Let's bring out our brooms!!!

It's been awhile since I have posted but I figured I better bring everyone up to date since we played the Yanks. Well, we beat them in our last game against them until we have a chance of seeing them in the playoffs. Today brings the last game of the 3 game series against Texas.


Friday we beat Texas 2-1 with our defense holding strong since we didnt really have our bats ready to play. Slowey pitches well to last deep into the game for the first time in awhile and we hold them to only 1 run. Joe Mauer has an rbi to score our first run of the game.

Saturday we decide to bring our bats with Carl Pavano pitching and win 8-3. Orlando Hudson hits a 2-run homer in the 6th inning and we continue our hitting in the 7th with 6 runs including 2 runs off a double by Delmon Young followed by a JJ Hardy single which scores two. We lead by 3.0 games going into tonights game over Detroit. We play tonight since its featured on Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN so that game doesnt start till 7:05. We then leave for a West Coast road trip for 4 at Seattle and 3 in Oakland. I will recap our West Coast Series next Sunday when we our done with the series.

Good Luck to the TWINS tonight against Texas and hope we brought out brooms!!!!

Morneau's on a HOT STREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!


He spent the last month of last season out with a back injury while watching his Minnesota Twins lose to the Yankees in the playoffs. But this year Justin Morneau is tearing up the baseball world. After being out with that experience he hopes nothing like that happens again so he has vowed to do whatever it takes to make sure it doesn't happen again.

He leads the American League with a batting average of .383 and is in the top five in most major offensive categories. He is up more then 30 points over the next leader which just happens to be teammate Joe Mauer.

It's getting HARD to breathe without # 27

It feels like day 1 million without JJ Hardy and i'm getting anxious to see him play again. Hopefully he will be back against the Skankees because we need him badly. He's probably getting bored not playing either and I miss # 27 out on the field.

It's been a crazy few days if you are a Twins fan. We won on friday 15-3, then saturday had to come back and win in 12 inning 8-7 and today we didn't fair so well and lost 4-3 after leaving the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning. Now we start a three game series on tuesday against the Skankees. Let's bring it and show how domiant we are at the new Target Field.

Well, I have always wondered how the boys pick their music to come up to bat. Well thanks to a blog I need not wonder anymore. I knew Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau's music because its not hard to know what they like but some I did not know. Im glad JJ Hardy is on our team now, he even likes the same music as me. He has Zac Brown Band's chicken fried as his home plate music, loves it.

Well, don't have much more to say tonight but I will be writing after the series at Target Field against the Skankees. Hope # 27 joins the team by then, I sure miss his smile out there!!!
