PLAYERS: Joe MauerCarlos Silva

The Twins offense is starting to hit their stride (even with Joe Mauer still out of the lineup for a little while longer), so no complaints there. Likewise, Carlos Silva was very good, so nothing but praise for him on this Memorial Day Weekend.But the best news, long-term, for the Twins was that Ramo...

The Koreans go to the finals, and will either face the Japanese or Americans.You'd like to wax rhapsodic about the scrappy Koreans, but really, Hugo Chavez's team lost this one when Johan...

Sidney Ponson Gets Shelled

Yes, shocking.2/3 of the Trio of Horror pitched well in their debuts (Ramon Ortiz and Carlos Silva), but Sidney Ponson could not do the same, as the Yankees beat the Twins 8-2. Here was Ponson's line:5.2 IP, 10 HR, 8 ER, 3 BB, 2 KYikes. Sadly, even if he had been excellent, it probably wouldn't have ...
