Two days. That’s what it took to chase the opening day optimism from my grumpy heart. [sigh]

I don't think Bert was ever happy with the part-time job he's had recently.

Sigh.

Believing is what makes it worthwhile, even though you know it'll (most likely) break your heart at some point.

Am enjoying LaTroy's commentary the last few days - what do others think? Is this just an extended experiment, or is he going to be a continuing thing?

Brito was a masher here in Salt Lake for those Buzz teams of the mid-90s. My favorite Bernardo Brito moment was when he was called out on a grand-slam HR for passing a teammate on the basepath.

Who are you - and what have you done with Matt Capps?

Hitting isn't this team's biggest problem.

I'm turning it off now. I've wasted too much time on watching this team right now. Someone call me when we get some pitching.

C'mon - major league ballplayer. Doesn't have to be a GOOD bunt - just a decent bunt. I hate bunting, I think its ALMOST always the wrong call - but I think I would've there.

I know it's giving up an out (which we did anyway with the strikeout) - but I think I woulda bunted Valencia to third there after the leadoff double in the 8th... Sigh.

How long before Willingham claims the cleanup spot?

Carroll's had a couple of gems so far. Nice to see solid defense at the SS.

Meet the new Twins, same as the old Twins!

Rocket bats! Looks like Baker's in mid-season form already.
