Game 81: Record 44-37

One big inning is all the Twins need

After giving up a 2 run HR to Justin Morneau, RP gave up a couple more walks and a hit to make it 3-0 Twins. Then came the huge play. Ball hit into the hole between SS and 3B. Adam Everett fields it and throws it wild to Ramon covering second, allowing 3 runs to score. Horrible mistake. This is an error regardless of how it is scored. 3 runs scored on that play when it should have been 1. Horrible. Now it is 6-0 instead of a more manageable 4-0 deficit.

Offense was non-existent until the 9th, when they had a few hits including Brandon going deep for a 2 run HR. With two men on and two out, Leyland let Adam Everett hit instead of pinch hitting Marcus or Placido or even Ryan Raburn. Adam grounded out meekly to SS to end the game. Do not understand that move.

Three against KC next. I will be at Comerica tomorrow to see Armando against Gil Meche.
