Some sad news in the baseball world this afternoon as word came out that Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn has passed away. Gwynn was as pure a hitter of baseballs as you’re likely to ever see. During his career, I always felt he was under-appreciated. Maybe because he played for a lot of bad teams in San Diego and maybe because he wasn’t a noted power hitter. RIP Tony.
Kevin Correia is on the mound for the Twins in Boston tonight.

Kevin Correia had another pretty decent start. That’s the good news.
The Twins got a total of 3 lousy hits. That’s the bad news.
Bad news prevails today.
