The Curse is known by a single name: Punto


So the shit bag appeared in the Twins' first 27 games, and there were 3 games under .500 and 5 games back in the Central. Insert Brendan Harris, the Twins reel off two in a row and score 20 freakin runs. Harris is more than capable in the field and is the Bizzarro-Punto at the plate. His numbers are almost, shit they are, better than Punto's in 5 less games and 19 less at bats. Still think that with Tolbert at 2nd, Harris at short and "oh my aching hamstring" Crede at 3rd, the Twinks put a solid defensive unit on the field.

Just get that fuck out of the line up, Gardy. Stop being stubborn and honoring the old guard, get that shit out the game. While you're at it, make a goddamn decision in the outfield. Either play Gomez and take your lumps or ship his ass to Rochester to grow up and get some experience. I get it, he has the tools and athleticism to be in the bigs, but he has got to bet more consistant everywhere. In the seat next to him, throw Mijares--he'd better pack a big lunch, he'll be there for a while. 3 times he's been put in and failed to get the lefties out. And I still am dumbfounded the Dickey is still with the team. Who has a fuckin knuckleballer as a relief pitcher? Note to Bill Smith; Send back Duensing and Humber please and soon.
