One interesting note: Thrylos of Tenth Inning Stretch tweets that the Angels lineup tonight has a collective .376/.413/.471 line against Nick Blackburn. However, given that it is in 90 plate appearances, that news is about as relevant as the women’s national championship game tonight. As in, not at all.
Go Twins.
