April 2, 201412 yr Monday. :irked: We had this problem with you last year. Not knowing who we're playing or when we're playing. Always unprepared.
April 2, 201412 yr Sorry, skimmed that. How in the world did you end up liking the Twins? Were you a fan of the Kirby Puckett, Frank "sweet music" Viola, and Hrbek era? Dad's whole family is from Minnesota. We used to go up there for summers. The first major league game I ever went to was between the Twins and the White Sox in the Metrodome. I kid you not: Kent Hrbek walk-off home run. Loved guys like Kirby Puckett and Chuck Knoblauch as a kid. Was heartbroken when Chuck was traded to the Yankees. Exhibit A of how every kid who grows up a fan of an American League team eventually grows up to DESPISE the Yankees: eventually a player you really like will leave your team and go play for the Yankees. That player will then be twice the player he ever was for your team. He will then be on a Yankees team that sweeps your team out of the playoffs. Turns out I can say that about just about anyone who's ever worn a Twins uniform and gone on to play for any other team. David Ortiz... come on down. As I got older, I held onto the Twins but started watching a lot of Reds games since them, the Cubs and the Braves were the teams always on TV in Louisville and I sure as heck wasn't going to like the Cubs or the Braves. Once mlb.tv came out, I started buying season packages and it really renewed my love of the Twins. Still watch both them and the Reds all the time.

April 2, 201412 yr Rain going to be a problem getting this one in? Forecast isn't looking good, which makes for an unpleased MJ. Lots of tickets already sold for this one too.
April 2, 201412 yr Was hoping we'd see Tucker make his major league debut tonight, maybe tomorrow?He is scheduled for tomorrow.
April 3, 201412 yr 1. If this game starts I don't think it'll be until 930. That's without additional rain which I think is coming. 2. This cup of coffee show is pretty neat. 3. Am I still the hitting coach? If so, I have a lot of work to do... 4. Rain sucks.
