Twins Angels Series slump, Twins Royal series hump

After the remarkable home opener, I thought the Twins were going to split the Los Angeles Angels series for sure, but I was wrong and the Twins ended up losing the next three. Thankfully, the Kansas City Royals came to town and the Twins were able to win two out three. Had the Twins lost that series, I may have just quit blogging…or probably not, but I would have been a very unhappy Minnesota Twins fan. It was a busy week at the Metrodome with the Twins in town all week; I will be sad next week that they will be on the road.

Twins Angels Series tied at one apiece

The Minnesota Twins won their home opener in grand fashion and new Twins centerfielder Carlos Gomez made a statement with Twins fans and his new team. He is fast! Lightning fast! Gomez had a lead off double that for most guys would have only been a single and then his bunt had me on my feet! I couldn’t believe how quick he was and you would think in order to be that fast you would have to be small, but nooooo, he was big! Tall and quick, I heard his interview though after the game and I couldn’t understand a word he said! It was so funny. I will tell you one thing, Carlos Gomez will help sell Minnesota Twins Tickets and jerseys!

The Minnesota Twins were not so successful last night losing big time to the Angels 9-1. Let’s hope they can pull off a win tonight so they can still win the series. Let’s go Twins!

Minnesota Twins Opener and the snow

It’s finally here! It’s finally here! The Minnesota Twins home opener! The Los Angeles Anaheim Angels are in town and it’s a good thing we are still at the HHH Metrodome because the six inches of falling snow would for sure cancel the game in the new Twins open-air stadium.

There is a lot of talk on sports radio about how stupid Minnesota is for not putting a roof on their brand new multi-million dollar stadium and I for one have to agree. It always seems that Minnesota does everything the cheap way, not the right way. Let’s face it, this is Minnesota and there will be snow in March and April and lots of rain too. I am not looking forward to the nightmare of rescheduled games or of opening the season so late thanks to Minnesota weather. It just doesn’t seem right to have a stadium in the nations ice box without a roof. I am all for open air baseball, but come on, let’s put a retractable roof on the thing!
