BLOG IN YOUR FACE

The Minnesota Twins have won 5 out of their last 7 games and have somehow managed by God’s good grace to get themselves into first place in the American League Central. Granted, they are only up by one game (and it probably won’t last long) but STILL!!! The Minnesota Twins are in FIRST PLACE!! If this can hold up until tomorrow night, I will definitely be drinking and toasting to it.

And, if you haven’t already heard…or maybe you just plain don’t give two Henrys about the Twins…but Carlos Gomez hit for the cycle against the White Sox on Wednesday night. If you aren’t familiar, this is when a player gets every single type of hit in one game. One single, one double, one triple and a home run. Four amazing things about Gomez doing it the other night?

1) He’s a ROOKIE (22 years old)
2) The night before the Twins only have 1 HIT in the entire game..as a TEAM!
3) He hit for the cycle BACKWARDS meaning he hit the homer first, the triple second and so on…
4) The last Twins player to hit for the cycle was none other than Kirby Puckett…good ol’ Kirby may he rest in peace. When did Kirby do it? All the way back in 1986.

I was reading MSN and came across an articleabout the 10 worst franchises in pro sports. The particular article mentioned the Twins as one of them. Evidently this Jack-Ass hasn’t checked the standings lately. What a moron…
