The New Randy Johnson
Michael Pineda is the new Randy Johnson. I know he has had only 8 starts, but the feelings I get when he takes the mound are the same feelings I used to feel when the Big Unit would take the mound. The anticipation of Pineda's start yesterday was killing me. I just knew that playing a terrible Twins team that this was going to be the moment when he would get his first of at least 10 career no hitters. This is how I always felt when Randy would go up against an inferior opponent. As it was he only gave up 3 hits and no runs in 7 innings and struck out 7 (4 out of the first 6 were strikeout victims). I can't wait for his next start already which should be this Saturday against the terrible hitting San Diego Padres. I'm already licking my lips in anticipation.
