Twins lose to Cleveland Indians at Metrodome

I can’t believe I have to write that headline, but it’s true the Minnesota Twins got socked last night 10-1 by the Cleveland Indians in front of the Metrodome home crowd.

Twins rookie pitcher Anthony Swarzak looked terrible in the third inning. I could have hit those pitches! The Indians may be at the bottom of the American League Central, but they are still major league hitters and they showed it against the youth of Swarzak.

Carlos Gomez and Indians pitcher Cliff Lee continued to jaw at one another all night. I say if Gomez wants to get under Lee's skin he needs to get a hit and get on base and stop the jaw jacking!

Same two teams at the Dome today, I wonder what will happen. Hopefully a Twins win. Scott Baker needs a good outing. Twins vs Indians at noon at the Metrodome. Wish I didn’t have to work.

Minnesota Twins Slide, Buy Twins Tickets and Support a Rally

The Minnesota Twins continue to SLIDE down the slippery slope of loserville. Losing 6 games in a row is a definite blow to the team that was just a couple of games back from first place in the Central League standings. Now, they are over 5 games back and it isn’t looking very pretty.

I am wearing my Twins jersey today – I am calling it my Twins rally jersey in hopes of an afternoon game win in Chicago White Sox land.

I am also looking forward to the Twins returning the Homerdome on Friday hosting the Milwaukee Brewers for three games and then the Boston Red Sox for four. Get your Minnesota Twins jerseys on and head out to the Metrodome and support this team in a turn around. I see local ticket companies like Ticket King have Minnesota Twins tickets for sale. I bought reserved outfield tickets, I think they call them the home run porch, but I kept calling it the home run patio – LOL! two weeks ago for under face value from Ticket King. So keep your eyes on their Twins ticket prices, if you want to get in cheap, Ticket King can help you with Minnesota Twins Tickets – they also have some of the best seats in the entire Metrodome, but trust me those don’t come cheap.

Staying Up Late Watching Twins Baseball

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.
