Game 158 Thread of Optimism
Yes, we're down 7-2. Yes, this game could be the end of our season. Yes, it's sad and heartbreaking.
And the positives: you're watching Joe Mauer play baseball. He'll be MVP, and win another Batting Title. Ummm...Pavano, at one point, sent down 11 in a row. Hey, guys, I'm trying here, ok?
Your lineups are:
Twins
Denard Span, CF
Orlando Cabrera, SS
Joe Mauer, C
Jason Kubel, RF
Michael Cuddyer, 1B
Delmon Young, LF
Jose Morales, DH
Matt Tolbert, 3B
Nick Punto, 2B
Tigers...um, I don't care enough to find it again. You know...the funny shaped head guy, the one that keeps screwing us over, and Miggy. Damn them all.
OPTIMISM!!!

Hockey starts this weekend and Favre has shown magic….and the Wolves look like they are ready to turn it around.
It will be an interesting off season for the Twins and I think we have a better chance next year with the Indians at the bottom, The Royals being the Royals and The Sox in a downward spiral.

I think I know why we lost tonight - message mixup

I bought "For Love of the Game" on DVD a few weeks ago,
but I’m not going to watch it because I don’t want to root for the Tigers.
it's not the "real" Tigers
I think it’s ok to watch.

for fetch9 in North Dakota,
isn’t it tough to find women who haven’t wrestled the combine?

you could just read the shirt to them
in the language of sheep love that apparently you speak fluently…

Let’s win tomorrow just for revenge!
