This Week in (Twins) Baseball

Remember the old "This Week in Baseball" hosted by Mel Allen? Here is the theme song that immediately brought me back to 1984 sitting in front of my t.v. I did a little research (while totally unreliable and admittedly fraudulent, I like Wikipedia as my source of the "truth") and found that it apparently is still in existence on FOX before Saturday games where, instead of Mel Allen, they have a current player be the host. For some reason I remember the show included the "Rolaids Reliever of the Week" but can't remember, any help?

Anywho, didn't get to watch the game last night. Driving home I had it on the radio and MCA's boy Blackburn was still on the mound ready to start the 8th. Thought only good thoughts as I missed the rest of the game. Delmon Young gets this week's "Did He Really Just Do That" award of the week for nearly costing us the game. I also missed Delmon going up to Nathan in the dugout after the 9th inning to try and "hug it out" with Joe who apparently wanted no part of making up with Young. For all the bashing I do on Cuddy, he came through last night and he had a nice catch in the first inning but one game winning RBI and one good defensive play are but small steps in making up for a .237 batting average with that brand new $7M per year contract.

One interesting note, the Twins are something like 27th in the league for errors. After last night we may have moved to 28th. In Gardy's defense, there have been something like 6 different players at second and short and 5 different players at 3rd. Not a lot of consistency.
