What a start to the series. The first part of my three part fantasy dream sequence came true last night. Scottie Baker, our 12 year old ace, drank an extra big glass of milk before taking the mound last night. The White Sox had been taking his lunch money for most of the season, and he decided that last night's game was his moment of revenge. He told me that he even saw a couple of whiskers on his chin after the game. You are becoming a man Scottie!
The question was, with Scottie pitching well, would the lineup pull through with some run support? The answer came in the bottom of the second, when an angry grizzly bear approached the plate. Javy Vazquez, the White Sox pitcher, had stolen meals from the grizzly for years. This was his chance to maul him, take a couple of nibbles of his arm, maybe even throw some bear scat on his face. The Ku-bear let out a mighty roar and went deep on Javy, driving in the Canadian and taking a lead that the Twin would not give back for the rest of the game.
Ku-bear was still angry however and decided that the only way to get back at the White Sox would be to go deep again and throw in a triple for good measure. Throw in a couple of other timely hits, a homer by a Young-un, even a squeeze play and a dive into first by the littlest of superheroes, and the Twins come out as winners.
I'm headed to the game tonight, and a little nervous about the matchup between Joe Mauer lookalike Nick Blackburn and the evil lefty Mark Buehrle. I think that it's going to make the win that much more amazing. Don't dissappoint boys.
