Poll stuff

Nick Blackburn is 7-3, 3.81
at Target Field, 3-7, 6.99
in road games.

Still a bit depleted from the flu, but I'll get the poll stuff updated.

Two questions last week, both concerning the playoff rotation, and the results indicate general agreement with Ron Gardenhire's plans.

Question One: Who do you prefer as the Twins Game One starter?

We had 64 votes, of which 33 (51 percent) went for Francisco Liriano, 25 (39 percent) for Carl Pavano, and six (9 percent) for Brian Duensing. Liriano is lined up for the playoff opener.

Question Two:  Who should be the Twins' fourth starter in the playoffs?

This one drew 49 votes, a dropoff of 15. Nick Blackburn was the overwhelming favorite with 32 votes (65 percent), while Kevin Slowey had 10 votes (20 percent) and Scott Baker seven (14 percent).

New poll question up.
