If you're not familiar with "The Sabean Special," you can click on this link. Basically, anytime Francisco Liriano or Boof Bonser started a game and got the win, combined with Joe Nathan recording the last outs of a game... that was a Sabean Special (created in the spirit of this blog). Anyway, here's the final tally and games where it occurred:
Francisco Liriano:
April 25 - Twins beat Royals 2-1
May 19 - Twins beat Brewers 7-1
May 26 - Twins beat Mariners 3-1
May 31 - Twins beat Angels 7-1
June 11 - Twins beat Orioles 4-0
June 16 - Twins beat Pirates 4-2
June 22 - Twins beat Astros 4-2
July 23 - Twins beat Indians 3-1
Liriano Count: 8
Boof Bonser:
June 24 - Twins beat Cuubs 4-0
September 4 - Twins beat Devil Rays 4-0
September 9 - Twins beat Tigers 2-1
September 25 - Twins beat Royals 8-1
Bonser Count: 4
Total "Sabean Special" Count: 12
And hopefully there will be many more to count next season and beyond!

Thanks for keeping up the blog, I enjoyed reading it last season.
Unfortunately, with Liriano probably out there won't be as many Sabean specials. Maybe the Boof can pick up the slack.
Thanks for reading... school takes up a lot of time I would normally have for keeping this blog (especially since I've got another one), so the offseason could be slow, but I'll definitely be back.
And yeah, at this point I'm not counting on anything from Liriano in 2007... if he is able to pitch, that'll just be gravy.
