How about that?!

TEXAS RANGERS BEAT THE NEW YORK YANKESS!!! This is a celebration day in Twinsland [past by five days, but hey, who cares?]. The Rangers nonetheless defeated the Yanks. That leaves only the SF Giants in the way on their quest for their first ever World Series title. As they say... there's only two teams for me: The Minnesota Twins and whoever beats the Yanks.

Twins vs. facking yanks

As you can [hopefully] tell, I was just in a panic. Like, OMFG THE TWINS ARE PLAYING AND THE STUPID CABLE TV ISN'T COVERING THEM!?!??!!?!?!? 

So this involved a frantic search to find the MLB Playoffs on TV. I finally found them. If you care the Twins are on TBS, which is channel 46 for me. So I'm sitting here going OMFG I CANT WATCH MY TWINS PLAY? THIS IS THE WORST DAY EVER!! And then I realize that, YES I CAN! So now I'm like WHOOO HOOOOOO MY TWINKIES ARE GONNA KICK SOME YANK ARSE TONIGHT! JUST YOU WATCH!!! And all the yanks are going to have "sore muscles" and "mysterious illnesses" and royally suck and the Twins are just gonna be a facking awesome and kill them. I trust you they will. *nods*

The Blog Is Going... General!

No more sports focus (cuz I can't keep up with my Wildmen or Twinkies or Gunners or Swarmers anymore than I can keep up with my Labrador!). The American Perspective is going general! I'll be reporting from my trip (June 12th - June 27th) from various locations. You may even get lucky and get some pictures =D

So enjoy... and check out http://ramblingates.blogspot.com/ for horse-racing related rambles!

[Twins] Opening with LA Angels, 6-3 loss

If anyone dared to stay up to 11:30pm CST to watch the Twins game, I'm sure some came away sourly disappointed. Not only was our first up to bat a 1-2-3, but their first up at bat seemed to drag on forever. Or was I just in a sleepy mood last night? I fell asleep early in the game, but I don't think I was the only one finding the old Twinkies struggling. In the article published on the Minnesota Twins website, Baker, Twins get off to a rough start, the general feel of the team was rough.We shall see how the team does tonight against the Angels once more.

Gearing Up For Twins Season!

Forgetting to cover anything else due to my sudden realization that the Twins will start their regular season in less than a month and Mauer signed an 8 year, $184 million contract to stay with the Twinkies through 2011-2018! I have decided to write some player profiles on the current team, with historical blobs from 1960 to 2010. We are, after all, celebrating half a century of MBL baseball in Minnesota!
