Twins 5, Athletics 4

Geez…Oakland’s uniforms are UGLY!  Those white shoes in particular…to me they looked more like ugly dress shoes to go with a tux than cleats.  

What is up with their outfielders?  I know Go Go made an error in CF last night, but that can happen to anyone once in a while.  The Oakland outfielders, though seemed lost.  “Hey..let’s let this lazy fly ball to left field drop in for a hit!”  “Ok, I don’t feel like catching it, fine with me!” 

Someone needs to tell Go Go not to swing at everything.  I would’ve known better than to swing at some of those pitches.  I do believe he swings because he just wants to hit the ball so much he can’t stand it.  I hope someone tells him not to be so hacktastic tonight.  You know, tell him if he settles down he might get a pitch he can hit.  And thus ends my career as a hitting coach.

Why don’t people in Oakland go to ball games?  How many people were in that stadium last night, 12 or 13?
Maybe it was just because of the rain.  Maybe people go across the Bay to see the Giants play instead.  I don’t know…maybe I should just stop the speculation because it’s lame & going nowhere. 

I was glad to see Craig Monroe have such a good game last night.  I’ve liked him ever since Twins Kid and I got our picture taken with him at Twins Fest.  He was so nice to my kid.  Asked him his name, shook his hand, and it was so sincere, not like he was really thinking, “UGH!  I can’t believe I’m sitting here getting my picture taken with this little brat!”

I think I have pretty much fully recovered from my bout with the flu.  Yuck.  I’ll go to work tomorrow and if I don’t have relapse there, I guess that means I’m cured!  It’s nice to feel human again.

This entry from Alright Hamilton! is pretty dang funny. 

I have a hankering to pull use my picture of a broom, so let’s hope the Twins can sweep those boys with the ugly uniforms.  Hmm…maybe I shouldn’t have wished that, because my baseball wishes seldom come true.  Oh well, too late now!
