It's almost time.  Go Rangers (keep the coke away from your manager).  Go Braves.

Joe Nathan is having Tommy John surgery.  No great closer for the twins.

That broke my heart, they have a great team this year and this may kill 'em.

Hopefully the Twins will sign Mauer. Thunbs Up

I gotta like the Twins.  Joe Nathan pitched here for the Shreveport Captains beginning his career.  Scott Baker is from Shreveport.  Nice guy.  I know his mother very well.

That's cool!!! Thunbs Up


Been a fan of both the Giants and Twins since way back when. Still have my Tony Oliva (28) and Rod Carew (33) bats. Willie Mays is still my fav though.

1st season with the new open stadium in Minn.  Made it to a few games last year in the dome, but every time I attended, they lost.  Will be cool spring/fall ball but summer is best outside.  Love to watch games in Kauffman in KC.

Is Kauffman the Royals stadium? How is it??

Never been to a game in the "dome" but I've been in the Metrodome (back in '89) if that makes sense.

My record at the new Giants stadium (Pac Bell Park - I can't keep up with all the phone company name changes since the original name) is near perfect. The only lose was when I brought my mother-in-law to a game. To this day I tease her stating that I'll never bring her again. Candlestick is where I cut my teeth watching MLB.

I was hoping to catch a Rangers game next week but I think their on the road. Their new (well not really) stadium is real nice.  A giant step up from the old one.

Correct Kauffman is the Royals.  I really like the stadium.  Been to day games and night games, equally good.

I like the Phills if they get their closer straightened out.  Their lineup rivails the Big Red Machine of the 70's.  Awsome.    Can't count out the Yanks either.  Actually I woldn't mind seeing a repeat in the world series.
