Yesterday was the Twins home opener, and I left the stadium a very happy camper. The Twins had won, Neshek struck out the side during his inning of work, and I had a beer and a dome dog and a malt cup. O yeah, and JoJo's Niños had been adopted.
As I had posted earlier, I was very concerned about the fate of the niños. Well, children, Dennys Reyes has stepped up. That's right, a new banner hangs in center field: Reyes' Niños. Curious, though, was the banner right next to this one: Rincon's Kids. Hmmm. I thought it was weird that Rincon (Venezuelan) had Rincon's Kids. Couldn't they think of anything better? Rincon's Rabids? Rincon's Rioters? Rincon's 'Roid Ragers?
Other new banners included Everett's A-Team (Adam Everett) and Lamb's Flock (Mike Lamb). I tried to convince friends that we should get Mr. T haircuts and sit in the A-Team seats. Everett nearly hit a grand slam at the game, but it was called just foul. Mike Lamb had a decent debut with the Twins, and since he's taking over for Nick Punto, I have dubbed him "Upgrade."
More updates as the season progresses. Twins rule!
