After getting off to a great start sweeping the Baltimore Orioles to open the 2007 Major League Baseball season, the Minnesota Twins did not maintain that pace for long.
"They split a weather shortened series with Chicago, they lost 2 out of 3 to the Yankees at home, but I figured hey, the Devil Rays are coming to town". commented Dave O'Brien. "They can sweep or at least take 3 out of 4 from them".
The Twins split the 4 game series which included Johan Santana's first home loss since June 2005, and reliever Joe Nathan giving up two runs in the 9th to lose game 4.
Centerfielder Torii Hunter was visibly uncomfortable when asked if he heard that Dave was angry. "Oooh...yeah...sorry about that. I mean...we are really going to start to hustle out there Dave and I swear it will not happen again".
Dave, while heartened to hear the teams reaction, still finds the situation "completely unacceptable" and remains pissed.
