Confession Time: I love staying up late to watch Twins Baseball. The kids are in bed, the husband is in bed - it's just me and the Joe's and Justin and my new love (tonight anyway) Jason Kubel.
I know extra innings are exhausting, but there is something exhilarating about them as well. It's the sudden death feeling that gets my heart racing and my eyeballs scrutinizing every single pitch.
I love Twins Territory.

Twins Baseball Frustrating
Todays Pioneer Press Minnesota Twins headline;
"Ron Gardenhire rages after Minnesota Twins end up on short end against Baltimore Orioles"
Gardy isn’t the only one raging. I can’t believe how terrible the Twins luck has been lately. Whether it’s the conspiracy to shorten games in the home teams favor due to bad weather (Baltimore last night) or the flukey bounces of the ball lately that have caused some embarrassing fielding errors for the Twins, not to mention the terrible pitching which doesn’t look anything like it did in spring training.
It just seems nothing can go right for the Minnesota Twins lately (except for baby Jesus Mauer coming back) – Twins baseball is so frustrating….then again, I think that is just the destiny for a Minnesota sports fan in general…FRUSTRATION.

Twins Blogger Bored
What no new Twins blog yet? Nope. I am just not feeling that excited about the Minnesota Twins baseball team (even if they are just half a game out of first place). I think I need to get out to the Metrodome and taste the sweet “Dome Dog” nectar so I can get inspired to creat a beautifully scripted web page for my hometown team.
Besides I am waiting for baby jesus Mauer to get back into town.

Minnesota Twins Team Cold
One week later and I am not feeling any more “FIRED UP” about the Minnesota Twins baseball team. Sure they swept the Los Angeles Angels, but after the poor appearance in Boston, I just want to cry. We have some serious pitching issues. I am not off the bandwagon yet, but I am not on either...thus the reason I have yet to unveil the new Twins blog.

Minnesota Twins off to a rocky start
No, the new Twins blog isn’t up and running yet, but neither are the baseball players on the Minnesota Twins team. Last night was a real embarrassment and the 4-6 record isn’t much to be proud of either. I know all the baseball enthusiasts out there are telling me to settle down, it’s early, but it’s hard to catch Twins Fever when the team is cold.

My favorite piece is their celebrity look-a-like bit with Joe Mauer:
Young Joe Maurer bears an uncanny resemblance to Tony Manero (John Travolta, Saturday Night Fever). Maybe it's in the eyes, I think it is in the ass dimpled chin.

New Minnesota Twins Blog
My new Minnesota Twins blog isn't ready to roll yet (surprise, surprise) . . . but by the looks of things last night the Twins aren't ready to roll yet either.

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!
