Play Ball!

Hurrah! The days of reports from workouts and clinic sessions are over. The Grapefruit League has opened!

Of course, the Twins lost to the Reds, 6-1. Scott Baker started and did well, Matt Guerrier followed suit, and Glen Perkins dug a big hole with a wind-aided 3-run dinger.

Worst of all, the offense was the same as in 2007: practically nonexistent. The lone run scored was on three--three!--consecutive Reds errors.

I almost don't care, though. Baseball's back, baby!

Formerly chubby, newly BPILF-ilicious Boof Bonser opens things up at Hammond Stadium against Dice-K and the BoSox tonight at 6:05 CST.
