Kyle Lohse- Twins player of the game
The Twins won a big game in Chicago tonight, pulling them within 2 games of a playoff spot. There were many heroes in this game- Brad Radke gave up only 2 runs in 6 innings; Joe Mauer, Mike Cuddyer, and Justin Morneau all homered; Jason Tyner and Jason Bartlett each had 3 hits. When I looked at Sportsline's wrap-up of the game, however, I was very shocked at the second player of the game:
Here's a closer look:
That's right- Kyle Lohse, who gave up 2 runs in one inning of mop-up relief, was apparently more valuable than Brad Radke! My theory: Terry Ryan badly wants to trade Lohse, but no one will offer anything for him. Ryan knows some people at Sportsline, and passes some cash under the table in exchange for this. Then, when he's got GMs on the phone, he can refer to Kyle as "recent Sportsline player of the game."
