When Will it End?

Missed pop ups, 12 opportunities to drive in a run with only one success, how many games do the Twins expect to win while scoring 2 runs or less. I noticed Johan Santana allowed 4 runs to the Yankees in 7+ innings and chalked up a 7-4 win. If he was still in a Twins uniform he'd have last 4-2. We wasted another good outing by Leave 'em on Hernandez, and a decent game tossed by Kevin Slowey. Kevin is 0-4 now. When he came up from the minors he was touted as the next Brad Radke, and he hasn't disappointed. Keep the ball around the plate, don't walk anybody, limit the mistakes to two or three per game, which are then hit about 400 feet by the opponents, and lose 4-2. These "New Look Twins" do not look new at all. They look like the 1962 Mets, (or the Bad News Bears). Only Mauer and Morneau have shown any consistency at the plate. With Denard Span hitting .375 at Rochester, it's time for our outfield to step up now.
