A Twins starter spots the opposition a few runs before most fans have settled into their seats. We only saw that, what, 125 times last year?

Here's an idea: whoever can go the longest without getting sucked into a flame war over insignificant trivialities gets to be the opening day starter. (How's your arm feeling these days, glunn?)
