The Twins took the third and final game of this three game series in the Metrodome with an 8-4 win over the M's. It was a rough day for Miguel Batista who was touched up for eight earned runs on nine hits in just two innings. Michael Cuddyer blasted what I believe to be the third Twins grandslam vs the M's this season. That came in the first inning, and was followed by three more in that inning and then one more in the second. Ryan Rowland-Smith then threw four innings of scoreless and hitless ball striking out six and walking two. The Mariners finally got on the board in the seventh via funk blast by Ben Broussard. Later in the inning, Yu-Bet tripled in Willie Bloomquist for the second run. In the next inning Guillen also tripled in a run followed by a sac-fly by Ibanez scoring Guillen for the fourth run. Richie Sexson, who homered last night, went 0 for 4 with two k's.
Tomorrow's Starters: Jeff Weaver (5-10, 5.57) vs. Kameron Loe (6-9, 5.56) Hopefully the Mariners will be able to take three of four from the last place Rangers who may be tired out after getting into record books in Baltimore. For anyone who didn't know, they scored the most runs in a game since 1897 in a 30-3 rout of the Orioles in the first game of a double header Wednesday night. It was one of those games where you remember exactly where you were when it happened. I was sleeping for most of the game and then woke up during the ninth inning. I looked at the score with my sleepy-eyes and did a double take when I saw the score; 24-3 at the time. I then watched Paul Shuey, a member of the worst bullpen I've ever seen, proceed to give up 6 more runs before the suffering was over. So now I'm sitting here watching the second game of a double header between these two teams, with Texas up 3-0 after two. The record-breaking rape game took almost three and a half hours and double headers can always be tiring. It may be a good thing to play Texas tomorrow...

The two most amazing stats in the 30-3 dismantling the Rangers gave the O's is that Wes Littleton actually got a save because he pitched three scoreless inning of relief and EVERY SINGLE RUN WAS EARNED!!!!!!!!...30 RUNS AND EVERY ONE OF THEM WAS EARNED!!! That and the fact that a guy "earned" a save in a 27 run blowout are absolutely ridiculous.....
