On the Way to 161-1

Well, crap. The Twins drop the season opener. What can you do?

We all know that it takes a little while for Johann's Invincibility Machine to heat up after he turns it on, so the fact that he hung a couple of pitches up in an April game should surprise nobody--nor should it worry any of us in Twins Territory. And the offense wasn't completely anemic, which was nice (though not as nice as a win).

But you know what was nice, better than nice, what was frickin' awesome? That baseball season is BACK; that thousands of us out there were grilling hotdogs and drinking beers and sitting on couches while we screamed at the TV and at each other as we talked all things baseball. In the face of this, last night's loss hurts about as much as a flu shot.

It's baseball season! Woo hoo! Woo hooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
