Game 4 - Series Split

Today our Twins suffered their first shutout of a long season at the hands of the Seattle Mariners. A first inning run by the Mariners held up for the victory as they added an insurance run in the ninth and handed it over to their hapless closer, Brendan Morrow.
This Morrow kid has got some stuff to work through. After spitting the bit on Tuesday night, walking the bases loaded and blowing his first save opportunity, he got a chance to redeem himself this afternoon. He looked like he was on the same path today, but he pulled himself together and made sure our Twins didn't embarrass him again.

He's a talented guy, got a live arm, but threw nothing but fastballs all inning long. I'd like to think that if the heart of our lineup could've laid off a few they'd put him in a bad spot, but Morrow's got plenty of talent and showed his promising future this afternoon.

On another note, weekday games are still not being televised here (God knows why, probably a money thing), so I got to return to hearing John Gordon and Dan Gladden call the game on the radio for my daily fix. I still have a fond place in my heart for them both, but fortunately the organization is continuing the 'Squeezeplay' condensed games the same evening as untelevised games. It'll air at 7pm CDT on FSNorth and will feature video of all the hits and outs of the game with John and Dan's play-by-play in a 30-minute slot. It's a really great deal and I'd encourage you to watch along with me.

Anyhow, back to working on music, which I'll be doing until around 4am again.
