It would be really good to win at least one of these games today… I would love it if it was the first one so we don’t have all that pressure on the second one.. *snort*
If you haven’t heard the latest Span news, it appears that Span managed to rearend the car Valencia was in (I think the GF was driving) and yeah… his migraines are back.
Now that Duensing is back to pitch today, let’s hope things go a little better for him this time. I won’t be around to watch either game today (why is it that some weekends just have 14 different family events all on top of each other) but I have full faith that our loyal Knuckleballers can manage to chat without the presence of even a fairly professional babysitter like me. *grin*

I was nowhere near a TV or radio for game 1 of this doubleheader so all I know about the game is what I see in the boxscore. I see three different guys striking out 3 times each and I see Francisco Liriano giving up 5 earned runs after facing 6 batters in 1/3 of an inning. Ouch. – JC
