Kubel the Angel slayer

It is really a shame that we couldn't do anything to get this race interesting when Chicago and Detroit were playing eachother. From 2 GB, to 5 GB. Ouch. Well, at least the white sox are only 2 games ahead! (yay?)

Ugh, I just HATE those extra inning games and when we are ahead but then lose in the end. The Oakland game was UG-LY and I won't even speak of it again. It feels like we've had a bajillion extra inning games lately. I hope we end that soon, it makes me so nervous and really spazzy.

Anyway, I hope we can beat up on the sox and then come back to do better against the Angels at home. Jason Kubel better play every game vs. the Angels because he is amazing!

Feel Better Joe Crede, we need you. (Whoa! You got a haircut!)

Finally, a win

Ugh, it's been forever since I saw the MIN highlighted on MLB.com. Finally Today we beat the O's 5-3 (and Humber got a start!)

Finally Span is starting to break out and hit the ball. Unfortunatly, Morneau isn't....yet.

And Crede hit his first Homerun as a Twin today!! Whew, the Race between Busch and Crede is pretty close, but I don't think the Twins are going to not start Crede considering they just got him. But Crede is going to be so fun to watch this season!

Well, keep on rollin' Twins. I'll see you down @ Spring Training in 6 days!

Team Bonding

I think he's gunna like it here :)


Countdown till first Spring Training Game: 2 days, 1 hour

Welcome to Minnesota, Joe!

Ah finally. Just what we needed: a third baseman that can hit with power. We have been waiting many years for this, people!

Anyway...Joe Crede? You will like the Twins WAY better than the White Sox. And, now we won't have to worry about you playing against us (and doing very well), we will just worry about your health, now that you are with US! And, thanks for having a small pricetag too ;)

So I heard this news on Fox 9 Last night (even though the Twins website said they were interested in him before). I also heard from Jim Rich that this is a possible lineup/position roster for opening day:

~Span (LF)
~Casilla (2B)
~Mauer (C)
~Morneau (1B)
~Kubel (DH)
~Crede (3B)
~Cuddyer (RF)
~Gomez (CF)

As far as starting piching? Of course I would say Slowey, but there are many decisions that Gardee will have to make.

One other thing Jim Rich Said: "[With the signing of Crede] the Twins are now looked at as the most likely leader of the Central Division"

Now doesn't that just make your day? :)
