Metrodome Magic!

Great win last night guys! That win sets the tone for the series. We must continue with this confidence and push all the way through September. Don't worry, the September Callups will help get the job done!

Speaking of the callups, I am so happy that Tolbert and Buscher are back. Everyone needs what I call a "Buscher" at bat. An at bat that makes the pitcher throw over five pitches to a batter. Buscher does that nearly every time he is up to bat. Go Buscher! Wear that guy out! Tolbert? Well, he can play anywhere. He is like a Brandon Inge...only he doesn't catch. :)

What ever happend to Pridie? I met him down in Florida and he was such a happy-go-lucky guy. We called him over for autographs but he went the other way. We thought he ignored us, but a minute later he comes back and says "Did somebody call my name?". Ah, what a guy! :)

In other news...Ozzie would like to be apart of the "farewell metrodome" thing. What a scam. He is so sneaky it makes me sick. A quote from the news story on twinsbaseball.com: "Actually, Guillen would like to be the individual who blows up the Metrodome" haha. I bet he would. Thank you vikings for not getting a new stadium!

And...Crede is NOT retiring. Don't even think that! ....I just wish he could play vs. the White Sox because he kicks butt against them :(

Good Luck tonight Mr. Manship! Make the rookies proud!

Cycle, Baybay!

Congrats Michael Cuddyer! Yet another Twin to hit for the cycle, and coming just over a month of Kubel's cycle too! So proud Cud, so proud!

I just happend to come inside to hear that Cuddy was only a triple shy of the cycle. I thought "oh, how extremely hard it would be to hit a triple to get the cycle" and BAM he does it (on the LEFT side too!). It kinda looked like he was crying at 3rd too. Love you Cuddy!

Anyway, SO glad that we ended that nasty streak of losing games and are back on track. 20 runs against the Sox? We should do that more often! Hoorah to Mauer on the GS, and Tolbert, just cus he's tolbert ♥

And Boy, do I LOVE interleague play. Cause we ROCK! Kevin Slowey is like the ace of Interleague, if only we were in Milwaukee so he could hit some more!

~And....2 pictures that make me laugh~ :)

haha. They look upset. I wonder why??


These people were embarrased after looking up at the board at the end of the game...

Homerun Happy

Ok, we can't hit homeruns ever, but when we do, their all in a cluster. Just like yesterday's and todays games.

I honestly think Morneau gets jealous of Mauer. 2 days in a row Mauer has homered, and Morneau has followed with an even better homer (his usual upperdeck type stuff). Well, I guess if Morneau will get a homer everytime after Mauer, I won't be complaining! :)

I am going to seriously have to update my HR list with these two games. Yesterday: Harris, Mauer, Morneau, and Buscher. Today: (as of 7th inning) Mauer, Morneau, Cuddyer. I amliking this power boost!

Also, great job of eating those worms today bert. You looked like a master at that! It was for a great cause too. :D
Whatta guy :)


P.S. I am LOVING Matt Tolbert right now! ♥

Now, the real deal

FINALLY the offseason is over and we can get on to some REAL baseball. However, it is kind of depressing that it is here because if we just had one more month, we could have Baker and Mauer ready for opening day. ugh, why are we plagued with injuries so bad!

Somthing kinda-not really baseball related:
Ok, So I got this stuffed Narwahl for my birthday and it was right after getting back from Spring Training, so I decided to name him Matty T after my Best Friend Matt Tolbert. Turns out that Matt is going to be playing lil' league this start of the season so I will need my Narwahl more than ever to remind me of him. Oh, poor Matt. He did so well this Spring, and now is sent down. I cry for my best friend!
This is it incase you were wondering....
(Isn't he a cutie? That's why I named it after my cute Best Friend Matt Tolbert!)

Ok, back to baseball:

I am glad that we are going into the season with a win. The boys will be in better spirits then. I think that Seattle is going to be a whole lot better this year, so boys? Don't underestimate them. (Unless it's Silva, then maybe)

Also, Jose Morales is so cool. He is on my good side for now. I do hope he does really good to try (I said TRY) to make up for Mauer's awesome-ness behind the plate. I wonder who he'll catch for...Blackburn? Slowey? Those are my guesses.


I will hopefully get those [awesome] pics of [tolbert] Spring Training up soon, and hopefully blog something [GREAT] about our first game of the season on monday.

My Spring Training expirience :)

Ah, just got back from Florida (sadly, it is still freezing in MN). I have so much to blog about that I can't remember half of it so here it goes.
Ok, so the Twins had lost 2 games in a row before I went to Sunday's game vs. Toronto. They then won vs. Toronto when I was there, Then Monday vs. the Orioles when I was there, Then @ the Marlins' stadium (again I was there). Then the next game they played (Thursday @ Reds' stadium) they lost. Coincidence? I sure hope not.....but then again yes :)

Spring Training games are SO MUCH more fun than regular games. The guys are so relaxed and really nice...well, except Morneau who really hates people I think. I got 7 Autographs in 2 days. It was so cool! AND I got 3 of my top 5 players' autographs

(My top 5 (in order of favorites): Slowey, Tolbert (Recently Added), Blackburn , Harris, &Buscher)

In all, I got: Nathan, Span, Buscher, Tolbert, Pridie, Mijares (he is awesome!), and Harris

Probably my most favorite game was the away game against the Marlins because
1)Slowey pitched AND had 3 RBI's! It was amazing!
2) I got 5 autographs
3) (Most Favorite): Brian Buscher tossed ME the game ball :D (Which, as I calculated, had been: Pitched by Slowey, hitten by a bat, touched by Tolbert, caught by Busch, and tossed to me... ah what a great day it was...

Jeez, Outside baseball is 100% better than indoor baseball. The sun, heat, fresh air. Ah, I can't wait till 2010.

Also, I have become attached to Matt Tolbert. He is what I call my new best friend. He played every game I watched and played the whole time. And...I spyed on him through my binoculars... hehe :)

Please Comment this and tell about your favorite Spring Training expirience. (If you have never gone, you should seriously consider it. The people down there are so nice and I seriously cannot wait to go back to Ft. Meyers!)
