Where have the TWINS gone????

Well, sorry guys I haven't been around much in the last month to blog. I have been watching the Twins though. I don't try to miss a game unless Im really busy doing something and then I usually catch the highlights on ESPN. I guess alot has happened since I last blogged. The White Sox are creeping up on us in the Central division when 3 weeks ago they were 8 1/2 games behind and practictly left for dead. An important series with Detriot is coming the next three days and if we loose, we loose being in first place in the Central Division which we have held since the season started. We are now a half game ahead of Detriot and the White sox are only 1 1/2 games back.

Interleague play is supposed to be our friend. We have always done well against NL teams but I guess this yr was just not our year and we ended up 8-10 which is no good if we want to win the Central Division. I dont understand why we have to play all the good teams in the NL but the Tigers get to play all the crappy teams that we could actually beat. We had to play Milwaukee, Atlanta, Colorado, Philly and the New York Mets. Pretty much all of those teams are good and the New York Mets are playing some awesome baseball right now and are one of the hottest teams in baseball right now.

Playing the Mets is hard for me because they are pretty much my other favorite team which is good cause we would only have two chances to play them, in interleague play and then in the World Series. I wish we would have played better this weekend against them but I guess it doesnt always go our way.

I do miss JJ Hardy these days and hope he gets better cause im going to some TWINS games and I would like to see him. The infield misses him and we need him back asap. I would love it if the Twins got Joe Crede back too, then I would be in heaven.

I guess I probably have said to much this time. Well good luck to the TWINS this week and hope we can beat up on Detriot and Tampa Bay during our 7 game homestand before we head away from Target Field for 6 games before the All-star break. Hopefully I will be attending a few games before the all star break, Im going on thurs for sure and hopefully against Tampa Bay too.
