Twins 08 - Page 2

Difference is that Hernandez has a history of being successful in the league. He just doesn't have eye-popping numbers. But he wins games and eats innings. Always has and he just looks like the type of guy that can throw 200+ innnings when he's 40.

Ponson was a bad pitcher. Very bad pitcher. I don't understand why teams were even giving him a look during spring training. Don't they learn? Surely they could get the same performance out of that journey man AAA pitcher that makes the minimum.

Congrats to Carlos Gomez tonight.

First Twins cycle since childhood hero Kirby Puckett did it in August of 86...

No way...first since 86? That's like 22 years.

That makes me feel old.
