All is Right with the World

Johan is pitching and that's enough to want to watch the game.



For Bartlett to Come Up…

Jun 2nd, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Minnesota Twins

I mentioned to Greet Machiner Grant last night that I'm sick of talking about Bartlett and I'm just not going to do it anymore. But, before I give up this topic completely, I'm offering you all a chance to "Finish this Sentence". Mr. FrightWig made this comment yesterday regarding the It's Wooten, No, [...]



This Bugs Me

Jun 2nd, 2006 | By SBG | Category: MLB, Stupid Stuff

At the risk of sounding like a crotchety old man, you know what bugs me? I hate it when the catcher goes to the mound to talk to the pitcher and infielders automatically walk up to the mound. I mean, the catcher might be chewing the pitcher's butt, talking pitch strategy or going [...]



Frustration

Jun 2nd, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Minnesota Twins

One of the things that I try to do when I write my blog is not to make a conscious effort not to write what other people have written about the Twins. Sometimes, I've written things that are pretty close to what other people are saying and I suppose that's unavoidable as there are [...]



I Have Been to the Mountain

Jun 2nd, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Personal

Or, at least I've been to the Summit Brewery. I went to the new ballpark celebration to visit with Shane and his Packer lovin' neighbor, Cheesehead Craig. I got a chance to meet some of Shane's readers, some of whom also read here. It was a fun event and a special thanks [...]



No Woots, It’s Tiffee

Jun 1st, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Minnesota Twins

Apparently, the Twins don't need three catchers. Is Mr. Tiffee going to play in front of Batista? Stay tuned.
Thanks to scottb07 for the tip.
I find this quite interesting. From the Reusse article this morning:
ScruFi had a conversation with his boss, Terry Ryan, on Wednesday afternoon, and expressed his preference for an extra [...]



Pass the Pretzels

Jun 1st, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Personal

I should be at the Summit Brewery Twins Ball Park Celebration around 6:00PM or maybe a little earlier. I'll be the tall guy in grey slacks and a light blue shirt with the somewhat diagonally striped dark blue tie. And the blond hair that needs a visit to Schmitty's barbershop badly. Don't [...]



Baker Demoted

Jun 1st, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Minnesota Twins

From the Strib:
Pitcher Scott Baker will go to Class AAA Rochester and catcher/first baseman Shawn Wooten is expected to take his place for the big-league club for a four-game series in Oakland.
ScruFi had a conversation with his boss, Terry Ryan, on Wednesday afternoon, and expressed his preference for an extra catcher over continuing with 12 [...]
