Perennial Young Man from Spiro, Oklahoma, pitches well

Franklin in KC,

looks like he did a magnificent job.
I thought all he needed was some run support.

But he did much more than just throwing 8 + scoreless innings on 80 or so pitches
according to the articles I read.

He induced a lot of groundball outs and that's a positive news.
If he can keep it up, I think he deserves to remain in rotation,
with Madritsch's shoulder requiring some time to heal,
and Meche having some elbow problem.

Joel at least looks like he's ready.
I wonder who the starters will be in a few weeks.

Too bad about Justine Morneau placed on DL.
The Pride of New Westminster, BC., hit in the head by Villone.

I'm not sure if M's relief pitching can be improved in any ways.
They lost a couple of close games.
So far the defence hasn't lived up to the expectation, either.
Mr. Boone, that's the second time since last September that the ball went right through his wickets.
