Twins Win Opener!

The nasty weather outside kept me from attending the game tonight. But it didn't keep me from enjoying the first win of the year. I'm going to try to start a tradition of picking three "stars" from each game and post their stats.

Carlos "Go-Go" Gomez: 2 for 3, walk, 2 SB, 2B, BB, 2 R, SO; Go-Go set the tone early and couldn't have asked for a better debut in a Twin's jersey. Are you ready to say, "Torii who?" yet?

Livan Hernandez: 7 IP, W, SO, 7 H, 2 R; This is exactly why the Twins paid him $5 million. The bullpen should be fresh for the rest of the series.

Joe Nathan: 1 IP, SV, H, SO; Maybe other players are more deserving, but after signing the big contract, it was a big step in the right direction getting in and getting it done. Plus, he got a huge strikeout against Hunter.

That's all for tonight. Enjoy the snow.

I came up with "Go Go Gadget Gomez" while watching the game.

Go-Go Gadget bunt.
Go-GO Gadget steal.
Go-Go Gadget double.
