Gleeman has been telling us for weeks that Correia has a history of pitching well in April and then turning back into a pumpkin. That seemed to play out in his last start when he gave up four runs in five innings versus the Indians. Let's hope that history stops repeating itself tonight. And if it does have to repeat itself, let's see it be a repeat of last night.

Frank Bancroft managed seven teams in nine different seasons over the period of 1880-1902.
Infielder Tony Bartirome is better known as an athletic trainer, working for Pittsburgh from 1967-1985 and for Atlanta from 1986-1988.
We would also like to wish a happy birthday to UncleWalt’s youngest child.
It's consistently over 95-100 here now, and we're just not rich enough to keep it as cool as I'd like. Well, maybe I'll sweat off those pounds I've gained by getting lazy and eating fast food.

Outfielder Turkey Stearns was a star in the Negro Leagues from 1923-1940, posting a slugging percentage of .619.
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.
