But that doesn't necessarily mean he'll have success elsewhere (see Baker, Scott).<BR/><BR/>5 of the last 6 times the Twins lost the series opener, they lost game 2 as well. I feel like Santana is going to have to be perfect tonight.Ray Felix, IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08579656540833115909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-37961199606306264302007-06-19T12:26:00.000-05:002007-06-19T12:26:00.000-05:00Well, it kind of hard these days not to.

This team's offense is far too inconsistent and so frustrating, that its hard not to find yourself saying those things every night or every other night. I'd say its a good thing they are facing Jorge Sosa tonight, who is a mostly lucky mediocre pitcher, but it feels like Sosa has a chance to shut them out too. Last year, it was this time they found their stride, but they haven't come close to hitting their stride this year.Nick M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05029328242185237902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-17688683869987821292007-06-19T07:07:00.000-05:002007-06-19T07:07:00.000-05:00Good work, I have to agree with your points.

I think Silva and his low K rate will always be up and down because he relies so heavily on his defense to bail him out.<BR/><BR/>The 'offensive ineptitude' tag is the Mike Marshall of this blog, it just keeps going out there day after day, no sign of wearing down or becoming less effective.<BR/><BR/>Here's hoping we see the 'offensive aptitude' tag sometime soon.Ray Felix, IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08579656540833115909noreply@blogger.com
