Written by Yes, the Twins are off to a great start. But let’s face it, MLB history is littered with teams that got off to great starts and couldn’t seal the deal. And it’s not like our guys have been doing EVERYTHING right, right? I mean… is there any group of fans less excited than Twins fans when their team loads the bases against an opposing pitcher, at this point? And yeah, people pick on Little Nicky Punto and Brendan Harris has his fans, but are you really ready to turn 3B over to Harry long term, if Punto’s groin is going to be a long term issue? And how about this “stiff back” of Morneau’s? See… there are all sorts of things for Twins fans to worry about!
So let’s find out what everyone is MOST worried about (cuz you know we ALL worry about SOMETHING… it’s in our heritage as Twins fans!).
I’m mostly worried about Scott Baker, because I’m crazy like that.
There hasn’t been a “Nutty” sighting (http://www.bat-girl.com/archives/001459.php) yet so I’m not too worried about Baker… yet.
I’m surprised anyone’s voting for the bullpen as a top concern, since the Twins aren’t cursed with a Rincon/Bass/Keppel innings-eater. The only thing that concerns me less is the idea that the Tigers and White Sox could be too good. I flatly refuse to acknowledge that possibility.
After the game Wednesday night, I’m wondering if Erica still feels the same way about that bullpen! I know I’m rethinking my lack of concern about Baker!
