I really have to say that I’m so spoiled being here in the Twin Cities… I get to watch most of my yearly baseball on TV. For all of you who live with your baseball on the radio all the time? I feel for you. I don’t HATE it but I gotta say that I feel so.. disenfranchised by listening to the game but not being able to really see what’s going on to form my own opinion. It does make me cautious about coming to ANY conclusions with confidence. I just feel like I need to see it with my own eyes. Considering that there are only 5 games being televised this spring (does anyone else think that this is less than last year?)
At any rate, we’ll see it when we see it and until then, I’m glad for the radio.

Another win for the Twins feels pretty good! Blackburn looked great out there in his second start so I’m feeling pretty good about the progress of our returning starters – except for Liriano and it’s just too early to make any solid conclusions yet. Of course, I’m a positive person by nature so I think 3 hitless innings and 2 K’s is solid enough for me right now. It was fun to hear Parmelee go long even if he got all KO’s in his other AB’s. All in all, days like today make me look forward to the season even more.
There was only a handful the last few years too.
OK I’m kinda rusty at this gameday stuff. I was going to suggest we put the chat up today, but I honestly can’t remember how to do it. Babs, if you’re around, remind me where to find the code for it and I’ll do it.
I guess I’m so used to it. It’s just like the old days before the internets and mlb.tv. Seriously years and years I only got to see the Twins when they played the Royals and the WSox. What I’m really struggling with is not being able to see my College BB game on TV tonight. You think the Big 12 is going to televise Colorado/NU this year? Bwahahaha.
JC….hahahaha. Sorry, I kid because I care.
And sadly, I can relate. :/
