Another day, another embarrassing loss to the Yankees. I just want to know why it is that the Twins broadcast was showing little vignettes about Yankee Stadium last night. Do we all care about that? Are the Yankees supposed to be revered by everyone? Pffft.

For some reason, the Twins just can't seem to win in New York. Yep, the Yankees are a good team, but this laying down every year in the Bronx just isn't good. Bremer said that the Twins haven't won a series in New York since 2001. That's way too long for a [...]

What's tough to take about Sunday's game is that the Twins totally shut down the best offense in the game all weekend, outscoring them 20-3. To beat up a team like that and NOT sweep is a disappointment. Now, the Twins will have the spotlight on them as they head to New York, [...]

No one selected "Swept" in the poll on this series and I guess that makes us all smart (although, to be sure, the *CORRECT* answer was "ZOMG! I just LOVE Josh Hamilton...". I missed out on the game, but the Twins shut the Rangers out? That's fantabulous!
I'm going to try to do a [...]

The Twins get back to business tonight and I'm hopeful for the second half, even as I worry that somehow their less than stellar peripherals will catch up with them. Tonight, they start against the Rangers, the team with most runs scored -- and allowed -- in the league. They've got some serious [...]

Happy Birthday to the WGOM! It's been four years since I started what has become this site. Back then, I was studying for the Minnesota Bar Exam. This site was started as an excuse to not study. Let me assure you, if you haven't done it, that the whole bar exam [...]

I don't know if the All-Star game was particularly good, but it was long. Justin Morneau had quite the week at the festivities, and it would have been great had he put a ball in the seats and won the MVP. Oh well, he did score the winning run and between he and [...]

I posted a WGOM Headline awhile back where I talked about Top Jimmy injecting himself into a story about Matt Birk and said that's something that Rick Reilly would do. There's no sportswriter I hate more than Reilly. Detest him. Hate him. I happened to fall asleep and I missed the [...]

I happened to catch a couple of minutes of Reusse and Top Jimmy talking about Mauer and Morneau and their leadership (I thought they weren't the leader types -- oh, that was last year, heh). TJ addressed the issue of his dressing down Mauer last year, saying that he wrote about it only because [...]

My parents are in town this weekend, so I'll probably not be around all that much. Nice win Friday night. Nice to see Joe Nathan pitch after getting some work. He was pretty sharp.

Yesterday was the highest traffic the site has ever received. I figured out how to pull out more dB queries from the game logs, so they should be faster than ever. I enjoy figuring that stuff out as much as anything (now there are no queries for individual LTEs -- previously, there were [...]

Well, wasn't that Boston series fun. Things like that happen from time to time, but we'll see how the Twins respond in Detroit. It'd be nice to take it to the Motor City Kitties going into the break. Know what I mean? Also, if you haven't had the opportunity to be [...]

It appears that the Wolves will get Utah's number one pick next year in their deal with Philadelphia, not the 76ers. I would imagine that Utah will be a better team than Philly in 2008-09. But, yep, the 76ers got a whole lot better, in part because of the Timberwolves. Maybe the [...]

Well, that was a tough one to lose last night. The good news, of course, is that Scott Baker looked pretty darned good. This kid is going to be all right. Also, I have added caching, so things should be a lot faster today.

The Twins have gotten to the point where no game seems unwinnable. This team has just been flat out great to watch lately. Smiles, everyone, smiles!

The great thing about three day weekends is waking up the second day and realizing that you don't have to go to work tomorrow.

Happy Birthday, George Steinbrenner.

I couldn't sleep at all last night. Must have been the excitement I felt thinking about the possibility that Brett Favre might be playing again. No, that wasn't it. Actually, I slept just fine, thank you.

The bullpen blows one three run lead and the next night everybody's nervous (including me).

Bad loss last night.

This year is half shot.

We are streaking.

Kevin Love better be a fucking player.

The Twins OWN Greg Maddux.

Trevor Hoffman sucks.

As you were.

Don't look now, but the Twins are in this thing.

What a wonderful day for a picnic! See you at the CONVENTION!

The picnic is northeast of the main building at the Minnehaha Park. When you drive into the park, go east at the Roundabout toward the main parking lot. We'll be in that general area.

Be sure to bring your sunscreen to the Convention. (Two o'clock -- Minnehaha Falls Park)

I've often theorized that if you put a couple of guys around KG he'd get to the promised land.

Could tonight be the night that KG gets his ring? Well, probably not. They're going to have to size it and all that. But, I think this series ends tonight.

Tiger Woods goes for major #14 today. I read an article by Rick Reilly last week about how we should all pull for Phil Mickelson over Tiger. Whatever. The dude just doesn't get it. That's like rooting against Michelangelo. Reilly's a doofus, kind of like Reusse rooting against KG.

This month is half gone already.

Kobe? It's MJ. Yeah, um, that never happens if I'm playing.

The good news is that I'm not wasting a bunch of water on my lawn.

Captain Cheeseburger shuts off the run spigot.

At least we aren't playing the White Sox again.

KG is two wins from the title.

Lots of time between Games 1 and 2 in the NBA Finals. Not that the Celtics are complaining, mind you.

It was fun watching Kobe Bryant play the ball hog.

Tonight's the night. C'mon, KG!

Did I mention the SBG Convention is coming up?

Ugh! Stale coffee! Here's a new batch. (Convention, people!)

Why in the Hell haven't you committed to coming to the SBG Nation Convention yet?

Finally, KG is going to play for the title.

I weep at the loss of my favorite running gag of the year: Delmon's games played streak.

All's well that ends well. Five in the ninth and one in the tenth and Twins win.

Joe Nathan and Delmon Young are (not) BFFs.

The best part of waking up, is the WGOM in your cup

Tuesday and back at it.

A day to remember.

Saw Raiders of the Lost Ark IV last night. Harrison Ford is old.

Sorry that the coffee went stale.

My high school graduation was 25 years ago today.

The Wolves end up third in a two player draft. Who saw that coming?

The Wolves tortured us for a whole season, and now we find if they are going to get lucky. Lottery tonight.

Rockies get better when Twins come to town.

C's going to game 7, again.

Yep, we're back to .500.

This Toronto series is taking some of the luster off of that Boston thing.

Happy 3rd Anniversary to Lucy and me.

In retrospect, losing a game to the Red Sox was a little embarrassing.

That ninth run wasn't so pesky after all.

That ninth inning Friday night was mighty tasty.

Just so you know, playing great defense is another way to be a great basketball player.

Last night's game was just like the night before, except different.

Let the Seis de Mayo celebrations begin!

Through 30 games, the Twins have been a lot of fun.

How about a nice day around here, please?

A late CoC today, but better than none.

Happy May Day!

Nice win last night.

I'd like to see the Twins win a couple here.

A day off. Time to catch your breath.

I am not sure what I did wrong, but the weather gods are obviously punishing me.

More beautiful weather here in Minneapolis.

Happy Birthday, BabySBG!

Spurs making my pick of the Suns look bad.

It's Earth Day.

One down, 15 to go.

I cannot wait for the NBA playoffs!

Still some ice in my yard. (My alltime record as a homeowner is April 21, 1997.)

I still had a little ice on my yard as of yesterday.

If Morneau had listened to Big Mak and hit a grand slam instead of a two-run homer, everything would have been okay.

That was an ugly game last night.

The IRS still has not heard from me this year.

I'm verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves.

I have had at least some snow or ice on my yard continuously since some time in November.

The Kubel fever is raging throughout Twins fans.

Life is preventing me from making any meaningful contribution to this site.

Carry on.

Look for my On the Other Team feature tomorrow. Or the next day.

More Kubel!

We're looking up at the Royals, friends.

The Twins are not exactly hitting the cover off the ball yet.

Early enough for you, Rhu_Ru?

No joke, that was fun last night.
