What a refreshing evening...

I'm doing this in the bottom of the sixth, so I hope that it doesn't blow up in my face. But it's a really good feeling to see someone else's bullpen completely blow up and give the other team a big inning. The Angels went to the 'pen in the 5th and the Twins responded with a 5 run inning. 2 wild pitches and 3 hits brought the runs in. Could have been worse, but the Twins left runners on 2nd and 3rd...they were there with no outs mind you.

I see two bats that the Twins are going to have a tough time keeping out of the line up. One of my preseason favorites, Brendan Harris, and one of my preseason guppies, Jason Kubel. Kubel is on like a 8-9 tear with 6 rbi's and a cycle to boot. Harris is finally bringing some pop to the middle infield, Gardy should put him at short tomorrow. Please.

Two bats that are struggling beyond struggling are those of Cuddyer and Gomez. Gomez was facing a guy who walked two in a row and Gomez was up in the count 2-0. What does go go do?Oh yeah, hack at the next three pitches and pop out. Awesome. Cuddy's only 0-3 and left 5 on base tonight alone. Ya would think that a guy who is told right field is his and that's that would just relax and hit? Nope. Pressing as bad as Derr. Side not, got Curly to say Derrrrrrr today. Awesome.
