June 7, 2012: Thunderous Comeback
So, how about OKC, eh?
Game 56: Twins bust a Capps in their a$$
Twins 4, Royals 2
WP: Blackburn (2-4 7.74 ERA), LP: Mendoza (2-3 5.36 ERA)
SAVE! Matt "Busta" Capps (14)
Twins Record 22-34, but the boyos are 7-3 in their last ten #itsmaybenotgoingtobethatbad
Let's look at the King of the Savers leader board, shall we. Perez sits atop the the list with 19 saves in 20 chances, but only Papleboner remains perfect with 15 saves in 15 opportunities.
This is all Nibbish's fault. Blackburn pitching respectably, Capps shutting the door, the offense not being offensive, wild betting, cats and dogs living together. It's mass hysteria. #itshappening
Culture club: Tomorrow I may be back to fill this in, but for now feast on this.

2012 Game 56: Return of the Pirate
Guess who's back?
Pitchers:
Twins - Nick Blackburn
KC - Ronald Paulino
Go Twins!
Game 55: Royals 1, Twins 0
I wonder if the Twins will consider retiring Bruce Chen's number when his playing days are over. Going by the eye test, he's the greatest pitcher the Major Leagues have ever seen. The boys definitely got Chenned last night.
On a positive note, Liriano looked pretty sharp again. I guess that means the front office can maybe move him for something. I don't know, I'll be sad to see him go. I hope he looks good while he's still in a Twins uniform.
I hope they can win the series tonight, but with Nic_ BBlac_bburn on the hill, I won't be holding my breath.
Minor Details: Games of 6/5
An ejection in Rochester. Two home runs are not enough in New Britain. The DSL Twins win in ten.
