Morneau, Pitching Come Through, Twins Sweep A's

OAKLAND-Justin Morneau hit a high shot down the left field foul line that just went fair for a two run home run in the sixth inning to break a 1-1 tie. That was all the Twins needed as Scott Blackburn pitched 7 strong innings and the 1-2 punch of Pat Neshek and Joe Nathan earned their day's pay as the Twins won, 3-1.

Stat update please, I'm sure all of us would love to see how our players are performing!

Yeah, you should do stat updates every in game month or so.

I'm going to play one more game against the Rangers a little later today, and then I'll give you a stat update. I promise it will be worth the wait.

Bonser Loses Rotation Spot

MINNESOTA-The Twins have announced that Boof Bonser has lost his spot in the starting rotation. He will be replaced by Hideo Nomo.

Both players are incredibly happy with their stats and the team situation.

Morneau is incredibly happy with his stats but wonders why Mauer is batting 2nd. He also approves of Doumit as a back up.

Nomo is EXTREMELY happy about his promotion and was wondering when Bonser would get the axe to the bullpen.

I'm glad Morneau and Nomo are satisfied. Mauer bats second because I need the high-power Morneau and Cuddyer to drive in runs in the 3 and 4 holes.

Brendan Harris wishes to hit higher in the lineup.
