well it’s a heck of a lot nicer out there today than it was yesterday.. not a WHOLE lot warmer but the combo of 10 degrees and some actual sunshine sure does seem to be a monumental change.
Let’s see if Correia can’t go a little deeper into the game tonight and let the bullpen have a break. I wouldn’t mind if he figured out how to keep Ortiz off the bases too. Yeah, I’d like that.

Apparently David Ortiz likes hitting at Target Field. Or maybe he likes hitting against Twins pitching. Either way, I’ll be glad to see him leave. – JC
