Twins Win Thriller

I would like to post a lot on tonight's 9-4 12-inning win, but the TV is talking about some big storms that are coming, so I should probably find something better to do than ignore that.

Three Stars:
Brian Buscher - 3 for 5, 2 R, 3 RBI. He got it done. Offensively and defensively. Buscher far and away deserves the game ball for this one. As a left-handed 3B, he is stuck behind Mike Lamb, which is unfortunate. More games like this and it will be hard to not play him.
Glen Perkins - 6 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 6 K, BB, HR, 93 pitches. Coming into this season, I wasn't a big fan of Perkins. The more I watch him, the more my fan-dom grows. He's never going to dominate, but he will be a solid middle-of-the-rotation type of guy for a long time. He just needs to keep doing what he's doing, even though tonight wasn't great... he did enough to give the Twins a chance to win.
Michael Cuddyer - 1 for 1, 3B, 2 RBI. I'm taking Cuddyer, even though his hit wasn't a game-winner, because after the play, every one was jacked.

Storms here... gotta go.
