Congratulations to our Twins for a 7 game streak and 9 of the last 10. I've been a Kevin Slowey fan since he was mowing them down in Fort Myers several years ago, and he has not disappointed. A great outing last night, besting Jake Peavy, one of the best in the NL. And for that great job, Kevin got an attaboy, and a NO DECISION! Dennys Reyes, who threw one pitch and retired one batter was credited with the "W". This is crap and everyone should know it. Why bother to keep a W-L stat for pitchers when there are so many flaws in the system. Pitchers are credited for wins or losses based on how many runs the offense scores, and which inning they are scored. Pitchers have no control of this function of the game in the American League, and very little in the National League. So who should care about wins and losses as individual stats. I'll stick to the standings. Congrats to Brendan Harris and Brian Buscher also. Joe, Justin, and Jason need help some days, and last night was one of those days.
Vote for Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, and Go Twins!!
