I know. Carlos Gomez shouldn't have taken such an overzealous turn at second. Jason Kubel should not have turned into Delmong Young (1-for-10, 6 K's). Delmon Young should not have been Delmon Young (0-for-8, 4 K's). Joe Nathan should not have thrown a 3-0 hanging fastball down the heart of the plate to A-Rod (Nick Blackburn owes Nathan a good solid ****-punch for spoiling that outing). But dammit all, it feels good to blame outside forces, don't it?

It looked like they might get away with it when they entered the ninth inning with a two-run lead and brought on Joe Nathan to nail down the win, but they hadn't paid the gift tax yet. Nathan, who came into the game with 47 saves and a...

Phil Cuzzi Blew It

Via Nationals Enquirer  |  October 10, 2009
  (Photo by Reuters Pictures. Makes you wonder what Phil Cuzzi was looking at. Joe Mauer's no-doubt ground rule double in the 11th was ruled a foul ball by umpire Phil Cuzzi, despite the fact that the ball landed at least a foot fair before bouncing into the stands. Ignore the fact that Mauer eventually singled and the Twins loaded the bases with no outs, but failed...
