Tonight's Special Event: Retiring Bert Blyleven's Number (28)
It's been an up-and-down year for Pavano, although since the end of May there's only been one start which he'd probably like to take back. Expect more of the same from Pavstache: throwing strikes, trying to get hitters to swing at balls out of the strikezone, inducing weak contact on (hopefully) ground balls.
The Twins have already lit Francis up this year. He's been absolutely terrible away from Kauffman Field and right handed hitters tend to have a lot of success against him, so here's hoping that recipe for disaster sticks with him tonight.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. I should be back about halfway through the game. Win Twins!
