Minnesota Sucks

I had the "pleasure" of going to the series finale against the Twins in the Metrodome. Allow me to say, we are very spoiled by Miller Park. About the only thing that kept me from thinking I was at some random Double-A game were the moon shots that Morneau, Mauer, and Crede hit. Otherwise everything else screamed minor leagues to me. Thank God that place is getting replaced next year, even if games will be snowed out in May up there. the concourse was dark and cramped. The scoreboards were small and impossible to find. They had every single gimmick between innings that one could think of. The sound system was worthless. You couldn't understand if the PA announcer was speaking in English or Chinese w/the echos.

Allow me to say good riddance to the Triple-H Dome. Who cares if the new stadium is across the street from a garbage burning facility! It's not like the Metrodome had a pleasant aroma to it anyway!

Twins sweep Brewers

Cuddyer stomps Brew Crew

Welcome to the other Brewers rivalry. The Twins stay hot after yesterday's shellacking of the White Sox, and pin the Brewers 11-3. Not only did the Brewers show no enthusiasm, Michael Cuddyer was able to hit for the cycle against the Crew with a broken bat triple.

Manny Parra struggled mightily after giving the Crew five straight quality starts, by giving up 8 earned runs in 3 1/3 innings of work. With tonight's outing Parra's ERA rose to 5.79. Even the budding confidence of Parra, will this loss curb his confidence?

In more injury news, JJ Hardy left the game in the bottom of the fourth with back spasms.

The Twins are now 5-2 against the Brewers in interleague play in the last two years.

And when are the Brewers just going to start Mat Gamel every day? This situation seems to remind me of Braun's scenario. Well guess what, Braun produced way more runs, than he gave up....time to start Gamel!

Tomorrow night it will be Braden Looper pitching against Anthony Swarzak, making his first appearance.
