Game 45 recap: Tigers 10 Twins 6

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.

Wolves at San Antonio 7:30pm

Who saw this coming?

With the way Adelman ripped Darko! before the game for not keeping himself in shape, I wonder how much you'll see him even w/ Pek out

The Wolves are 2 games back of Houston for the #8 seed, but are 11th in the Western Conference. Because I havent looked at the standing in a while, I was surprised to see the Wolves with a losing record. This year, it seems like they have 45 wins!

Wolves @ LA Lakers 9:30pm

Last night's loss hurt. The Wolves are 2 games back for the 8th playoff slot and had a chance to cut it to a game behind Denver because they lost. I listened to bits and pieces of the game on the radio last night and things seems alright. Ridnour had 13 assists and 4 turnovers, but those 4 turnovers seemed to come at really bad times. JJ Barea seemed to have a bad game with 5 turnover. Paul Millsap had 8 steals and they all seemed like at the end of the game and overtime. Blarg.

Hopefully Kevin Love can go tonight, he hurt his thumb late in the game and had X-rays afterward. As of this writing, it seems like he is ok but the whole Twin Cities sports landscape has been snakebitten with injuries, one just never knows...a simple tweak turns out to be a broken everything it seems like.

Luke Ridnour has notched 32 assists to 11 turnovers since replacing Rubio.

Go Wolves
