I wonder if we’d still be in this pitching/hitting funk if Mauer had been healthy.

In the meantime, the bullpen is simply atrocious. In order to win a game, we either need to be winning by 10 in the 6th when the starter comes out, or come back multiple runs in the bottom of the 9th. That's just unacceptable.</p> Not August, but I’m sure they’re planning to follow their typical modus operandi and wait until June before attempting to make any changes.

I get enough heat for "hating" the twins when I don't blindly support Punto and Cuddyer or just as blindly throw delmon under the bus.</p> I was going to bring that up too, but thought I’d save that for someone else.
