....that's a 68yr record broken by a team that is two seasons removed from the World freaking Championship....

 

During the game, my Mom, who is a casual fan, turned and asked me "They just won it all two years ago. How did they get so bad?" I just had to shake my head and laugh. I've been doing that a lot this season.

here's a peachy stat:

 

It was the most runs scored by one team in a doubleheader since the Boston Red Sox totaled 35 in a sweep of the Philadelphia Athletics on July 4, 1939, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

First off, 32 < 35

Second of all, with the way it is worded it would've been the Twins who broke that record, not the Sox.

I said it before: the IL sucks, Gavin Floyd's been through AAA too many times to give it much credence, the Major Leagues are his next test.

 

I'm not saying he's a bust because of yesterday. I've always thought he was a bust. I'm just saying, he had to go out and prove something, and he didn't. Like in the spring when he allowed Danks to win a job Floyd had been handed on a silver platter to take.

 

I hope Floyd gets a few more shots. I want him to pitch at least five more games. Just to see. But his "live arm" isn't what's advertised (no, like I said -- he is not in the mid-90s "consistently") and his control's not better and his presence is terrible. I just don't see how the Gavin Floyd era will end well.
