Still no Timetable for Morneau


With how hot the Twins have been since the All Star break, it’s hard to believe they’ve been without their star first baseman, Justin Morneau.  Morneau was injured early in July against the Blue Jays, while sliding into second to break up a double play.

Blackburn’s Revenge


Last month, I couldn’t think of Nick Blackburn without following his name with words and phrases like: struggle, bum, waste of space, self-implosion, or my favorite, Brian Duensing’s-rotation-spot.  Now I want to think of a really cool nickname for Blackburn to make it up to him.  Something like Black-Out Blackburn.
