I witnessed a miraculous come from behind win over the White Sox on Sunday. Nick Blackburn was not very good but he was not horrible either. While I am not a big fan of the contact pitcher, I was hoping he'd do well. He seems appropriately humble when talking about his recent performances. After pitching five decent innings, he fell apart. The Twins fell behind. I figured by the 8th inning it was pretty much over. I amused myself watching the four-year old in front of me consume a cup of chocolate chip cookies, his second treat of the game.
But the bottom of the ninth turned out to be one exciting inning. With bases loaded, Delmon Young hit a blooper to drive in the tying run, then a wild throw toward home gave Cuddy the chance to run home for the win.
We were all hoping winning the series against the Sox and the exciting way we won the last game would add up to a great start to the second half of the season. But the very next outing with Baker pitching against Cleveland proved we've got some major problems to fix. Baker's outing was worse than Blackie's and the Twins offense was pretty sad too.
I'll be at the third Cleveland game tomorrow. let's hope we are on a good roll.
