Blackburn, Twins hand Tigers MLB-worst 10th shutout
Nick Blackburn combined with two relievers on a five-hitter, and Joe Mauer's two-out, two-run single sparked a five-run third inning that led the surging Minnesota Twins over the Detroit Tigers 7-0 on Wednesday.

Twins report: Notes, quotes
--LHP Francisco Liriano, pitching for Triple-A Rochester, has returned to the 3/4 arm slot that was so successful for him in 2006

Twins report: Roster

Twins report: Inside pitch
For Nick Blackburn, his seven shutout innings against Detroit on Wednesday were a relief

Short Hops: Fundamentally sound Twins getting it done with what they have
Tell the truth, did you expect the Twins to fare this well after losing two-time Cy Young award winner Johan Santana? Scott Miller isn't surprised as nobody in baseball pays more attention to fundamentals than Minnesota.

Michael Cuddyer has become a fan favorite, I'll admit this. But what we also need to realize is that Cuddyer has only ever had one good season (2006 - 24 hr, 109 rbi, .282 avg). On top of that, he's 29 years old, and is in the middle of his "prime".

Last season, he got on base at the same clip as the year before, but wasn't ...(more)

The Twins are off today, the Pale Hose are at home hosting the A's. (Currently losing to Oakland, too 3-2 in the 6th at time of this post HA!) We're two and a half back of the White Sox, who are now on a hot streak of 7 games. A's lost thier last 2. Either way, if the A's can spoil ...(more)

I've started up a fantasy football newsletter. Right now, it's a hobby, but later on, who knows? It's e-mailed once a week.

If you'd be interested in receiving it (I can send you a sample), please let me know at Candleman000@yahoo.com. If you like it, great; if not, I can tak ...(more)

(POLL) With our young pitching being outstanding as of late, what are we going to do when Liriano gets back?

Who here wishes we could get back Garza?  I know I do.

Young is worthless.  We traded Garza and a top pitching prospect for .278 BA, 2 HR's, 28 RBI, and 39 runs scored?

Garza just pitched a one-hitter and is 7-4.

Good thing the Twins never really gave him a chance and stiffled his development and we ...(more)
