Sleepy in Seattle

Not a good second game in Seattle. Blackburn was definitely not feelin it last night and Mahay just plain sucked. But I held out hope that the bats would wake up! Not to make excuses for them but I imagine the time change and travel affected them. I surely hope they play better tonight and are ready for the rest of the road trip.

Stay up late and cheer them on!! At the very least its fun to watch Ichiro bat. That guy has the weirdest swing but man is it effective! He is always contending for the batting title.



I wish they had miked up Hudson in the dug out last night. It cracks me up that when ever they show him he is talking. I think the only time he isn't is as the pitch comes to him when batting. Did you see during the Texas game when he was talking to a ranger on second base about a previous play? The ranger(sorry cant remember which one) was obviously uncomfartable and just trying to ignore him. Such a contrast to other Twins like Mauer and Morneau who seem like quiet guys. I think its good for the team to have a player like that who is always going.

Enjoy the game.
GO TWINS!!!

"its kinda sexy."

According to Michael Cuddyer the new Twins lineup is "kind of sexy". Well I cant disagree with him! I am so excited to see them get out and play. I am hopeful that Loriano is back to form and Neshek is going to bolster the bullpen. Our new shortstop JJ and second basemen Orlando Hudson will help add some punch to the lineup without any let down in defense!! Its all so exciting I can hardly wait to go to a game!

"O-dog!"

It's official we have a new second basemen! Orlando Hudson age 32 like I said yesterday he is a former all star and gold glove winner. He can switch hit and seems like a good no. 2 hitter.
So that means Harris will be the primary 3rd basemen with Punto and Tolbert filling in for 2nd SS and 3rd as needed. Think Punto does good as a utility player seems to always be a spark! So I shall be optimistic about this new addition and confident that between Harris Punto and Tolbert we will be ok at 3rd. Not sure where this puts Alexi I suppose if he does well in spring training he could knock Tolbert off but wouldn't be surprised if they trade him. (Honestly I think Gardy is sick of him!) Maybe they could send him to Milwaukee too!

66 days until Opening Day at Target Field!!
