Scott Baker's brilliant performance last night was wasted on what I felt was a bad decision from the moment I saw who was coming out of the bullpen for the eighth inning. Is that a run-on sentence? Anyway, where was I...oh yeah: Brian Bass?!?
Coco Crisp and Jason Varitek are out of the lineup tonight for Nick Blackburn, who's going to need more than zero runs of support from his offense in order to log a victory. The Minnesota lineup looks exactly the same except for Brendan Harris hitting seventh and playing third base for Brian Buscher.
WIN TWINS!!!
