sunday at the twins game
3 Aug 2008I went to my 3rd Twins game of the year this afternoon, thanks to some tickets I got from work on Friday. I didn’t do anything special, other than putting my name in the drawing, but the email I sent to do that did take a lot of work.
We were in row seven, but there [...]
a few twins links
24 Apr 2008I 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 [...]
torii’s return
7 Apr 2008It’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.
bill smith? is that an alias?
28 Nov 2007Just 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 [...]
oh snap, mitch
8 Nov 2007I got a call this morning on my cell phone from Mitch, who was calling from the Minnesota Twins. For five seconds I got excited. I thought maybe they’d seen my resume and wanted me to, you know, manage the team or be the person that stretches Joe Mauer before every game. Yeah, no such [...]
i have some ideas
29 Oct 2007I’m glad the Red Sox won the series. They’re my #2 team, so I’m a happy camper. Especially since my #1 team (the Twins) happen to be the most disorganized, backwards acting team in the world right now.
They extended Joe Nathan’s contract for another year – $6 million for another year as the closer. Never [...]
i’ll start a paypal account for his salary
25 Oct 2007While I’m glad my second favorite baseball team kicked some pretty good ass last night, I still can’t stop thinking about what the Twins are going to do with Torii Hunter.
"I’m kind of disappointed, but what can you do?" Hunter told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "That’s my home team; I want to be with [...]
stitch n’ pitch and then i bitch
23 Jul 2007Yesterday was Stitch n’ Pitch at the Metrodome. I had no intentions whatsoever in stitching anything during the game, but my homies were going to a Twins game, so of course I was going to go. Little did I realize some thread and a needle would have been handy during the game to actually stitch [...]
i’m wearing the visor right now
12 Jun 2007I was really excited to go to the Twins game tonight for several reasons. I hadn’t been to a game since last month. Joe Mauer’s back from his stint on the DL. I snagged an awesome single ticket. And I dug out the ol’ 10x optical zoom camera.
The Twins won, the nachos were good, I [...]
