, but I think they can drag us through June at least. There's still an empty slot on the roster, and I can't wait to see who earns it. I'm really rooting for Culpepper! And I'm eager to see what recovers first - the starting pitching or the offense. We've finally got the bullpen... Not actively drowning. So one of the two has to start coming back! Right?
Right...?
