Know Thine Enemy: Over the Monster
Blackburn has been the Twins' most consistent starter on the year. In all but two starts, he's pitched at least six innings, with five Quality Starts and five games of seven or more innings. The Twins need innings out of him after last night's short start by Francisco Liriano.

it will be interesting to see
how long it will take before they put Ortiz out to pasture. He has just been awful.
He claims he is hitting a HR tonight, we’ll see.
dont want to jinx it
but it seems the twins have a way of helping other players get out of slumps…
Anyone remember the last time
the Twins had hit more HR as a team that the Red Sox at this point in the season?
That is a fantastic PA by Span
Wow. I don’t know that I’ve ever been more wrong about a player.

you're not alone
Many had given up on Span. The only credible explanation I’ve heard is the contacts
tonights lineup
is a lot better than yesterdays
Delmon Young:
Spreading the love all over the majors by doing his part to make pitchers everywhere feel good about themselves.

Seriously
He is in danger of setting some nasty records.
Fewest xbh per ab
most K per ab
What to do with this guy?
Free Gomez!
That’s my mention for tonight
stop by Waving the Wheat (http://wavingthewheat.wordpress.com/) and The College Hockey Blog (http://thecollegehockeyblog.wordpress.com/)
Sorry
I cannot get excited about Gomez. If not for Young, he would be the worst offensive OF in the AL
Well the Dodgers have had Juan Pierre in CF for years
and we all know what kind of offensive juggernaut L.A. has been…
oh wait…

Pierre is back in the field
in LA and he is succeeding right now because he is getting playing time. Gomez is much better than Pierre to begin with too.
And here I thought you didn't have much of a sense of humor
and took yourself too seriously,
and made completely hyperbolic statements about players or issues…
man was I wrong!

how do you know that
Gomez is only bad right now because he is getting spotty starts. He needs to start everyday in order to succeed. Plus, you cannot keep Gomez out of the lineup cause even though he is one of the worst OF in the AL at the plate right now, he is the second best OF in the field behind only Grady Sizemore!
uh no
If the Twins gave Gomez everyday playing time he would still be one of the worst offensive OF in the major leagues. Maybe someday he will improve, but right now he is just plain bad. Just look at the numbers,
Delmon Trade Possibilities:
J.J. Hardy – Delmon Young + 1
Jeremy Affeldt – DY + A man
Russ Springer – DY
Bag of balls are about
$9 down here
$2 for foot long
.50 for the bun
I doubt we would be lucky to get the bag of balls for Delmon…that would be like trading Delmon for David Wright.
Coomer called it
With Pedroia up, he said it was a tough matchup for Blackburn and was exactly right.
A lot of people make fun of Coomer and Smalley, but I think they are pretty knowledgeable. Coomer isn’t smooth, but that is kinda refreshing.

Gotta give Jacoby credit
That was about as good a catch as you will see.
by Alexi Casilla All-Star on May 26, 2009 9:41 PM EDT reply actions
Wow
Is this the bottom of the Twins’ order?
by Alexi Casilla All-Star on May 26, 2009 9:44 PM EDT reply actions
Lester had a Baker moment
or a Liriano moment

Is it just me
or is the strike zone extremely small tonight? Im watching gameday and some pretty obvious strikes are being called balls.
that must have been an interesting play
they got a run, but we still got out of the inning
more shocking
a .611 OPS – that’s Carlos Gomez level bad.
by montanatwinsfan on May 26, 2009 10:44 PM EDT up reply actions
Oh yep,
and I’m pretty sure Ortiz can’t run. So…is Gomez really better than Ortiz right now?
I can outrun a mule deer.
Actually, as funny as that question is...
the answer is a resounding yes. Gomez can at least play D, and plays a position which traditionally doesn’t require much offense.
Ortiz is a DH, nad can’t hardly play D anywhere … painful falling apart of a very good, very likeable player.

Sure sounds like it. I thought he was just getting off to a slow start, but this is just awful.
I can outrun a mule deer.
I thought it might be a slow start too,
but now I don’t think Dora the Explorer could find his swing at this point.
by montanatwinsfan on May 26, 2009 10:55 PM EDT up reply actions
Sorry Mr. Ortiz,
Boots and I just can’t find your swing.
by montanatwinsfan on May 26, 2009 10:59 PM EDT up reply actions
I would never have guessed that Julio Lugo would have a higher avg. than Ortiz this season.
I can outrun a mule deer.
and yet Shrek... I mean Ortiz
will probably be voted to the All Star game… as a 1B!
oh the humanity and colmes
I'd say something like "sample size"
but I wouldn’t sample say that to size anyone.
by montanatwinsfan on May 26, 2009 11:05 PM EDT up reply actions
not me,
I got the real deal baby, full sized candles…
by montanatwinsfan on May 26, 2009 11:09 PM EDT up reply actions
Hey I think that's Joe Mauer,
but that sure ain’t his sacroiliac…?!
by montanatwinsfan on May 26, 2009 11:10 PM EDT up reply actions
Thats the game!
Twins win 5-2
great start by blacky
