Jason Kubel's White Rocket posted by Dustin
The Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers are locked in a border battle of non-epic proportions. Compared to the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox rivalry, we are the two douche-bags on the play ground yelling about an ill-advised Magic the Gathering card throw.
Unfortunately for them, the Yankee’s and Red Sox’s players are tainted with steroids over the past decade so our border battle is pure like Columbian Cocaine right off the plane in Miami.
Last night Nick Blackburn lost a game that wasn’t his fault. He is looking like the Ace the Twins need for the future and yet the runs didn’t support him. Jason Kubel hit his 13th homer which keeps his 3rd place behind Justin Morneau and Joe Mauer. Watching Jason Kubel hit home runs is like watching Lumberjack days.

Often these situations are scary but if you don’t make it to the base then it just sucks.
Twins lost which isn’t awesome but I must give props where props is due. Trevor Hoffman made his money when it was on the line. He walked Joe Mauer and made the next batters get their own outs.
