Well, it was pulled out from under us. The Milkmaid's promotion is dead, and it's all so infuriating I won't get into it here. Still, we have options. They're not as good as the one we were promised, but we're hopeful.

It is baseball. Kind of.
Here is the preview of the game from covers.com. They don't like the Twins chances. I can't really say I blame them.
Minor Details: Games of 5/7
Daisuke shuts down the Red Wings. The Miracle makes it 25 runs in two games. Sano hits another home run.
May 8, 2012: Worse Yet
I'm sort of saddened by the fact that I'm sitting through Twins losses and feeling nothing. I remember that feeling, but man, it's been a long time.

Mike Cuellar pitched in AAA in the Twins’ organization in 1961. He does not seem to have belonged to the Twins, however. It may be that he was temporarily loaned to them, a practice which was not uncommon in the 1960s.

Game Notes
Lineups
Jeebus, did the guys at the MLB Genius Bar secretly realign divisions and put us back in the AL West? This makes three series against this stupid Angels team in just over a month. Know how many series we've had against division opponents in that time? One. So yeah, I'm sick and tired of Torii Hunter kicking our collective ass (stop throwing him breaking balls in the strike zone, already!) and having to counter real starting pitching with our currently constituted rotation. It's like charging the beaches of Normandy with a slingshot and a bag of marshmallows for ammo. Oh, and Pujols is starting to hit the ball again. So we have that to look forward to. On the bright side, our offense this year is better than Oakland's. But on the dark side, they are the only AL team with an offense worse than the Twins at the moment.
ON THE HILL
Jered Weaver (4-0, 1.61 ERA, 2.00 FIP, 2.88 xFIP) - Last time out this guy threw a no-hitter. He was one walk and one passed ball from a perfect game. To be fair, he was facing one of the worst hitting lineups since the '62 Mets, but you have to tip your hat anyway. Weaver is the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter, then face the same team in his next start since Derek Lowe did it in 2002.
Francisco Liriano (0-4, 9.97 ERA, 6.75 FIP, 5.44 xFIP, ) - This guy is yet another reminder that spring training hype has all the substance of a popcorn fart. By now everybody except Liriano knows what Liriano's problem is. If pitching smarts were chocolate density, the F-Bomb would be a Three Musketeers bar. Because consistently overthrowing sliders when you get behind in the count only gets you further behind in the count. Consistently.
Play ball!
