... since Puckett on Aug. 1, 1986... 8 months after GoGo was born in the Dominican Republic. Livan Hernandez took a shutout into the ninth, allowing nine hits, striking out three and walking one in his first complete game since last May to give the Sox their seventh loss in eight games. Nick Punto drove in five to send Minnesota on its merry way to a series win and its sixth victory in seven games for a 1.5-game lead in the AL Central.

... How's that trade working out? Don't worry, I'm not about to compare Carlos Gomez to Johan Santana ... yet, but the Twins rookie centerfielder acquired in that trade has been money. Last night, Gomez hit for the cycle, the first Twinkie-cycle in 22 years. I'd say the Twins got an appropriate young talent back in exchange for Johan and I'm sure the Mets fans are taking this well. ...

Carlos Gomez Steals Again and Again

Carlos Gomez leads the American League in stolen bases, but he still has a little trouble at the plate so I don’t think he will be breaking the 1982 season American League Rickey Henderson 130 bases record. You gotta get on base in order to steal one. He won't be breaking it this year any way, but maybe some day? I don’t know that is a tough record and Gomez has the tendancy to strike out, ...
