Game 27: Minnesota 2, Seattle 5
Blackburn is 0-4.
Ryan Doumit hit 2 home runs. They accounted for the only 2 runs and, with his 4th inning single, he accounted for 60% of the Twins' hits in the game. EDIT - He also walked.
Mountie to the DL.
Dozier & Diamond up from Rochester tomorrow.
Butters on a major league club is beyond ssstupid.
That is all.
I lied, that is not all. I don't like having to work at watching baseball...but I'm almost there and we're only 27 games in.

Twins still have a chance to salvage something from this road trip with a win today.
Game 26 Recap: Twins @ M’s
On the surface, this looks like a tough matchup. On all the other levels, it looks like one, too.
mmhmmm...
On the surface, Marquis giving up two runs in six innings sounds decent enough, but he walked six in his six innings, along with the four hits that he scattered, so without the three double plays, this could've been a lost worse.
Luckily, the Twins got a hit (just one, though) to make sure they didn't get no hit twice in a week.
Golly this team is fun to watch right now.

I'm on the back half of a close-open. On Saturday-Sunday. What a morale killer.

Willie or Ray, Ray or Willie? Who should I use to close this out? Why not just use both.
