The Minnesota Twins are moving...but not in the way many of us hot-stovers, sitting on the edge of our seats, wish they should -- making a totally exciting and deep-into-playoff  team to win games.

But maybe being anxious is the fault of the fan. As the trucks pull up to the Metrodome, loaded with the bats and balls and compters and office boards full of player names...we can only wait until the holiday season passes and the real action happens in Twinsville -- like getting a second or third baseman, fortifying the bench, and maybe -- just maybe -- exploring another arm for the rotation.

We have seen the delightful commercial and can only imagine during the cold winter Joe Nathan sitting in the bullpen waiting for the season to begin and Denard Span in centerfield throwing snowballs to keep his arm in shape while Tom Kelly reclines in a heated alcove overlooking the field while checking our racing cards via the internet for his Florida ponies.

But I dream of the Twins leaving somethings behind, unearthed, perhaps, for that last Metrodome event -- Twinsfest.

Suddenly discovering, perchance, that Little Nicky Punto was accidently locked in some players valuable locker at the end of the season and the Twins now do need a second baseman, or a cheaper utility infielder.

Opening the freezer and discovering that Francisco Liriano's iced arm is still wrapped in there next to popcicles.

Discovering that Delmon Young's personal bats were actually used to make a pallet which holds the monstrosity that used to be the Metrodome pitcher's mound.

And the problems of the new Target field. Like the lockeroom only having stalls for five starting pitchers and the Twins have eight that want a space.

That Mike Redmond has made the new swimming pool his future summer home rather than look for a job with another team.

The new train from the burbs brings in lots of fans, but refuses to take them home at night and the field becomes a tent city.

Fans have decided to pull up chairs in the upper level offices of the IDS center for a view of the game, rather than pay those prices for third (or is it fourth) tier seats.

The players discover during opening week that they get snowed on, but the fans remain dry and warm in their new Twins jerseys.

And a ball is hit to centerfield and Carlos Gomez is no where to be seen and it drops in for a hit!
