Twins after 2 weeks...

Well, well, well…who could have possibly guessed this start?

If you would have said the Twins would be 1-5 and Johann would be 0-2, I would have said “you’re crazy.”

If you would have said, after that start, that they would sweep the A’s and take the 1st 2 games from my beloved (stop, puke here, I’m kidding) Yankees, I would have said “shut down the meth lab.”

After that atrocious start, which seemingly resembled last year when they had the leagues’ lowest run production, I was just about to lead the rebellion to remove the blockhead (Gardy, actually this year he’s demonstrated a little more self control, which only gains him more respect with umpires, but that’s for another day), and “Mr. Ryan”, who it looked like he saddled us with 2005 all over again.

Well, well, well… all of the sudden we’re back to .500 ball, which is all we ever asked for when we started this brutal stretch of games.

Before the season started, if you asked me who the better pickup was: Rondell White, or Batista; White flags would have been flying, and they would have been flying as a sign of victory.

Ooops! Now, White may come through later this year- when he stops swinging at throat level fastballs like he did Sat. night (unless he buys my video, and learns the tomahawk swing), but for now, it’s been Batista & Luis Castillo who have proven to be of value.

The good news is this team is slowly lurching forward; now if Rondell could get in gear, we’d have full-fledged machine moving forward like we did in ’91.
