Diamond (8-3, 2.96 ERA) vs. Mendoza (3-6, 4.32 ERA)
The sparkle has faded ever so slightly from Diamond, but he's still been far and away the best starter we've had. Even a slightly scuffed up Diamond is worth more than a Blackburn.
Besides. The Royals only managed one run in seven innings against the guy who was on pace to have the worst ERA+ ever. Diamond has to pitch a good 8 hitless innings, right?

My promotion last night makes four people who are regulars of either here, the Casa de Leche or both who've significantly increased their quality of life in the past week. It's time to play the lottery, Citizens.
Bad news guys, (a) Jeremy is back. The good news is that he's not scheduled to start against the Twins during this series. Unfortunately, Blackburn is also back and scheduled to start.
Nick Blackburn
v
Luke Hochever
Blackburn started for Rochester four times, pitched 21 innings, and have up eight runs (six earned). He also struck out seven, walked five, and gave up 20 hits. Proving he had a lot nothing else to learn, the Twins decided to call him up.
The Red Wings trail by five but come back to win by six. New Britain and Elizabethton are suspended. The Lugnuts are dejected and ejected during a doubleheader sweep by the Snappers.

So, who's coming to the Lydia Loveless show at Triple Rock tonight? Only $8, as much as you were gonna pay to see another movie about batty men and their spiders. Those batty men will still be at the theatre tomorrow night, but Lydia will only be in our fine metropolis for tonight. (Tomorrow night, she's in Grand Rapids, MN.)
