After a very nice start to the roadtrip, I kind of expected the Twins to lay an egg here. I just didn't expect it to be an ostrich egg. Marquis hasn't exactly been a model of success and his mound opponent, Zack Greinke, hadn't lost a home start in Milwaukee (14-0). He wouldn't lose today either. The Twins managed to plate a run in the top of the 1st after a Revere double and Willingham RBI single, but it was all Brewers after that. Hart and Lucroy smashed solo shots in the home half of the 1st and Milwaukee added 6 more in the 2nd. To be honest, I mentally checked out after that, only tuning back in when I heard that Butters would be pitching in the 8th. I enjoyed this years installment of "The High Point of..." even more than last years. He also picked up an RBI today, taking a bases loaded walk in the 9th to push across the Twins' 4th run. Oh, yeah - the singles hitting pussy only managed to go 4-5 today, pushing his average back up to .293.

an ostrich egg makes a ginormous omelet.
Mmmmm, ginormous omelets.

It's time to play our favorite game, Player A vs. Player B
Player A 360/429/480, 9.0 K/9, 0.00 ERA
Player B 375/412/750, 10.9 K/9, 2.21 ERA
Let's try another one:
GPA = (1.8*OBP + SLG)/4. GPA properly weights OBP.
Player A: .270/.368/.399 GPA .265
Player B: .293/.395/.401 GPA .278
Player C: .301/.364/.487 GPA .286
I continue to believe Mauer will have a pretty pre-2010 Mauer - esque season
Yeah, too little, too late.
I'd love to see a new banner made so we can retire Cuddy's "high point" banner. Actually, I think we need replacements for several that need retiring.
i blame spoonto for this team's performance as last year's crap has yet to be purged 😉
