The only other thing I remember about the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona aside from The Dream Team (Christian Laettner and Michael Jordan on the same team! Hi, Fan Girl!) was Oscar De La Hoya, and that’s probably because I was 14 and thought he was oh-so-dreamy. And then I completely forgot about him until [...]

I’d been overly excited about paying the balance on my Lynx season tickets for the 2008 season, but I ended up deciding against it. It’s a commitment (I’m not good at those!) and it’s a a good chunk of change when one isn’t really gainfully employed come time to pay your ticket balance. I figured [...]

I guess the Timberwolves must have gotten a by in the first round of the NBA playoffs (I know this isn’t the case, but c’mon - a girl can dream), so I’m just biding my time reading about other playoff games.
Tracy McGrady’s being blamed for basically not giving it his all for a full four [...]

I have about 405 posts I want to make about sports, but I keep finding other things to write about.
The Dugout makes me cry. The folks there generate IM conversations between baseball players. I know, I know. It doesn’t sound funny. BUT IT IS. My favorites as of late have featured new Twins player Delmon [...]

Forbes has put together a list of the Top 10 Most Miserable Sports Cities. I definitely thought I’d find Kansas City and St. Louis on the list, without even knowing what the list was based on. No offense, Missouri sports fans, but let’s be serious - people always forget teams in those cities even exist. [...]

It was kind of disappointing day for me last year when Franciso Liriano had to cut his season short due to an arm injury.  And despite pitching about as well as I could while rehabbing in the minors this winter and spring, someone in the Twins organization thought it’d be a good idea to bring [...]

It’s been one week since my last baseball game. Okay, it was my first baseball game of the season and it just happened to also be Opening Day (for America) in baseball. We grabbed a pile of seats in between left and center field, which couldn’t have been a more perfect place to sit for [...]

Since the Twins have somehow managed to lose the biggest chunk of their recognizable talent, they’ve resorted to things like this to advertise for the upcoming season:

I miss you, Torii. And Johan. A lot.

I want to move out of Minnesota. It’s really just for sports-related reasons, but still. I think it’s a valid excuse.
The Timberwolves trade everyone to Boston.
The Twins let one of my top three favorite players go to another team, and try to trade another one of my top three favorite players to any other team [...]

Just because I can’t find your name in the phone book, fine sir, does not mean that I won’t find a way to track you down and say mean things to you. (Smith, for those if you not in the know, took over as the Minnesota Twins General Manager this past season when Terry Ryan [...]
