Twins - move along, nothing to see here
Well that day/night double-header sucked the energy out of my Wednesday (being unemployed means I woke up excited to watch 2 ball games.) BTW - why do they call them 'day/night' double-headers, ever heard of a morning/afternoon one?
Anyway, leave it to Howard to get us though the mucky muck of yesterday. I think overlooked in this rocky start to the season is that Mauer isn't behind home plate. Yes, I agree that Mauer, Morneau, Kubel is going to make some people pick their poison and the offense will come around but I also think he probably can "call" a game and help out our staff a bit more than Redmond or Morales.
One more thing, Morillo was on the mound yesterday and the gun was hitting high 90's. Granted he was all over the place but he's got the HEAT and it was fun to watch a Twin throw true smoke.

First: would the real Francisco Liriano please stand up?!? My lord, what a debacle. Though as Sinker points out, he looked brilliant at time...just walked too many dudes.
Overall, great points by Howard, as usual. I think the absence of Mauer is a legitimate excuse, but if we don't improve when he returns, then what's the excuse? Can we really blame our pitching woes on his injury?

Not blaming our pitching woes on the catcher as Glen is throwing well but I think that Mauer may have been able to help out Liriano or Baker a bit more than Morales. Might not be worth much but might be worth one more "W."
