Innocence Gone Awry

I saw a score which had the Twins winning over the Toronto Blue Jays. I politely asked Drew later if they won. I received a large laugh in return and then was reminded of said bullpen. All I know of this bullpen is from this here blog, which has been swift and prompt in the reviews. It's also been correct.

I'm no stranger to bullpen fuck-ups...does anyone remember the LaTroy Hawkins Blown-Save Meter? But after looking at the stats of last night's game (The BJs have defeated the Twins 10 games in a row?!) I saw a lone comment on Sportsline:

"Putting Ayala into the game is the equivalent of putting drugs in front of an addict. BAD things are bound to happen when either of the two previous scenarios unfold."

Hmmm, who is this Ayala guy anyway? Let's look him up.
Ok, 5.71 ERA last season. So far this season he didn't look too good against Seattle. Well, maybe he's a...wow, ok the team ERA is over 5. More runs have been given up in the first five innings than the last four, though.

This is starting to get depressing. And Mark Fidrych going to the nest for the final time yesterday. We've got to turn things around here. Hey - Orlando Hudson hit for the cycle for the Dodgers! It's their first player to hit for the cycle in nearly 40 years and...what, that's not sunshine?

Sorry, this will lift your spirits.
