What a beautiful day for baseball! Not even worried about who won (though the Twins did!). The stadium was the focus of these two games with St Louis a chance for the players to get a feel for it as well as the fans. The state of art drainage system was the star yesterday! The negative nellies must have been pleased to see the rain coming so they could complain about no roof! But the rain stopped and the field looked beautiful! I have no doubts we will deal with really cold or wet weather at points this year but i have to say the ballpark is beautiful!! I cant wait to get to a game!
As far as our Twins Denard looked sharp in the game yesterday and today Mauer knocked one out and so did Cuddy! I have a feeling Span will be a big spark all year and once Cuddy figures out the parks wind currents he is going to hit a lot out of there!! No doubt Morneau, Kubel, and Mauer will be hitting them too! They will figure out the spots to hit on the wall to get those extra bases as well as learn how to play them defensively.
It is going to take some getting use for the fans as well. Watching on TV its hard to remember this is our home park. I am glad we had these two games to get the awe for the Park out of the way now when they come back we can just focus on the team.
By the way it is the Twins organizations preference that we call this a ball park not a stadium.
