Johann

We wrap up what's quickly becoming a nightmare of a series against the Twins today with another interesting pitching matchup, Johann Santana and Oliver Perez. Unlike the first two matchups of this series, which were interesting for what might be down the road, this one is curious for what it might've been. As in, what might've been if Oliver Perez didn't fall off the face of the planet the last two years. Santana is still almost certainly the best lefty on the planet, despite lacking the record to back it up. Considering how flat the Bucs have looked since we've started this homestand, how hot the Twins are (6 in a row), and that Santana guy, things aren't looking so hot for the Buccos today.
