Update
Since last Tricia and I wrote the Twins lost the last game of the Oakland series and dropped the first game in 10 innings with the Texas Rangers. I was on the phone with her during the bottom of the 3rd inning talking about how awesome Justin’s grand slam was. Bit by bit during that inning Texas tied that sucker up. Damn! It happens, I guess. After that both teams went inning after inning without scoring a run. Fast forward to the bottom of the 10th:
Juan Rincon was pitching. I have noticed that he is normally lights out or he has all kinds of trouble. Once he had walked Jason Botts and there were runners on 1st and 2nd I knew that was going to be it. David Murphy got a hit to left field….game over. Yuck. It was just yucky.
This is what I know to be true:
**Justin’s grand slam was still awesome
**I’m glad that Francisco Lariano is going back to the minors so that he can fine tune and improve his pitching. I’m not ready to give up on him and I’m glad that the Twins aren’t either.
**Sidney Ponson is pitching for the Rangers tonight. He had an ERA of about 600 during the short time he pitched for the Twins. We have GOT to be able to muster some good hits tonight.
**Scotty Baker is pitching for the Twins. I don’t see any reason why he won’t be fantastic tonight!
**Becca**
We simply HAVE to win tonight. Think about how embarrassing a loss to Ponson would be? I refuse to accept that.
can i make friend with you??
