The 2010 Minnesota Twins are officially over. Defeated by the hands of the New York Yankees, the Minnesota Twins enjoyed another AL Central Division winning season.

Keep checking up on my Twins Baseball Love blog for any offseason news or updates. Thanks for the ride Minnesota Twins!

I promise I have not forgotten about the Minnesota Twins Fans

I know it has been a little quiet here at Minnesota Twins Fan, but I wanted to let you all know that I have not forgotten about you in the slightest. In fact, I've been working on creating a new Minnesota Twins Blog that will be even better than this one. I have not decided if I'm going to fully transfer all of my Twins Commentary over to the new blog (which you can find at Twins Baseball Love) or if I'm going to target the two blogs to different audiences. Either way, I promise not to leave you in the dark.

While I am in Twins Blogging transition, I thought I would send you over to a friend of mine's blog about Target Field . This blog has AMAZING Target Field pictures and inside information. It is updated pretty regularly and always has interesting info on it.

So Sports Fans, don't worry... there will be plenty of Twins Information out there for you to absorb!

2010 is the year of baseball returns to its roots in the Twin Cities

When the game of baseball was started and America found it's pastime, the game was played outside. Bats were wooden, seats were hard and the sunshine was hot... Today, we play with synthetic material, some seats are better than your couch and there is AC in the luxury boxes.

However, 2010 is going to be a throwback year for the Minnesota Twins. The Twins Stadium, Target Field is opening for the 2010 Twins Season and will be the first return of outdoor baseball for the Minnesota Twins in decades.

While Target Field is not quite wooden benches it will feel like a return to Minnesota Twins Baseball like it was intended... cold and rainy in the Spring, hot and humid all summer long, and a potential for snow if we make the post-season.

Don't miss a moment of the inaugural season of Target Field.

Minnesota Twins Start The Countdown to Opening Day at Target Field

The Minnesota Twins are moving... obviously, hence all of the hoopla and counting down and the excitement surrounding Opening Day at Target Field. The Minnesota Twins have been playing in the HHH Metrodome inside for a long time. But that is all about to change. The Minnesota Twins will be taking baseball outside and playing at the brand new Target Field. Target Field will be a state of the art outdoor baseball stadium.

The Minnesota Twins Roster is eager to play at Target Field and are anxiously counting down the days to the Minnesota Twins Home Opener.

Minnesota Twins Fan is officially starting the Countdown to Target Field

It's time... I feel like a kid waiting to write her letter to Santa, I held off as long as I could. It is time to start the official countdown until the Minnesota Twins open their first Twins home game at Target Field.

In exactly.... 143 Days, 2 hours and 10 minutes the Minnesota Twins will be welcomed onto Target Field, the new home of the Twins! Fans are eagerly awaiting the opening of Target Field and I for one intend to be first in line at the Target Field Ticket Office when single game Twins Tickets go on sale!

Could a new Minnesota Twins Blog be in order for the New Twins Stadium

Hey There Twins Fans!

With baseball season over and no new Twins News to report, I've had some time to think about my life as a sports blogger. While I will always love this site, I think that it might be time to start a new blog... new blog for a new stadium. I wouldn't dream of leaving any of you wanting for Twins News so trust me, if and when I decide to add a new blog my loyal Twins Fans peers will be the first to know!

Thoughts? Suggestions for Blog Titles? Post ideas?

Can't wait for Target Field to open and the Minnesota Twins to start playing again. Perhaps I will start the blog early and make predictions about the food and the seats.

GO TWINKIES!

Rain makes me think of Spring, Spring makes me think of Baseball and Baseball makes me think of the Twins at Target Field

For any of you living in the Twin Cities right now, you know that this October has been one of the rainiest on record and the weather has been more typical of early March than of early fall... what does that mean in terms of my love of baseball?

Rain makes me think of Spring... Spring makes me think of baseball... Baseball makes me think of the Minnesota Twins at Target Field!

I know that it may seem a little early to be thinking about the 2010 Minnesota Twins Season, but trust me its not! Target Field Tickets are going to be the hottest stocking stuffer this year, mark my words (hint, hint for anyone buying me a gift this year... I would love MN Twins Tickets!) If you aren't planning on buying tickets to Target Field for gifts but are still just a little curious about all the buzz, check out the video below of images from Target Field and think, in just a few short months we will be having warm rain that will signal the start of baseball and the opening of Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins.

Thanks for the Memories Twins, the 2009 MN Twins Season comes to a close but fans have LOTS to look forward to!

The Minnesota Twins 2009 Baseball Season has come to a close.

First I want to say a big Thank You to the Minnesota Twins Roster, you guys are the best! Despite our sometimes love-hate (you love me, I hate that I can't love you because you make me mad) relationship.. you guys worked really hard this season! Joe Mauer, you deserve the MVP title and I can't wait to see you at Target Field (if you want to meet up before then, I'd be ok with that too!)

Secondly, readers and fellow Twins Fans: TARGET FIELD and OUTDOOR BASEBALL is finally on the horizon. Now that we've paid due homage to the HHH Metrodome, we can get really excited about how outdoor baseball in the Twin Cities. I know that our weather isn't ideal and I know that you are probably thinking, what is Minnesota Twins Baseball without a Dome Dog, but I think it will be great! Baseball is meant to be outside and for as much as I LOVE the Dome, I think I'm going to LOVE Target Field that much more!

So until next season, the posts will probably slow down a little, but rest assured knowing that any breaking MN Twins news will be found here first! Also, check here as news about Twins Tickets for Target Field is released

What a season!

New Twins Blog Update

My new Minnesota Twins blog will LAUNCH (drumroll, please) on:

Monday, April 6th – TWINS OPENING DAY

What a perfect time to kick-off a blog dedicated to the boys of summer . . . and a few other things.

I haven’t decided on the new blog name yet – I really like Twins Target and Talladega, but I think it may be hard for people to spell / remember.

These are some of my other choices:

TwinsatTargetField

TargetandTwinsBaseball

TwinsandTarget or TwinsonTarget

MinnesotalovesTwinsandTarget

None of these roll off the tongue or get me as excited as Twins, Target and Talladega. I think I may have to go with that one. Blogging 101 says to pick a blog theme that you are passionate about because in order to be a successful blogger you have to have a niche and write a lot!

Check back - I will post a link to the new blog once I launch it!

New Minnesota Twins Blog

I want to create a new Minnesota Twins Blog that incorporates more than just baseball talk because let's face it - I am not a total baseball nut. I have other interests as well - like shopping! I really like to shop at Target and since the new Twins stadium will be dubbed Target Field, it seems fitting to blend my two loves of Twins Baseball and Target Shopping into one blog - right?

That's a rhetorical question because I have already made my mind up...what I haven't decided is what my URL name should be. If anyone has any clever ideas - let me here them!

Target Field Seats Revealed

I saw a news story this afternoon about the new Twins stadium seats. Boy, those Twins marketing gurus are good at keeping the baseball team in the news even during the boring off season.

Here’s the deal: Target Field will have 6 different types of seats – apparently that is very unusual – I have only been to 3 MLB ballparks and I have to admit I didn’t look around to count the seat types so we will have to take the official word of the Twins that this is unusual and newsworthy. There will be bleachers with backs, plushy suite seats and most of the stadium (80%) will be filled with the standard folding ballpark seats we are all used to.

What will be new to us is that the Target Field seats will be 1 inch wider than the Metrodome seats and offer more leg room – I think that is fitting in the state that is home to Paul Bunyan and the Green Giant!

The folding ballpark seats will be a Northwood green color to give Target Field an old time ballpark feel and of course are touted as fade resistant. The club level will have wood back seats which look pretty cool. You can try the new seats out at Twins Fest this weekend…for some of us poorer baseball fans, it may be the only time we get to sit in the seats.

Carl Pohlad Gone, Not Forgotten

It’s been a week and a half since I update this Twins blog – sorry, readers! Not too much to report on the off-season yet and the Twins offices are usually quiet over the holiday weeks as well.

I am sure everyone heard that Twins owner Carl Pohlad died Monday. As with any pro sports team owner, us fans have enjoyed (endured?) a love/ hate relationship with Pohlad. I am sure we will experience more of the same with Pohlad’s sons taking over the top level decision making. My guess is regular fans will not even notice the difference. We will still be frustrated with lack of spending especially if the team doesn’t make it to the playoffs in ’09 and even more frustrated if the team isn’t World Series ready when we open the fancy new stadium in ’10.

Part of me feels sad that Carl Pohlad won’t get to sit in the stands and see the first pitch thrown at Target Field in 2010, but then again he didn’t want to pay for that stadium any way – I am still bitter he wouldn’t ante up more money especially for a retractable roof – come on, Carl – you lived in Minnesota, you know the weather! And that fact that there are plenty of fair-weather fans. Every time a game is cancelled due to rain or cold, I will think of Carl.
Carl Pohlad may be gone, but he will not be forgotten as his next generation take over the Minnesota Twins.

Minnesota Twins gifts

I hope every one had a great holiday! I would like to report that I did NOT receive any Minnesota Twins merchandise under my tree this year. Santa?!? Hello, did you forget that I wanted some blue fleece Minnesota Twins mittens? Maybe next year. It’s not like I could wear them to the Metrodome in the summer any way, but I wanted to show my spirit year round and I am betting I could make good use of the Twins mittens at a few early spring and late fall games at Target Field in 2010! I did get a promise from my sister to take me to a game at the Dome in 2009, her word is good as gold so I guess I should count that as a Minnesota Twins gift, right?

Leave me comments with your favorite Minnesota Twins gifts!
