So, JJ Hardy was put on the DL last night after the game and Trevor Plouffe has come up again. And of course, more DL means more lineup juggling. Anyone miss the days when we had a great lineup of starters and knew who was going to be where most games????
And do NOT get me started on Kubel and Thome being in the lineup with Delmon sitting.
Just to make myself feel better, here’s a link to that incredible Mauer catch from last night.
| Atlanta | @ | Minnesota |

| McCann, DH | Cuddyer, RF | |
| Escobar, Y, SS | Thome, DH | |

| Cabrera, Me, CF | Punto, 2B | |
| Hudson, T, P | Liriano, P |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E | |
| Atlanta | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 5 | 0 |

So it only took the Twins 2 hours and 6 minutes to beat the Braves because Franky was FANTASTIC! wow… 7 k’s in a row to tie a club record at one point. He was simply on fire to celebrate the birth of his second son, Francis Javier, who arrived earlier today. For outstanding awesomeness, Franky gets the BOD and our heartiest congratulations on his growing family! Kudos to the rest of the team for stepping up!
