What to watch: Francisco Liriano vs. Roger Clemens

Now, I'm not going to presume that I have any influence in what you watch... but if I do, take my recommendation and watch the Twins vs. the Astros. Why? Well, you should always watch the Twins. But more importantly, Twins phenom Franisco Liriano takes on Roger Clemens in his season-debut.

If you didn't know (or if you haven't been reading this blog!), Liriano is close to being my hero already, as well, as being a legitimate Rookie of the Year Contender (and possible All-Star), despite not even starting all year. The numbers are very impressive: 6-1, 2.16 ERA, more than 10 K/9 innings. Let me put it this way, if Liriano had enough innings to qualify, he'd be leading the Majors in ERA.

On the other hand, you have 5 fingers. But even deeper than that, "The Rocket" will of course make his 2006 Major League debut. He wasn't overly impressive in his 3 minor league starts, but you might remember him well for his 7 Cy Young Awards (oh yeah, and he was robbed last year).

In other words, just watch the game if you can. If you regret, I'll give you your money back.
