I almost think it was better when the team was getting blown out. It is very frustrating to have the bullpen rip the team's guts out over and over. Kevin Slowey needs to man up and pitch 300 innings out of the 'pen, and the Twins should send their 5 best prospects to the Angels for Torii Hunter who could play in the middle infield and the outfield and close. If they made these moves, I'm sure the team would win their next one hundred and nine games in a row.
I apologize, but between their poor play and stuff in my life I have very little to say about this game or this team right now. I assume you all understand. Now I will return to listening to "Let's Get This Paper" by Rich Boy (Warning: Explicit Lyrics, absolutely bananas beat) on repeat for the rest of the evening.
Final Score: Detroit Tigers 8, Minnesota Twins 7
Twins Record: 17-36, 15.5 GB in the AL Central. This may as well be 115.5 GB.
WP: Al Alburqerque (3-1) | LP: Kevin Slowey (0-36)
Huh. I thought Slowey was 1-36.
on the plus side of things, Jason Morneau is back
NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

Morneau is hitting .308/.345/.487 in his last 19 games.
This is the sort of thing that does help keep me out of a state of total despair for the future of the team.
"...the future of the team." Short-term or long-term future? I'm convinced they'll get healthy, go on a tear and win enough games this summer to blame the injuries (and not the offseason FO decisions) for the poor first half, allowing them to basically keep the team as is.
I meant short term.
Long term, I'm not sure how I feel about that.
