Wow. I don't remember the last time I had such a dramatic mood swing in a 24-hour period.
Recap:
Monday: Twins 7 - Tigers 2
Tuesday: Twins 0 - Tigers 9 (Ouch! That hurt to write. In fact, it still hurts to think about. Someone grab some Advil for me. And maybe some ice. And rum.)
Twins split the stupid two-game series 1 each.
To compare and contrast the two games, I thought I'd make a spreadsheet showing my findings. This is a significant step for me; I'm afraid of spreadsheets.
Item | Monday’s Game | Tuesday’s Game |
Starting pitching | Excellent! | Not so much |
Defense | Solid | Not so much |
Timely hitting | Present | Not so much |
Patience at the plate | Yes | Not so much |
Doing the little things right | Definitely | Not so much |
Playing like major leaguers | Affirmative | Not so much |
Yup. The data shows the team can certainly afford to concentrate on a little consistency. Just remember guys: more like Monday, less like Tuesday.
Get them next time!

I could not agree more with your post!
The guys need to hold their heads up and keep going...it's only a month into the season.
The Crainadian is back, which is sure to make the starters more confident and Morneau more relaxed (because he has somebody to talk to now).
