I was unable to listen to the game tonight because my real life interfered with my Twins duties, so this is a box-score determined H.O.W. And, having looked at the box score I have to say that it was nice to see production from the short stop position. I’m not one of the [...]

I think I might have figured out why yesterday’s game seemed so boring. It was the same reason tonight’s game seemed kind of boring. John Gordon wasn’t doing the play-by-play. I’m hoping that he’s just taking a couple days off and isn’t in ill health or anything. If he is, could [...]

Is there any doubt?

Justin Morneau has always been an advocate for the addition of Christmas trees in the Metrodome.

Did anyone else feel like today’s game took forever? It was only a three hour game but it just seemed to drag. I don’t think it was just because the Twins were losing, it just seemed like a really dull night of baseball. I even fell asleep.
That might have had more to [...]

Well it’s hard to argue with that. It’s too bad Slowey didn’t get the shut-out. It was still an awesome pitching performance though. We’ve been picking a lot of pitchers here lately, but they’ve been dominating. Kubel gets a strong second place finish for his two homers, but Kevin Slowey is tonight’s Hero Of the [...]

Just the other day Mrs. DCTF and I were reminiscing about the good ol’ days, when, once every five days, we could practically tally the win before the game was played.
“I miss Johan,” she said.“Me too.”“I miss all the K’s.”“And all the bitches sitting down.”“And those broad shoulders,” she said, her voice drifting off into [...]

Off days are always a little disappointing, but after today… ugh, I’m looking forward to the fact that the Twins won’t be crushed on Thursday.
I hate the Red Sox. I hate them more than I hate any other baseball team. Our division rivals are hated, but only because of my love for the [...]

The man can bake.
Season total: Crede 2, Casilla 1, Kubel 1, Morneau 1, Slowey 1

We’ve utilized the first rule of Hero of the Win twice already (walk off hits). There is a second rule to assigning the Hero of the Win and tonight that comes into play.
The second rule is that when the team has been lacking in one area and a player comes through with a much [...]

Once upon a time yours truly played Little League baseball. I still have vivid memories of a multi-city tournament that we played in. Young DCTF’s team did pretty well, but didn’t make the championship game. One of the other teams from DCTF’s city did make the final – The Angels – and in a show [...]
