PrintFrom all of us here at Twinkie Town, a happy new year to everybody!
Be safe. Get a cab. All that stuff. But for tonight, I will leave you with my ten New Year's...well, not so much resolutions as much as wishes.
- Sign Joe Mauer. I feel like this pretty much speaks for itself.
- Get people to realize that playing baseball outdoors in Minnesota does not equal the end of the civilized world. If you can play outdoor baseball in April in Philadelphia (53.1 F), Chicago (47.8), Detroit (48.1), Cleveland (47.6)...hell, even Boston (48.3) or New York (52.5) or Pittsburgh (49.9)...then you can play outdoor baseball in Minnesota (46.6). I don't mind if you don't want to go. But I will. It's just a couple of degrees, people. Suck it up.
- Find a way to promote Jason Kubel's beard as it's own category of sentient life.
- Make more Star Trek references in my posts.
- Do not, I repeat, do NOT incur the wrath of Jon Rauch. He'll shank you.
- Get Twinkie Town to pick up 100,000 visits in a month. An achieveable target considering how we've done the last couple of years.
- Shave Nick Punto's head every time he dives into first base or fails to lay down a bunt.
- Take down my Christmas tree before April.
- Twins win the World Series in 2010.
- Stop thinking of Ron Gardenhire everytime I eat KFC. Which is really only about once a year anyway.

Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor, not a commenter.
You were a daydreamer, a sass-mouth, and, not infrequently, a bit of a gigglepuss. Somehow I doubt twenty years of amphetamines and failure have done anything to improve that.

mmmmmmm, hob goblin. I'm hungry already.

I'd bet a monkey on it.

Outdoor baseball.....
If Coors Field in Denver is outdoors, then we can play outdoor ball too. and Mind you, Colorado is a lot colder in April and October than it is in any of the cities you mention.
The Twins will get used to it fine
I’m not sure if as many fans will want to show up in the cold though. We’ll see.

They made the seats extra wide in Target Field [er, wider at least]
so we can squish in them in snow pants and down jackets. It will be done. :)

I started my New Year off by jumping into lake minnetonka.
Hopefully my act of heroism (stupidity) will inspire Bill Smith and Joe Mauer to get an agreement soon. And for Adrian Beltre to accept a 3-year, league minimum contract.

That's crazy.
But if it gets a Mauer deal done quicker…maybe you should do it again. Just for good measure.
