First things first the Sports Shot crew needs to give some serious props to Carlos Gomez. The first Twins cycle since Puck did it back in 1986. Not sure if that means we'll be winning a World Series next year but nevertheless it was sweet to watch. We also need to give old number 61 some love. Taking a game into the ninth just doesn't happen anymore. Screw Dye and his ridiculous dinger. The only issue I had with the game was Punto legging out the triple in the top of the ninth. The Twins were already up by the score of 13-0. Why did he have to dig in for third? Maybe he's got some clause in his contract where if he hits X amount of triples he gets a bonus but I just don't think he needed to do that when he did. It wouldn't surprise me if the Chi-Sox tatoo him in the ribs tomorrow night! This game was delayed due to rain. Had a slow deliberate feel and its proposed 7:11pm start was still going well after 11:11pm. Livan got the complete game, didn't get the shut-out thanks to freaking Dye's home-run. Just as a side note Livan was still bringing his 86 mph heat in the ninth inning, this guy has real street-cred style stamina. I was loving it. The 58 mph curve ball he threw in the ninth was a thing of beauty. Great game on the mound for the Twins. Gomez really was/is the story of the night. Starts the game off with a home-run, gets his triple his next at-bat, follows that with a double that he reached third on due to an error and finished the game off by beating out an infield single. I'm not going to lie I wasn't watching the game live and I didn't get to see Gomez sprint around the bases when he hit that homer. I went back to the good old DVR and watched it, totally worth it. I wasn't able to find a link on YouTube yet but I'm sure it'll be up there by tomorrow. I'm not a Nick Punto fan. I'll give him some due credit for tonights game. That double was huge, huge, huge. Too bad its probably the last one we'll see this month. Like I said above I wasn't too keen on seeing him leg out that triple. One night after almost getting no-hit the Twins come up with what sixteen tonight. Let's hope we didn't use up all our good ones and that we'll have a few left for tomorrow. We did rest Mauer tonight so he'll bring at least one slap single to the plate tomorrow. Good game and lets start another winning streak up tomorrow.
