Jay Sherman pretty much sums up the state of the Twins starting pitching

Yes, they all stink. The Tigers had 16 (!) hits and were walked 3 times. Its a shame because ever since Jason Justin Morneau has returned to the lineup 9 games ago, the Twins have been scoring a lot of runs and hitting the ball with some authority. (6.4 runs per game, 10 HRs, and a slash line of .273/.340/.450/.790) But, are only 5-4 and have slipped to 11 games behind the Tigers in the AL Central.
Twins start a string of afternoon games starting today. Carl Pavano is on the mound. hopefully he can go 6 innings.
I am fairly confident he could go 6 innings, I'm just not sure how many runs he might give up in doing so.
Sounds like an old-fashioned manager's feud. As Buster Olney said, can you imagine Earl Weaver tweeting angrily about Billy Martin? Joe Maddon on Luke Scott being hit by a pitch by the Red Sox' Franlin Morales in the ninth:
