I've seen conflicting reports on various websites. Also, will Figaro get the spot start this Saturday agaisnt the ChiSox? ESPN has Verlander and Jackson listed as the starters for the Friday day/night DH and undecided on Saturday. Whoever starts Tuesday will start the Sunday night game vs. the Fightin' Ozzies. I hope we are going with Porcello Tuesday/Sunday and coming back with Battlestar on Wednesday vs. King Felix and then to open the series at TEX Monday night. This way we get all three of our top starters in the big series with the Fightin' Ozzies. Does anyone know if Porcello or Galarraga is pitching Tuesday night?

Wow. The Twins blow a 12-2 lead and lose 14-13 with the game ending on Cuddyer getting thrown out at home trying to score from second on a wild pitch. Unbelievable. Thank you Oakland! Now if TB would wake up in CHI and start playing the way they were the two weeks heading into the AS break it sure would be nice. Nice to see other teams have meltdowns besides us. Wow.

OUT!! GAME OVER!! Twins are going ballistic about the call, and I'm outta here.

So far for the MIN bullpen:

And this after the Twins were up 12-2. To the anemic A's. Now THAT's a bullpen meltdown.

Reyes, Beltran, Delgado, and Sheffield are all hurting. Daniel Murphy and his .669 OPS is batting 3rd. David Wright and his 5 HR's this year is batting 4th. Jeff Francoeur and his .640 OPS is batting 5th. Then the rest going down just gets worse. The Tigers are in great shape compared to them. The Mets line-up sure does looks gloomy these days.

Daniel Murphy and his .669 OPS is batting 3rd.
David Wright and his 5 HR’s this year is batting 4th.
Jeff Francoeur and his .640 OPS is batting 5th.
Then the rest going down just gets worse.

The Tigers are in great shape compared to them.

That's inflated by Colorado, sure, but he still posted 632, 632, and 681 with the Giants and the Cubs all of which are better than the 611 Anderson has puked up so far this year. He's got speed, though. Good analogy, billfer. Frankly, I’d be happy with Neifi-like production, he at least posted a 672 OPS for his career.
