So, like, what's up with Rondell (the Other) White (Meat)? I mean, yeah, he got a hit tonight but no designated hitter, no major-league batter for that matter, is supposed to have 0 as the first number in his batting average.

And this thing? Gardy got a good inning out of him Friday night with a 4-run lead and then he goes with him in a clutch situation tonight. Then -- Wham! Bam! Slam! -- a 4-2 lead becomes a 5-4 deficit and Posse Latino needed to take over the mound to keep things from getting any worse. Gardy calling on Crain in that situation, alas, was like saying "I Love You" to a phone-sex operator. He wasn't gonna get anything of substance in return.

And this Santana guy? What's up with El Presidente? That's three straight struggling starts and ... (Therapist's Note: RD isn't really considering Johan's situation a problem.)

DAMN, AIN'T IT GREAT NOT TO HAVE TO DWELL ON ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE A PROBLEM TONIGHT!? PROBLEMS ARE FOR YANKEE FANS, JOE TORRE AND MARIANO RIVERA TO PONDER WHILE THEY UNWRAP THEIR BUTTERFINGER BUNNIES TOMORROW MORNING.

JUST WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE RIVERA WAS GOING TO PUT ASUNDER WHAT THE TWINS HAD CREATED IN THE NINTH INNING -- LUIS CASTILLO'S FOURTH HIT AND JOE MAUER'S FULL-COUNT, CASTILLO-RUNNING SLAP TO LEFT FIELD -- UP STEPPED JUSTINCREDIBLE.

White had swung at strike three and S. Cheeks Hunter had taken a called third. Confidence had been replaced by uncertainty in a two-batter span.

And then, like the Easter Bunnies that will make their chocolatey hops through many of our houses early tomorrow morning, Morneau slapped a grounder. Hop, it went. Hop, hop, hop. Between the second baseman Cano and the first baseman Cairo. Into right field.

Castillo, whose speed made it all possible, scored the tying run. And Mauer, whose bat made possible whatever Castillo couldn't do on his own, came across home plate. Twins 6, Yankees 5.

JustIncredible circled back toward the dugout, where giddy teammates came to meet him, taking running leaps and slapping him on the helmet. Lewwwwwwwwww Ford got in an especially good hit and L-Rod almost got credit for a takedown. All those blows to the helmet could be why, during his post-game interview on FSN, JustIncredible said "you know" 10 times in about 100 seconds. (Remembering back to some of last year's interviews, RD was ready to count 'em, all fingers and toes at the ready.)

Uhhhhhh, you know, if, like, JustIncredible keeps, you know, getting key hits like, uhhhhh, that one, you know, he can, like, talk any friggin' way he wants, you know.

Sweep tomorrow, eh! It'll be the first one for the Twins over the Yankees since 1991, which is remembered as a very good year.
