Per LaVelle's postgame blog entry at the Strib, Glen Perkins hit a legit 97 on the gun last night. That's crazy. It also may give us the answer to the question of who gets the 9th inning in 2012.

Belly-itchers:

Nick Blackburn

#53 / Pitcher / Minnesota Twins

Height: 6-4

Weight: 240

Bats: R

Throws: R

Born: Feb 24, 1982

If he keeps it down in the zone, he'll do good. If he doesn't, he'll do bad. There: I've completely analyzed Nick Blackburn for you. No need to thank me, it's my job.

Gavin Floyd

#34 / Pitcher / Chicago White Sox

Height: 6-6

Weight: 240

Bats: R

Throws: R

Born: Jan 27, 1983

The only Gavin you can trust is Gavin MacLeod, TV's Capt. Merrill Stubing. You ain't never gonna be him, Gavin Floyd, not now, not ever.
