Whenever I’m headed to a new baseball park like I was last week when I visited Dallas, I try to think of all the different stadia I’ve visited.  So I put down this list purely for my own benefit:     AL West Los Angeles – October 2009 – attended Yankees/Angels playoff ALCS game 5 OaklandContinue reading “Stadia”

  The American League Most Valuable Player was announced yesterday, and the winner was Dustin Pedroia.  For the second time in 3 years, it should have been Joe Mauer.  This time he finished 4th instead of 6th in 2006, so I suppose that’s progress.  Still, it’s frustrating that voters (even local ones) overlook Mauer whenContinue reading “Mauer = MVP”

I’d like to blame by entry dry spell on the Twins, and that would be half right.  The new job and the fact the Twins have been in the hunt have kept me either furiously typing email or a little more glued to the TV than normal.  I typically watch an inning here and thereContinue reading “The Annual End of the Twins Year Entry”

Everyone’s been asking for my expert analysis on the Twins moves so far this offseason, and since I aim to please, here goes:   Losing Hunter to the Angels – the Angels overpaid in terms of years and dollars per year, so I can’t feel bad about this.  I would have been willing to goContinue reading “Twins Offseason Moves”

Terry Ryan, GM of the Twins, is a frequent reader of my blog, and looks to me for advice on what he should do during each offseason.  To fulfill this request, I like to put together what I would do if I were running the Twins next year.  I’m only doing this for Terry’s benefit, sinceContinue reading “Minnesota Twins in 2008”

I hosted 11 other guys today for our fantasy baseball draft – usually one of the most anticipated days of the year.  The draft went pretty well with no major fights, nothing was broken in the house, and I think we finished in record time.    I’m pretty happy with my team – overall IContinue reading “Fantasy Baseball Draft”

I can’t believe I’ve gone this long without blogging more about the Minnesota Twins since I’m such an obsessed fan.  I would say I know more about the Twins that practically anyone, but there are so many people blogging about the Twins now and they seem to know which Class A pitcher has the bestContinue reading “MVP”
