I wish Burt had Twitter.

I had to quit watching after the 7th last night, it was just too painful.

But, today is a new day and with it a new matchup of the Twins and Jays.  Likely pitching for Minnesota is Liriano.  Also, Gardy is thinking about benching Crede tonight to give the man, who has started 9 or the last 10 games, a rest.  That robot back he has now better hold up ...

Also, the only two (really??) African-Americans on the Twins, Span and Young, shared some of their thoughts about last night's anniversary marking Jackie Robinson's entry into baseball:

"He was an angel sent from God, I feel. Not that many people could go through what he went through. Because of him, I'm here today." [Denard Span]

That's pretty damn powerful.  Young added:

"He did a lot for the game," Young said of Robinson. "It brought people who probably never watched baseball to watch baseball, to see a person succeed in a game they weren't supposed to succeed at, at that time."

Here's hoping the boys, after another suck-fest last night, can throw down a win tonight against the Dirty Blue Birds so I don't have to wash my face with my own tears before I go to bed.
