Put That In Your Pipe And Smoke It

The Twins have scored ten runs in their last six games, and 34 in their last fourteen, dating back to July 23 in Toronto –I’ll do the math for you: that’s an average of 2.4 runs a game.

This nonsense, this incomprehensible futility, after scoring 34 runs in two games versus Chicago on July 6.

Tommy Watkins to the rescue!

It’s interesting to note that in Watkins’ ten-year minor league career he actually made two relief pitching appearances (for Fort Myers in 2002 and 2003), and didn’t give up any hits, walks, or runs in either of them.
