All by myself, in the Twin Cities! Took the Light Rail from the Mall of America, got down there as the gates opened, found a nice general admission seat about as far away from the action as you can get, out in centerfield. Tonite I didn’t wear my glasses, I’d rather not see a win, than see the losses I saw the last two nights. I’m not superstitious, but I know what works. Whatever it takes!
It was time for Livan Hernandez, 8-1 at home this year, but it was the White Sox turn. Carlos Quentin hit a solo shot just over the leftfield wall, then ripped a bases clearing, two out double, it was 5-0 Good Guys. The Twinks scored, but then Alexei Ramirez put the game on ice with a three run jack. Gavin Floyd held the Twins hitters at bay. BIG BAD Bobby Jenks was brought on in the 9th to get some work in, Minnesota scored a couple of meaningless runs, despite Nick Swisher hitting the wall to grab an out in right, final score 8-3. Now I’ve got a winning streak to keep going.
One more game tomorrow night, after the game I hop the Big Grey Dog back to the Windy City.
