New Beginnings: via MnTwinsTalk February 02, 2010 at 11:11 AM; Thank God for Baseball! After the miserable ending for the Vikings season, I am relying heavily on baseball to get me through the rest of the cold winter here in Minnesota. There are many exciting things going on with our local ballclub. First off is the opening of Target field. The detractors complain about the lack [...]
It's like boot-camp for baseball fans.: via MnTwinsTalk April 21, 2009 at 06:12 AM; [OK. So my carefully crafted stern talking-to didn't really help. Time to try a different approach. Let's try some unconditional loving support, with a sprinkle of "que sera, sera" attitude thrown in for good measure.]Maybe this is a good thing. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise.Maybe all the losing is necessary to wash out all the lame fair-weather fans. And then they will all sell their
And the faithful were rewarded.: via MnTwinsTalk April 21, 2009 at 06:12 AM; See? I asked the team to try to be more like Ian Kinsler, and look what happens!?Jason Kubel, you have done an excellent job of following directions. Gold star for you! Guess who gets his very own kazoo parade of awesomeness now? How nice was it to see Joe Nathan again, right? Wow, I've missed him.Boy, I bet it sucked to be one of the people who left in the 7th inning.
3 wins and a bag of random treasures = Good weekend: via MnTwinsTalk April 21, 2009 at 06:12 AM; The best way I can think of to describe the weekend is this:I know, I know....my pictoral summary of the weekend bears a striking resemblance to Randy Ruiz. Purely coincidental, I assure you.First series win of the season, first sweep of the season. Good times. It's too bad it had to come at the expense of the Angels, because I normally don't like kicking folks when they're down. [I find it's u
Dome Sweet Dome!: via MnTwinsTalk April 13, 2009 at 11:27 AM; The Twins lost two of three from the ChiSox. The hitting was abysmal. The pitching was just as bad. The silver lining? Well, last year at this time the Twins went to the windy city and were swept in a four game series. During that series the Twinks were outscored by a score of 40-15. So….it could [...]
Dickey, Crede and Morneau pace Twins: via MnTwinsTalk April 10, 2009 at 11:33 PM; Today marked the first time that the Twins set foot in Chicago since game 162 of last season. This time the Twins has an extra bounce in their step. The weather in the south side of Chicago was cold and blustery but the Twins bats were anything but cold. The Twins got off to an early [...]
Twins win a thriller!: via MnTwinsTalk April 08, 2009 at 07:46 AM; Given the way that the night started, I was shocked to see the Twins come from behind to steal their first win of the season last night. Everything that could have went wrong seemingly did last night for the Twins. Blackburn was not hit hard and pitched effectively however the Mariners racked up [...]
Opener Recap: via MnTwinsTalk April 07, 2009 at 11:23 AM; There were not too many positives that could be drawn from last nights game. I do think that there are a few silver linings in the midst a barrage of homeruns given up by the Twins pitching staff. 1. Span looked VERY comfortable in left field. There were several balls hit to the gap in left [...]
Game 1: Twins vs. Mariners: via MnTwinsTalk April 06, 2009 at 01:41 PM; Ladies and Gentlemen. Boys and Girls. Let me introduce you to the 2009 baseball season. Today is the best baseball day of the year. Today unlike all others, fans from all over the nation stood by the water cooler to discuss their favorite baseball teams chances. There were many discussions of “If ARod can only stay healthy” [...]
Nostalgia: via MnTwinsTalk April 05, 2009 at 05:29 PM; There are not too many times in my life where i’ve been nostalgic. Tomorrow I will however be feeling this strange emotion. Tomrrow as I make my way to the Metrodome, I will be overcome with all the opening day celebrations i’ve been to over the years. While none of the openers that i’ve been [...]
Twins Blog: via MnTwinsTalk April 04, 2009 at 11:22 PM; Just like baseball, every season starts anew. I too will follow the lead that the MLB has shown by starting to blog again. I will be starting again from scratch. No old posts. No old comments. No old website design. I hope to make this blog into an informative look at the Minnesota Twins and [...]
Tolbert Optioned to AAA: via MnTwinsTalk April 04, 2009 at 11:22 PM; As expected, the Twins optioned utility infielder to Triple-A on Friday. This isn’t much of a shock to me however I would have much preferred to see Tolbert make the big league squad. There are several reasons for this. First off, I love his speed and he is a definite spark plug coming off the [...]
