Twins Prepare To Offer Blake Contract; Upset, Ubes, Gleeman, All Other Fans, Too.

Nov 15th, 2008 | By FirstTimeLongTime | Category: Miscellaneous

From mlb.com
"We received a framework of an offer from the Twins this morning, discussing concepts and certain ranges and things like that," McDowell said. "We agreed that we would talk some more, and that's where we are with them."
Minnesota general manager Bill Smith declined comment, relaying his preference to not discuss any potential ongoing dialogue [...]



Obit Part I

It took me 5 months and 25 days to give myself completely to the Minnesota Twins this year. In August, during a game log I wrote
How do you describe this season to someone who is not a Twins fan? Before this season started the pundits decreed "A rebuilding year for the Twins!" and I [...]

The roller coaster ride continues. After Thursday nights exhilarating victory the Twins put up a total stinker last night. As per the season it seems.
As of this morning the Twins pitching staff has already given up 33 home runs this month. To put that in perspective, the only month [...]



Game 148: Minnesota @ O’s

Here is to hoping the Marlo isn't upset about how we disrespected Baltimore in game one.



Games 147 & 148: Minnesota @ B-more

Sep 13th, 2008 | By FirstTimeLongTime | Category: 2008 Twins Game Logs, FirstTimelongTime, Guest Writers

After yesterdays rain out we are playing a "twin" bill today.  I wasn't sure if we were still going to use SBG's game log from yesterday so decided to throw an extra one in here just to be safe.
Anyway, here we are, with 16 games left in the season and the Twins are still just [...]



Game 142: Tigers @ Twins

Justin Verlander (xFIP 4.64)
Scott Baker (xFIP 4.20)
I usually try to write my game logs during the Twins Thursday night games. So I sat down in the one corner of my apartment that gets free wireless, opened up a pack of cigarettes, cracked a cold one, and cranked up the Hold Steady, while getting ready to [...]



Game 136: Minnesota at Oakland AAAA’s

Aug 30th, 2008 | By FirstTimeLongTime | Category: 2008 Twins Game Logs, FirstTimelongTime, Guest Writers

Franciso Liriano (xFIP 5.08)
Dallas Braden (xFIP 4.87)
Right now I have a giant finger splint reaching from the top my middle finger to 3/4 of the way down my palm. There are six stitches on the said finger resulting in making normal typing nearly impossible but always painful. For that reason alone, I am going to [...]



Game 129: Minnesota at LAAA

Aug 23rd, 2008 | By FirstTimeLongTime | Category: 2008 Twins Game Logs

Nick Blackburn (xFIP 4.47)
Jon Garland (xFIP 4.60)
How do you describe this season to someone who is not a Twins fan? Before this season started the pundits decreed "A rebuilding year for the Twins!" and I think it fair to say that we were all resigned to that fate—well, at least I was. We traded Johan, [...]
