Twins Torch Royals, Score 19


I’ve been trying to shy away from the game recaps, but I couldn’t resist this one.  In an offensive blowout of epic proportions, Minnesota embarrassed Kansas City, dropping 19 runs on their AL Central rivals in an 18-run win on Monday night.  It was so bad, embarrassed may not even be a good enough word.  It was so bad, that I had to dig into Thesaurus.com to find a decent synonym for ‘embarrassed’, but couldn’t find one good enough leaving me to use a combination of: abash, agitate, annoy, bewilder, bother, bug, catch one short, chagrin, confuse, discombobulate, discomfit, discompose, disconcert, discountenance, distract, distress, disturb, dumbfound, faze, fluster, give a bad time, give a hard time, hang up, irk, let down*, make a monkey of, mortify, nonplus, perplex, perturb, plague, put in a hole, put in a spot, put on the spot, put out of countenance, puzzle, rattle, shame, show up, stun, tease, throw, throw into a tizzy, upset.  You get the idea.

Francisco Liriano came out Wednesday and pitched like it’s May all over again.  After pitching into the eighth against Chicago last weekend, Liriano tossed seven scoreless frames against the Indians, to salvage the series and halt the Tribe’s winning streak at six games, in Minny’s 6-0 victory.

Last time I had this headline, it had a question mark at the end of it.  We can now say I called it.  The Twins said on Wednesday that they will move struggling starter Nick Blackburn to the bullpen and bring top reliever Brian Duensing into the rotation.
