NEW YEAR!

Just a week into the New Year and I have to admit my mind is drifting to baseball. I of course have been keeping tabs on the new additions, trades and options. For the first time ever I am thinking how much fun it would be to go to spring training!! I have gone with my Dad long ago to spring games in Arizona but never was into it...But I think about the chance to see the Twins!! and I get all giddy!

I am excited to see our newest Twin Tsuyoshi Nishioka! Think our midfield will be really fast!! I have faith that Alexi is going to step up and be an asset! I think he did well filling in last year and showed some flashes of greatness. Perhaps I am overly optimistic but didn't you hear 2011 is the year of optimism!!

I must extend my congratulations to Bert Blyleven for making it into the Hall of Fame!! About time!! Loved watching him sign his first baseball with the HOF on FSN, good job Marnie! Can't wait to hear how Bert pronounces Tsuyoshi Nishioka! Better make a good nickname for him.

Have my fingers crossed for the Pavano signing as well as a healthy Morneau!

GO TWINS!!!

Jim Thome?!!

Jim Thome is evidently on the Twins radar. Not sure how I feel about that...Do we really nedd another left hand DH? Though at least he wouldn't be batting against us.

I shall with hol judgement until its a deal or not.

why?

One reason I am writing this is to talk baseball. My best friend could careless about baseball but is often kind enough to listen to me blabber after a big game. So I wanted a forum to spout off as I wanted about the Twins and baseball.

Please understand while I will talk about the games I will also randomly comment on other things some extended family of baseball others so remotely connected it will make you shake your head.

Future subjects shall include the following: Uniforms, new stadium, food at stadium, fans, Gardy, TK, ozzie, TC Bear,Tor i i, the royals of my youth and what ever pops into my head!

I will do my best to write at least once a day. I am hopeful that someone will eventually read this but actually dont care i will just pretend someone is reading. Eventually my family will find out about this blog and they will have something to say about the Twins too!

figure this all out...

Ok so I haven't figured out this whole blog thing as far as editing and such so my first post was sort of incomplete when I posted it but who cares. Really i am the only one reading it so it doesn't matter. I will figure it out as I go!

What i got to say about the Twins today is......SIGN MAUER ALREADY!!!

baseball fever

I am ready for BASEBALL to start!

yes I am excited about the Vikings....but i have been dreaming about baseball. Dreamt about JJ Hardy hitting the ball getting on base. Decided this was a good omen...now once a day I find myself thinking baout the baseball season. I am trying to win tickets to Twins Fest! I saw an ad on TV and it showed a picture of Tor i i...made me so sad. Damn i miss him. Luckily I hadn't gotten as attached to GoGo...who I adore and am happy is at Milwaukee. My cousins are going to love him!!

Milwaukee would be my third favorite team. Yep the other night when I couldn't sleep i thought about the Twins and baseball. My mind drifting back to early memories, the team I use to adore, the Kansas City Royals! Amos Otis throwing a guy out at home plate from centerfield. Irealized I am not a die hard Baseball stat loving play by play fan. But i DO remember plays at least I remember the core of it how it made me feel as it happened. A leaping catch by Tor i i or a first base dive by Nicky. May not remember the inning or out or who was pitching or batting. I dont always know the line up order. But I love watching the game!

So I have decided to write about the upcoming Twins season. Like I said I am not a stat geek but I know the game pretty well by I dont think I am subjective at all. I am a fan. I love the Twins yet hate some of the ownership decisions, dont always agree with what they do
