Honestly, I didn't think I'd be able to say that much this year. I realize I still probably won't, but it was a great to see a great effort from Ortiz in his first game for the Twins. If he can give the Twins 7 IP and 2 ER on any type of consistent basis, well, Terry Ryan is even more of a genius than I thought. Hitting wise, it was a good team effort. Everyone got on base at least once, and multiple players had 2 RBI. After a 2/4 game, Mauer is hitting .455 (which means nothing at this point, but still fun to point out).
What a great series for the Twins to start the year. On the broadcast they said that the first time the Twins were 3 games over .500 last year was when they were 38-35. That's crazy.
On a final note, I wasn't able to mention The Sabean Special last occurred last night. Boof wasn't able to get the win, but he started the game, and Joe Nathan finished it with the save. Always good to get one of those early on!
The Sabean Special Count: 1

Sabean Special, yaaaaaay!
Also, it must be pretty sucky to be Brian Sabean these days. That whole bet-the-farm-on-Zito thing is looking rather bleak. (Maybe he added another unauthorized change in his delivery.) But it's still early, I guess.
Ha, yeah Zito was way overpaid... I don't think Sabean is an awful GM, but he has made some head-scratchers.
