Small Market Defined

I am going to do a full blown predictions post sometime this week and then I am going to get away from baseball blogging for a little while. I just wanted to make a few comments about last nights 3-2 opening night win.

Ok, great. Go-Go Gomez is exciting. Livan got the job done. Morneau looked terrible. We still have the best closer in baseball until we trade him this year and I like the fact that the Twins are 1-0 as opposed to 0-1.

But what I really wanted to make note of was this bit of information that was passed along in Reusse's column regarding Twins set-up man Pat Neshek.



As we blogged about yesterday, we got snow and we got plenty of it. Pat Neshek is a local kid (who is also featured in a pretty funny Twins commercial I will post later) and had a pretty good year last year.

Well, apparently Neshek drives some old Ford with rear wheel drive. He was concerned about the snow so yesterday so he had his mom drive him to the game, because she apparently has a Jeep Liberty.

Good lord. One wonders if Mrs. Neshek didn't coordinate with some of the other mothers and they can get a car pool going, with a stop at Dairy Queen on the way home if they win.

Johan who? Welcome the Livan Era. Nathan will not be traded this year, if the twins did that after signing him no agent would deal with the Twins unless forced.

I had a friend in the minors that said if he ever got to play in Texas he was going to have his mom drop him off for the games. When he was with the Indians, he made this happen.

Neshek does not have some "old Ford". He has a SPORTS CAR and a 2009 SUV which he hadn't picked up yet since that was the first game of the season.
