Before I start I have to clear something up. Contrary to common belief I was not kidnapped because of the value of my kidneys on the black market, but rather, because of my derogatory comments about Venezuelan phenom Carlos Silva. I wish to offer a public apology to Carlos and his family. That being said, lets blog.
First of all I'd like to thank fellow bloggers Tyler and Dave for holding down the fort while I was otherwise engaged. And no, I'm not upset about your attempt to replace me with an "intern".
My Venezuelan captors Enrique and Luis have been surprisingly kind and even though I was forced to marry their youngest daughter (it was a beautiful wedding), I've actually been enjoying myself down here. My farmer's tan is in full effect and I've had more than my fill of undercooked goat and wild rice. Needless to say, a return to the states is not expected any time soon and now that I've gained access to the town computer I will be blogging regularly from my new home. Oh yeah, the people here seem to think Johan Santana is pretty good. They love their baseball, and believe it or not, most are big Twins fans. I watch all the games at a local Fuddruckers with Enrique and I have to say that I'm a little disappointed in the bats lately.
Going into the season I was skeptical of a lineup that has done nothing to prove me wrong. Of course our big guns are producing: The Big Baby Jesus, Joe Mauer, continues to hit and Cuddy continues to "smell em", while Morneau and Hunter are where they need to be, but at this point I'd like to trade in a couple of our Little Piranhas for one big damn Killer Whale. Nick Punto and Jason Bartlett have yet to show the talent that won them starting jobs last year while a platoon system at DH of Jason Kubel, Jason Tyner, and Mike Redmond, somwhow, does not seem to intimidate opposing pitchers. The offense has been affetive at times but it now seems that the pitching staff everyone was questioning going into the season might be just fine whereas our fun little lineup might be just that. Little fun to watch.
Prove me wrong fellas. Prove me wrong.
