"Twins win totals, 2002-2006: 94, 90, 92, 83, 96. Four division titles in five years. You're telling me that a team that won four division titles in a five year stretch ending in 2006 is the seventh worst franchise in all of sports?
Fire Joe Morgan's Ken Tremendous, refuting a claim by Fox Sport's Dave Golokhov.
"There were so many times over the course of the last 20 years - when we had Greg Gagne, he was so fast, and people said, 'Why doesn't he steal more bases?' And Tom Brunansky, 'Well, he hits for power, but he's only a .270 hitter,' " he said. "I've kind of quit looking at what (players) can't do and how you wish they could do this or that and kind of appreciate them for what they (can) do."
Twins Assistant GM Rob Antony, in reference to Joe Mauer not yet hitting for power.

Punto Headed to 15-Day DL
As the plague takes out yet another player, the Twins will this time look to Alexi Casilla to step into whatever void Punto had been filling. Casilla was scratched from his game Saturday night, and was hitting .219/.350/.250 in 96 at-bats with the Rochester Red Wings. He was only 4/7 in stolen base attempts, but had a perfectly even 1:1 walk-to-strikeout ratio.
After initially injuring the arm Wednesday in Chicago, Punto tested the arm Saturday with negative results. With his injury and Brendan Harris out due to a tight hamstring, the Twins were limite to Craig Monroe and Mike Redmond off the bench Saturday night.

Pitcher Analysis: Nick Blackburn
Lots of content for everyone today! At the end of April, Driveline Mechanics posted their analysis and breakdown of Blackburn, his results and his mechanics. It's a superb look, and even though it takes a few minutes to get through it's worth the investment. It's really excellent work.

Gavin Floyd, Really?
Over at South Side Sox, The Cheat walks us through Floyd's great start to the season, and his ownership of the Twins offense Tuesday night. It's a good read.

I'm tired of going out there and feeling the way I am on the mound. I haven't been comfortable in awhile. It's frustrating. I'm ready for my stuff to start feeling right, and for me to start throwing pitches that I'm comfortable with; something that I can trust.
