The Dragon hath been slayeth

Troy F***ing Percival is officially in the twilight of his career.
After all, the Twins pounded him for a ninth inning win, one inning after Ugie Urbina put on an exhibition in blowing. In case you missed it, Percival had thrown 40 innings against the Twins w/o allowing an earned run before last night. Punto had a terrific at bat to get a walk, pushing Ford to second, then Stewie came up with the big hit.
The other big news of the day, I suppose, is Joe Mays' return to the rotation.
I wasn't impressed, as Joe walked too many guys to get away with, but considering what a head case he ususally is, I guess the fact that he made it through the game without his head imploding is a good thing.
Also JC Romero had a damn nasty slider, and looked real good. Rincon was also filthy. The Twins bullpen, in case you're retarted, is really, really, really good.
Cuddy hit a long homer, Bartlett homered, (though he looked like a girl on that rather embarrassing error), and the Twins are now 4-3 with four come from behind wins.
To be 4-3 without having really played very well, is, I think, something to be encouraged by.
It'd be nice to see a good outing from Kyle Lohse tonight.
