MERCURY MORRIS LOOK OUT

Mercury Morris, the Twins are in your living room and eating your potato chips. Hell, we get a win tomorrow, we're upstairs housing your wife. Yes, the Twins took the first step to perfection this evening with a workmanlike 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in Southern California in North Amer.... you get the bit. And he shall be a Livan Hernandez was prime out there going 7 strong before handing the ball over to Patty Knee Shack and Twitch. Side note, does anyone else feel bad for Joe Nathan? I mean, I don't feel bad for the man in the sense that he makes a King's ransom to work a total of fifteen minutesa night, but ever since signing that contract, if homeboy comes out and lets up as much as a hit, I know John Q. Twins Fan immediately starts thinking, "Hey, Joe, what the hell?"

However, my MVP of tonight's match was definitely Chucky 4000. He went two for three while putting Joe "Stiff Ground Ball" Mauer's ability to good use. Twice tonight the Twins used Mauer to move Chucky over to third with a ground ball to Kendrick, which is a much more welcome result than the usual "4-6-3 rally ending double play but let's hop on his nuts cause he had two two out nobody on singles". Man, where did that come from?

A high five also goes out to Delmon Young , who in his first night as a Twin has one more hit ball than hit ump, which is always a welcome addition. Two calls I will make after one night:

1. Craig Monroe will not be in the starting line up on June 10.
2. Adam Everett will leave thrice as many dudes on base (6 tonight) than he will have RBIs this season.

In summation, we are 1-0 and 161 more consecutive wins away from sending Mercury Morris to the street. Go Twins Go!
