Twins vs. Orioles
Well, not exactly how the Twins wanted to start the season off, but it is what it is. I did see some good things today though, Carroll was really solid at shortstop, he made some great defensive plays. Chris Parmalee looked great at firstbase too, as a long time Twins fan, it is going to take some time getting used to not having Justin Morneau at first, but I think that Parmalee has a great future over at first. Josh Willingham ended his Twins debut with a 2-Run Homerun, which is good to see! I'm looking forward to this season still and I think that the Twins are still going to have success!

Rays vs. Yankees
THIS GAME WAS FUN! I didn't get to watch the game, but it was fabulous to keep track off! Loved how it started early on with them intentionally walking S-Rod to get to Carlos Pena and then he hits a grand slam! WELCOME HOME CARLOS PENA! What a cool moment, I saw a highlight of it and the Trop almost blew up! It went crazy! Yankees scored a couple of runs and the 9th inning magic was back! Desmond singled and then Zobrist tripled him home to tie the game and Mo blew the save. Then they Intentionally walked Longoria and Scott to get to S-Rod, who had a fantastic at-bat but ended up striking out. It was Carlos' turn again.. Could he do it again with the bases loaded? He didn't get a grand slam, but he got a single to win it for the Rays! I'm so glad that Carlos got to have a happy homecoming for the Rays, he is going to have a great season!
