I believe it was a couple weeks ago when myself and others had decided that the Twins had a nice young pitching staff with a lot of potential and a great future. Hey, with the return of Baker looming, things were looking pretty good. Baker had a decent return, but every other start since then has been awful. So far in the series with the White Sox Blackburn, Hernandez and Slowey have all been beat up on by the slugging sox. Not to mention the bullpen has now been overworked as Gardy has been unable to get a quality start by any of his guys. What to do now, there isn't exactly a lot of pitching talent waiting in the minors. This was supposed to be the group. The Twins have now lost 5 of 6 and have practically joined Detroit and Clevend in the AL Central cellar. Meanwhile the Sox continue to put ground between themselves and the rest of the division. I have to give it the Sox, they made a lot of smart moves this off season and have put together what looks like a serious AL contender. They have a lineup that I could only pray the Twins would have someday. Swisher, Crede, Konerko, Thome and Quenten can all mash with the best of em. I like this team's chances.
Well, where do the Twins go from here? They need a win badly at this point and with one more game remaining against the Sox they could find themselves 6.5 games back by Monday afternoon. Lets hope they can get out of this rut, remember it is a long season.
