Twins Clinch!

I haven’t written an entry since last October. Been way too busy. Due to have my first child in early December, so that’s consumed most of my time this year, although I haven’t missed watching my Twins play!

Even though I was exhausted from lack of sleep and heartburn (dang kid), I still managed to stay awake long enough to watch the Twins beat Cleveland in a fantastic comeback win and then watch the White Sox get pummeled by Oakland. Watching that clubhouse celebration for the sixth time in nine years was awesome. OK, hormones may have had something to do with it, but when I watch a team who is consistently plagued with injuries (why yes, we did do this without the help of Morneau, thank you very much!) clinch another division title, it makes me a little teary eyed!

Now to actually make it to the World Series. That would really make the opening of Target Field this year one to remember.

And speaking of Target Field, if you ever get the chance to see a game there, do it! It’s a beautiful ballpark. I was two years old when they tore down Met Stadium and opened the Metrodome, so I’ve never had the privilege of watching outdoor baseball. I only got there once this year (too busy saving for baby and the impending hospital bills), but man, I can’t wait to go back. And next year, there will be a very big, albeit very small statured Twins fan accompanying me. I can’t wait for my new daughter to enjoy baseball in the best ballpark in the world!
