This Drew Boatman guy might be on to something

This is getting comical. At least you know what is going to happen. You can't get too mad . . . because you know it is coming. You just expect it. Funny, no? This was a tough FUBB to hand out all things considered (Mijares and his miracle against Matsui). FUBB is at 9.

Let's do some analysis

Avid readers of this site have seen a theme of late. Let us analyze this theme. I did a quick look at all the Twins losses so far. I started from the 7th inning on to see just how many times our beloved bullpen have watched it run down their leg. I only did losses and not wins where they were bailed out (like the last two games). There might have been an error or two that I missed, but whatever. Let's take a look:

Legend: FUBB = Fuck up by bullpen.

Opener: Solid loss
4/9: Couldn't score
4/11: Score more
4/12: Solid loss
4/13: FUBB
4/15: Solid loss
4/16: FUBB
4/22: Solid loss
4/23: Starter's fault
4/26: Starter's fault
4/27: solid loss
5/2: FUBB
5/3: FUBB/Baker
5/5: Score more
5/6: Rain
5/7: FUBB
5/10: FUBB

That's about 6 losses due to the pen. Now, we all can't be perfect, 4 less FUBBs would put the Twins at 22-13 right now and one of the best records in the majors. Instead, just 18-17 and a half game out of 1st. That's a testament to the AL Central. Yeah, that's what we will call it, a testament. Let's see how this plays out during the year.
