  1. More starter stats:
    Bedard: 1.27 WHIP, 1.02 Ground/Fly ratio, 45.2 IP, 17 BB, 41K
    Dunce: 1.53 WHIP, 1.04 Ground/Fly ratio, 47 IP, 17 BB, 31K
    Dunce's ERA WHIP and Ground/Fly ratio are off their career averages (3.37, 1.31, 1.31 respectively), but everything else I listed is right about their career averages.

  2. No comments for 18 minutes? I assume interweb problems... or we've all abandoned ship on an early weekday game in which we are already behind two runs?

    1. I saw Butters working a strike out from a 3-0 count and suddenly got very lethargic about the game.

    1. On my way to lunch, I heard Dazz & Jack talking about how Casilla bumped his average over .200 yesterday... and how if he keeps being a "hot hitter" you can't take him out of the lineup. Is this what we've been reduced to as Twins fans?

  3. Mark Haines of CNBC died today. I will miss his "Liiiiiiivvvvveeeeee, from the financial capital of the world" call every morning at 8:00 am Central. (2 minutes after my kids get on the bus). So sad.

          1. I could certainly make it never happen on the WGOM, and that's what counts right?

    1. I think Gardy forgot that you're supposed to try to get insurance runs, not give insurance runs.

  4. The reason Blackburn pitched a CG last night? Because none of the pitchers available to pitch the 9th had a save during their careers.

    Ugh.

    1. At least he was blaming the state of the bullpen, so he was almost correct.

  5. I know it's a day game for a rotten team, but <55 LTEs has to be in the running for the two-or-three-year low, doesn't it?

    1. After a little bit of investigation:
      This is the lowest for this year, 62 was the lowest for 2010, and 41 was the lowest for 2009.

    1. The Twins start four lefties, Tolbert, Casilla and Butera against a hard-throwing lefty. Who could have imagined we would struggle to score runs? Oh well. We win the first game like we should have and this would be a "who cares" loss.

      1. Unless they rip off winnning like, 16 out of 20 games, every loss is a "who cares" loss at this point. Just padding that draft position.

        1. I'm just looking at reasons to feel good about the team in the short term. If they had won the first two games, you could shrug off this loss because they won the series. The sad reality is, you can shrug off this loss because they never had the lead and they didn't get swept.
