G62: Twins 5, Red Sox 2 (12)

Dear Julian Tavarez:

Turn in your uniform, walk out the door, and never come back.

***

As noted in comments: Mike Timlin was activated and Jermaine Van Buren was recalled from Pawtucket. In addition to David Pauley being sent to the PawSox, Keith Foulke was finally put on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow tendinitis. (It really sucked having the pen be an arm short for the first week and a half of June while the team hoped Foulke would rebound.)

Curt Schilling (3.81) / Johan Santana (3.16), 8 PM

In his last two starts -- against Oakland (8-2-1-0-9, 103) and Seattle (5-5-1-1-2, 101) -- Santana allowed a total of two runs.

    I'm said it so many times before: 2004 will add years to my life.

    Without that title, a loss like this would have left me absolutely fuming, unable to fall asleep. ... Now, it sucks, but it was also almost laughable in its predictability.

    Schilling's performance was not as eye-popping as Santana, but he was equally effective -- and threw fewer pitches. Why did he get pulled after 91? Strange.

    Papelbon in the 9th and 10th made sense. He was at 22 pitches. Tie or no tie, I would have brought him out for the 11th.

    Turns out Timlin was fine. 15 pitches. Probablty wise not to have him go a second inning right off the DL.

    So we get Tavarez? I would have picked Delcarmen. And I sure would have had someone up after the HBP in case things got a bit more ugly, which they did.

    Damn, what if that double didn't hop over the fence? Twins tie it, but maybe Tavaraez works out of it with a guy at 2nd and 1 out?

    Bah. So we're tied with the Chokers and the Jays are 2 back. Off to bed.

    And we've got another year and a half of this shit? No. Someone's gonna have to eat a contract.

    I think, bad as he is so far, Taveras is tradeable. There are a lot more desperate bullpens out there.

    Just make sure he doesn't go to the MFY. He'd probably pitch like the second coming of the 2005 Aaron Small.

    Braves would take him, maybe. If we paid 1/2 or 2/3 of his contract to play for them...wait a minute, this sounds familiar.
