An Open Letter to Nick Blackburn
Dear Nick,
My, that was a lovely start. Seven innings, five hits, one walk, one wild pitch, one run. TBL could hardly believe it was your first major-league start. Unfortunately, when they came to the plate your teammates resembled nothing so much as drugged emus.
Please allow this longtime Twins fan to offer you a piece of advice which, if followed, will help you to remain sane throughout your career as a Twins starter:
Get used to it.
Practically,
TBL

Kubel's upper deck shot last night was the one bright spot (other than Blackburn'd start) in that whole series.
Good advice, too, TBL.
Yup. Welcome to the bigs, kid.
