I don't suppose it would improve anyone's mood if I noted that Wilson Ramos went 3 for 4 with a HR and 5 rbi's today in his first game back from the DL.
I remember that before he gave up the HR Bert threw a curve ball for a strike that made Maye bail and give him the ol' "what in the world was that and where did you come from?" look.
I was at the Sunday evening game agains the Nats -- get Herrman in the lineup as much as possible. He looked like the only one out there who was fired up and wanted to play ball.
In the 3d inning there was an error on which should have been the second out and then it was promptly followed by four hits (one a HR) and a walk -- that resulted in the 5 unearned runs. True to form he gave up two earned runs in the first inning on 3 consecutive hits when there were two outs.
Not when you have 7 guys in the lineup batting under .240 and 6 batting .220 or worse. The Twins are almost like the 67 White Sox but without the pitching (another blast from the past).
