I was shocked to see Joe Nathan fold under the pressure of yesterdays Minnesota Twins vs. Tampa Bay Devil Rays game. Do you suppose Mr. Nathan isn’t getting as much rest as he needs on this big home stand? He does have a newborn baby to tend to and perhaps the long sleepless nights finally caught up to our star closer. It was Joe Nathans first loss since September 6th, 2005. The loss allowed Tampa Bay to split the four-game series. I have to say this Minnesota Twins fan was wrong on her prediction that the Twins would only lose one of the games. More upsetting than my prediction being wrong was that Twins third baseman, Nick Punto, sprained his ankle and is out until further notice leaving the Twins without an experienced player at that position.
The Minnesota Twins now begin a six game road trip to play the Seattle Mariners and the Kansas City Royals. Let’s hope our hometown boys can remain healthy and strong and win a few baseball games!
