Liriano started out really sharp, had a few rough patches but landed nicely. Adding him is kind of like a trade without a trade.

After the adventures they've had in left field this series, let's hope Young and Kubel are taking some extra fly ball practice out there. Gomez made a great unheralded play on the fly ball that Kubel completely lost on Sunday.

Was that 'brawl' in KC one of the weakest ever, even for a baseball brawl. Let's hope we did see the implosion of the ChiSox but everytime they've had controversy this year they seem to pick it up and play better.

And Neutron that's it, I was on the Cafe DL the last three months. The rotator cuff's been repaired so I should be good to go for a little while anyway.

Well, yes, but at least A.J. got the ol' El Kabong and was dropped on his ass. That was fun to see.

Once again, jealousy of a Johnson program rears it's ugly head.

Is that your old special-ed helmet that you wore on the short bus?

Nope... I didn't play soccer.

Real Futbol doesn't require helmets ( Not many wear them in Rugby either)

OK NOW BACK TO THE TWINS

You guys have me watching and I like your insight - feel free to ask if you have any questions about the EPL throughout the season that starts this week

The Twins just cant go and get a hitter.They have got to be concerned about what effect that would have on Jason Kubels at bats.

I mean, think about it, who needs Thomas, Beltre, Dunn, Griffey etc when you got Kubel.

Mike "The Natural" Lamb skins an RBI double to left to get the Twins on the board in the first.

Perkins needs a good road start.

Clever.

Wasn't it actually more of a Lamb chop down the line?

I feel like throwing up, I am so glad that I didn't stay up to watch that embarrasment of a game......

Youch, that was a tough loss last night, I think Govs little animated graphic gets to the point. The bullpen continues to be the Achilles heel of this team. Maybe Radke could come out of retirement to help out in the late innings

Let's see how they bounce back.

He's still in town selling cars in Burnsville... sign him up... He'll fit nicely into Boof's jersey.

By the way... doesn't his kid play hockey for EP?
