The Twins

We headed up to the Mall of America a few days ago.




To go shopping? Me? Are you kidding? To go for a ride on the Light Rail to downtown Minneapolis.

To go shopping? No! We’ve been over that point. To go to Target Field to watch the Twins take on the Pale Hose.

I thought you gave up on them ye of little faith. I did. Face it after 7 of their starting players were out on the disabled list and they were 16 ½ games behind Cleveland near the end of May, it looked hopeless.
So you gave up and..... And they’ve won 12 of the last fourteen games and are now only 8 behind Tigers for the lead. Plus our big boppers are coming back. Things are looking up..So how was the game? Blackburn bested Buehrle 1-zip for the win.
"We gonna win Twins. We’re gonna score. Watch that baseball soar....."

Ok. I confess. Mrs. T. is correct. I'm a "fair weather fan." When things are going good or looking up I'm 100% on the band wagon. :)

  3. Well, I am glad to hear you were going to a game, rather than SHOPPING. It would not have fit my image of you, so thanks for clearing that up. And good luck to your team. Let me know more, only if they do good, though... :-)

  4. How was the light rail? I wish that they would have it go all the way to St. Cloud so I could catch it there.
    So you were at a "Twinkies" game ( That is what everyone up here calls them when they are not doing so well) I hope you had a good time:)

  5. I still have a Twinkies hat around here somewhere.My parents lived there so I got to go to a lot of games and football also.A free box seat is hard to pass, there were too many fair weather fans when they weren't playing well.

  11. I missed a few games and they started winning. Cause and effect? I was almost afraid to start watching again. But those games get so long that I just can't sit that long. Works best for me to start cooking late so that I watch the start while I'm cooking, then I'm not sitting. Glad to see them winning, but the games sure are close and low scoring.
