Prediction Contest
Posted by SBG on Tuesday, March 29th, 2005 at 10:35 pm
I have a couple more bloggers who have sent in their picks. I'll update them and republish the list this weekend. If any readers want to take a stab at it, you are more than welcome. Send in your picks and I'll publish and give recognition to the best selections.
I am going to have another contest coming up as soon as the season starts. I will announce that contest right after opening day. The contest will be open to all readers and will include two tickets to a Twins game as the grand prize (assuming you beat SBG). Be ready to enter.
Thanks to all the Twins bloggers who participated in the contest. For those of you who are late, get your entries in. You don't want to be left out in the cold.
The blogosphere is exploding. Every day it seems that a new Twins blogger starts up. I say, the more the merrier. I try to read what everyone has to say. Sometimes, I don't get to everyone everyday (like now when I have been working late quite a bit). But, I try to keep up. There's a lot of good work out there. Then, there are SBG's brothers. Both of them have started blogs. Their blogs are primarily aimed at family members, and I find them quite funny. I don't know if you will, but here they are: Putzer's Truth and Natron's World. Deep thoughts and stories of courage are highlighted at these fine two blogs. Or something. I myself am waiting for Butch's Blog, the story of a Harley-riding retiree. Who's with me?
Speaking of Butch, I was talking to him tonight and he said, "I suppose you are excited for opening day. Are you going?" And I thought, no, I'm not going. I've never gone to opening day. Hmmm. Maybe I should go. I expect to see about 20 or so games in person this year. If you will see more than that, add a comment and tell me how many you'll see.
I mentioned a few times in the last couple of weeks that I was through with spring training. Frightwig mentioned on his blog that I was bored with it all. Maybe yes. But, all of a sudden, I've started to get interested again. How about Terry Tiffee and Jason Bartlett making the team. Could Tiffee start a few games at 3B? And mooooooooooove Cuddyer to 2B. I think this could happen. Maybe I've just gotten too optimistic. And how about if the Twins just cut Castro. Punto and Restovich. Maybe Castro can get hurt. Something.
I mentioned Frightwig. The guy has a very good blog. I like it alot. Be sure to check him out. He's writing some very insightful stuff over on his page. I'll be reading him and maybe even commenting on some of his stuff. He talked about Gardy and the four catchers comment the other day. He's right. Gardy, if you don't want to talk about Mauer's knee every day, then don't think out loud that you are going to carry four catchers on the roster.
As usual, I will have Pepper! on Friday. This week, you will be sure to want to check in. I've had some heavyweights in the Twins blogging community weigh in at Pepper!, but none of them are as big as this week's player. You will NOT WANT TO MISS THIS. Plus, in an effort to raise a little money, I'm going to start a new feature on Friday, something I'm going to call SBG Sales. I know that sounds less than appealing, but I think you will appreciate my idea.
Carry on.

Yo SBG, Maybe I should start a blog for retired Harley riders. Don't know if the stories of Harley riders would be a family type blog but can tell you this it would be interesting. But then again the type of riders I like are all family people who just happen to love traveling on two wheels and enjoying the feel of the wind and the sound of a fine machine. Maybe you can help me get started?? Got to keep up with my boys.
Hey, I just ran accross this site, has articles for all the professional teams, just thought I'd share.
