Hello Spring Training!

It is FINALLY here! The first step towards baseball season (& the new stadium!!).

Seeing the pitchers and catchers warm up in a video on the news today makes me so excited but also really sad. I absolutly LOVED going to spring training last year and I want to be down there so bad it kills me! Seeing all the fans at the fence reminds me: "Hey! That was ME a year ago!". I am begging to go again next year. It was the best time of my life.

And again, it never fails that we seem to always have somebody with a Visa problem (coughMijarescough). I am glad that people like Mauer and Slowey don't have to worry about things like that :0).

More blogs to come during this pre-season! :)

"April Showers Bring May Joe Mauers!"

And that indeed, is a true statement.

**Sorry for my delay in blogging, so here is a quick mop up of the series' I missed**

Ok, Starting off with the most important guy: Joe Mauer. I was sitting watching the first inning of the game yesterday and was so excited about this new addition to our team (which we really needed). I was thinking "How awesome would it be if Mauer got a huge hit in his first at bat? Then everybody would go crazy!". Well, it happend! What a guy that Joe Mauer is!

I think Morneau is going to be REALLY good this year am I right? And with his BFF back, he's gunna be even better!

I am very impressed with the series against the Rays. You made them look so stupid on wednesday! And Cleveland was very good as well. And Boston....yeah, we don't even mention that team.

Another thing: How is Mijares SO DANG GOOD!?! He can go 3-0 in a count and come back to strike them out! He has a wicked breaking ball as well. He pitched against John Buck (whose name makes me laugh every time) and threw him the nastiest curve ever!

Something that makes me laugh:
I found this lady in a magazine. Looks like a female version of Kevin Slowey.


What do you think? :)

Oh, Kevin Slowey...

Why do thou hurt me? We need to sweep these guys! We can't be doing throwing errors at this time of year! Why Slowey? why?

Well, even if we do lose this (score as of 8:34 PM: 6-2 Sox) we still have a chance to get in. But...oh man. It would have been grand to be in first!!

Kudos to the rest of the team tho. Kubel in the First game, Young in all games, Gomez and his spectacular catch and countless other things we have been doing great.

Well, good luck vs. KC boys. And remember, there still is hope!....hopefully... :)

P.S. OUR BULLPEN IS ROCKIN! And Mijares....you are one excited fella.
