Pickoff Moves, Prozac Edition
... because I need a nice mood-altering drug right about now...
Anne Ursu, she-devil behind Batgirl, when not wearing a cape and fighting for Truth, Justice, and the Twins in the American League, is also a mild-mannered novelist by day. In all-baseball.com today, she has an elongated dialogue with Alex Belth of Bronx Banter, which is more than I cared to read, but you might want to. Cut to the chase:
A Fraud Upon The Reading Public
Thanks to reader David Worsley who passed along this San Jose Mercury-News bullet-point article that mentions 6-4-2 as a good place to find "obscure but hope-inspiring stats for his local nines, such as the September/October ERAs of the Cardinals' rotation (nobody under 4.29)." If you expected to find hope for either the Dodgers or Angels here, hie thee hence to Dodger Thoughts, Pearly Gates, The Fourth Outfielder, or even -- gulp -- Dodger Blues, the latter incredibly picking the Dodgers to sweep the Cards in three. (Neighbors claim the author was drunk at the time. What do we know?) Despite all that, we thank the Mercury-News for the notice.Twins 2, Yankees 0

Last year, a lot of Twins fans, including yours truly, felt something of a sense of doom as our boys walked into Yankee Stadium. We hadn’t beaten the Yanks since before the Giambi era; we’d barely even shown up to play against them all the 2003 season. So that first game victory was so sweet; it seemed, suddenly that anything was possible. Soon, dogs would be able to perform minor surgeries and humans would be walking on Mars; there’s nothing we can’t do, for great things can happen as long as you believe in yourself and you have Johan Santana pitching for you.So do we all, Batgirl, so do we all. TwinsFanDan dispenses the truth about this series: it's all about Corey Koskie and Brad Radke, simple as that. If they succeed, the Twins advance. If not, the Yankees do.Well, things turned rather south from there, and I still have nightmares featuring Hideki Matsui and his novelty-sized head.
We got our answer on the first game (along with five double plays); let's see how the Twins do tomorrow with Radke on the mound.
Unravelin' Sammy
Sammy Sosa doesn't show up on time for the last game of the season. Sammy didn't show up for the season, not compared to Sammy of seasons past. Newspapers hurl angry invective, wondering, "Did he? Or didn't he?" Dusty wants him to get in "tip-top shape" -- and Sammy takes offense. Good grief, now even the clichés cause the Cubs to lose it.
