Another day, another game for the Twins to blow in the 8th inning. The bullpen just hasn't been reliable and the starters just haven't left on good notes.
2 stars:
Joe Mauer - 2 for 4, 2 RBI, R, 2B. Mauer still isn't hitting like he should be. But this may be a positive change. I think the lineup - and Mauer especially - would really benefit from having Cuddyer back.
Craig Monroe - 2 for 4, RBI. I think there was a huge monkey on Monroe's back and maybe it came off tonight. At the very least, now we know he is capable of getting a hit (or two).
There is no one else worthy.
Scott Baker could have been considered, but he gave up 3 home runs. Only 5 hits and 2 walks over 7 innings (1.oo WHIP) is a pretty good start. But you can't give up 3 home runs. Lots of home runs (Santana) and early ones at that (Radke), it looks like we have our future #1.
On a separate note, the Top 7 performed tonight on American Idol.
I'll take the Davids (Archuleta and Cook) and call them safe.
I'm on the fence about Syesha, Brooke and Jason.
I think Carly and Kristy Lee are both in trouble.
That's all for tonight.
