Sorry for getting this up so late everyone.
It is strange to feel strange about winning a game. But it is a good feeling. I was disappointed with yesterday's lineup because I badly wanted them to win one in honor of Harmon. They still managed to win the game because they got great pitching. Liriano pitched a great ballgame, and it feels to me like he's turned a corner. I am definitely looking forward to his next start. Perkins has obviously had a robotic arm transplanted onto his left arm, and Capps was the Proven Closer that he is. The offense still feels like it's spinning its wheels, but to hear that Nishioka, Thome, and the sissy catcher Mauer are all down in extended spring training gives me a glimmer of hope.
Still, a win is a win. The offensive futility of both teams seemed fitting yesterday, in retrospect. They both got 3 hits and scored a total of 3 runs.
RIP, Harmon.
Final Score: Minnesota Twins 2, Seattle Mariners 1.
Twins Record: 13-27, 11.0 GB in the AL Central. Worst record in MLB.

Did anyone hear during the game Bert admitting that King Felix deserved the Cy Young while only winning 13 games because getting a win is so difficult these days, and then listed a bunch of other stats Hernandez had last year. Which was refreshing. Then a couple of innings later he said that Felix was even more deserving of the Cy Young in 2009 because he had 19 wins, more than anyone else that year.
