OUR ONLY HOPE AT AN UNDEFEATED SEASON COMES DOWN TO TONIGHT

When I was younger, my goal in life was to run a marathon and right before the gun was about to go off, sneak to the front and sprint as long as I possibly could just so I could say I led the race before tiring out and probably grabbing a smoke and a pancake. This is what the Twins need to do tonight. If the game gets into the 8th and we're tied, I want Liriano trotting out there. If someone turns an ankle and it won't turn into a nagging injury if we just sit them for the night, I'm not having it, take a salt tablet and get out there, Nancy. This is a sprint, not a marathon.

On the hill tonight will be Livan Hernandez. I looked him up and did you know that this guy is only 32 years old?
I think he came up through the Chicago Orphans farm system back in nineteen diggity two. Seriously, how is he only 32? I think there might be some funny El Duque bull crap going on down here.

Chucky 4000 will be starting tonight after he pulled his hamstring or whatever in the second to last pre-season game, which bodes well for the defensive prowess of the outfield. Watched highlights of Cuddyer gunning 'mos from the outfield and toweled up the results for the next hour and a half (gross).

Had a dream the other night where Mike Lamb suffered a season ending injury thus putting Punto in for him full time. Needless to say I woke up with that thing where you jolt up and start screaming like in the movies.

Two hours 'til post time. I'm really excited for the White Sox this year, Jim Thome is on pace to hit 324 home runs and have 648 RBIs. I'm really hoping he continues his assault!
