TWINS PLAYOFF TICKETS?!?!

Now, the question is where do I go to get my Twins Playoff tickets? The Twins box office doesn't have any good seats available and sitting on hold forever sucks! Does any one answer the real live phone anymore? So I have resorted to using my good friend the Internet. Their are a million ticket sites out there, but I think Minnesota Twins Tickets is a really good site - they have super good prices on Playoff Home Game 1 - for example, Home Run Porch seats in a great low row (I have sat there before - oh yeah, when I was on TV!) are $129 and they don't add on any weird service fees like StubHub - another ticket broker that advertises as a fan to fan site. And if you call Minnesota Twins Tickets they answer the phone pretty quick too - that's how I found out about the no service fees.

I shopped around the net (because that’s what Minnesotans do, we are kind of frugal –dont chya know) and here are some prices I found on the low row Home Run Porch seats:

Minnesota Twins Tickets $129 each
StubHub $139
TicketsNow $140
Razorgator $154 each
TickCo $157 each

So, TWINS FANS UNITE – buy your Twins Playoff Tickets NOW and see the Twins battle for victory at the HOMERDOME!!! I did all the shoppin' work for y'all and trust me the Minnesota Twins Tickets site is totally legit - it's run by Minnesotans who love the Twins...just like me!
CLINCHED IT - HOOAH!!!

I am so excited the Twins clinched a playoff spot (I am still hoping it will be the title and not the wild card) and FINALLY got the media attention they deserve. The clinch was the headline of every 10pm newscast and it was great to see all the sports writers in the locker room getting doused with champagne. I was hoping one of the Twins would say - man, it took you guys long enough to notice how hot hot hot we are! The media attention has been pathetic up until now, but let's look ahead and said yeeeeee hawwwwwww the Twins are in the playoffs. This is truly a solid team and I am ready to see them work their homerdome magic!!!! GO TWINS!!!

I AM FAMOUS!!! I AM FAMOUS!!!

My husband, daughter and I went to the Twins game on 9/11 - mainly because my husband is a firefighter and the Twins had a great ticket deal for first responders and they did a ceremony prior to the game to honor fire/police/EMT. My husband was all dressed up in his fancy dress blues with his shiny badge and sure enough WE were on TV!!! The camera showed my husband, me and my daughter for about 10 seconds between periods. I don't think we were on the Metrodome jumbotron, but our cell phones went crazy with people calling us saying "hey I just saw you guys on TV."

My husband looked great and it was such an honor to be there to pay the respects to other fire fighters who had lost their lives on 9/11/01. The Twins even had local fire departments bring a few trucks down to the plaza before the game and Minneapolis had a giant flag stretched between two ladder trucks - it was amazing and virtually impossible not to feel patriotic. I think it was really cool that the Twins had the ceremony and took the time to honor those who serve. Thanks Twins for not forgetting!
FORGET THE WILD CARD - LET'S GO FOR THE "REAL" TITLE!!!

OK, I was so totally pumped that we were in the Wild Card race and NOW I am even more pumped we are in the Central Title Race - Wild for Wild Cards is pretty catchy, but Crazy for the Central is just as good (-: GO TWINS - I know you can win that title. This is definitely one of the best ball clubs Minnesota has had in a long time! GO TWINS!

JUSTIN MORNEAU IS SOOOOO SWEET!!!

Ok, I already had a super duper huge crush on Justin Morneau for the following reasons:

1. He's rather attractive - Ok, he's hot

2. He know how to work his bat - oh baby!

3. He's from Canada - so are my great grandparents

4. Word on the Street is he's a GREAT Kisser - xoxoxo

5. The fantasies of me and him and his roommate (Joe Mauer) together are just too much


Now just to cement my crush even further, my boss and his son went to the game the other night and Justin threw my boss's son a baseball. THAT IS SO SWEET!!!! Justin totally deserves MVP - I think there should be a grass roots effort starting very very soon!!!!
IS ANYONE HOME?????

I think the Twins have left the building - what is the deal? They can't beat the Royals? It is absolutely ridiculous. The pitching has been pretty good, but there is NO WAY to win a game if you don't score a few runs and swing the darn bats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thouhgt maybe the losing streak is a punishment from God because I have not been faithful to my committment to write in this blog . . . Please, Lord, forgive me and don't take my lack of committment and lazy tendacies out on my beloved Twins. Let them win tonight!!! Santana is on the mound so it's almost a sure thing, but I thought winning the Royals series would be a sure thing . . . I thought winning at the Dome would be a sure thing . . . Please send the PLAYERS HOME and WIN TWINS!!!!

WILD ABOUT WILD CARDS

I am still totally feeling the Wild Card thing - the Twins pulled off another stellar win last night against the Indians after Michael Cuddyer smacked the ball over the fence (again, this year to save the Twins butts). The hit came just when I thought the chips were down, but the Twins managed to pull another big "W" out of the dome. HOOYAH!!!

I know the Wild Card race is really tight, but I am still totally feeling like I will be buying a Twins Wild Card Championship t-shirt this year. The odds are up in the air, but if the Twins can keep the Dome magic alive and win a few on the road - the next month and half could be super duper fun!

Go Twins!
