Tonight was the night of amazingness and to celebrate the amazingness I think a list needs to be created...
- Justin finally decided to hit the ball into a gap for a RBI double.
- Gomez with yet another amazing game. Fastest man in baseball without a doubt. 2 hits and 2 stolen bases and a run scored!
- Everett dropped the suicide squeeze play to score the go ahead run! He's not nicknamed Killer for nothing. It was amazing and I think we need to do them more often just for the coolness. And as L pointed out while watching the game, they're "sexy".
- Scotty had an amazing comeback after a rough start. Leading me to believe that maybe he does know... And how bad ass is it that he totally dominates the Royals, 4-0 record now and we can forget about that almost perfect game last season!
- Nathan got his second save this season! And, of course, in in typical Joe Nathan fashion made it suspenseful.
- Nicky Punto came in during the 8th inning and of course schooled everyone and their mother on how to play third!
- Lammers hit a double right down the 1st baseline!
- Mauer went 2 for 4 with an RBI and a run scored. Hot.
- Tolbert is a mini Justin. Too bad he's not from Canada too, but you can't win them all.
- Although technically this wasn't the same game, Liriano struck out 8 in his first minor league start and throw 82 pitches... bad ass. I'll be back up here in no time.
On a sad note... Cuddy is heading for the DL... frick!
"Twins right fielder Michael Cuddyer left Friday night's game in the third inning with a dislocated right index finger. He was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center for X-rays. The injury occurred when Cuddyer slid headfirst into third base after hustling from first to third on a Justin Morneau RBI single. Cuddyer dove for the bag and appeared to run his hand into Royals third baseman Alex Gordon, who was guarding the bag."
Cuddy, did you not learn your lesson from last year???? I guess not. Get better soon because right field isn't the same without you.
