A Mish Mash of Thoughts

–Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

–Less than three weeks until Opening Day.  Yay!

–Joe Crede went 3 for 3 yesterday with a two-run homer.  If he keeps that up, we at Twins Sisters might forget that he ever played for the evil White Sox. 

–Color me a bright, shamrock jealous green.  Our dad called me from the house he and Mom are renting in Tucson this month.  “Guess who we live next door to?”  Well, gee, I give up, who?  Turns out their neighbor is Clint Barmes, who plays SS for the Colorado Rockies.  Dang!  I didn’t know who he was, but what the heck?  The folks move to Arizona for a month and their next door neighbor is a Major League ball player?  He might even give them tickets to a Cactus League spring training game.  Omg, those lucky bums!

–It would be super excellent if Opening Day at Target Field could be as warm, sunny and beautiful as yesterday was. 

–Becca and I watched some of the game that was on TV on Sunday.  It was so great to see the guys on TV again!

–We both gasped when we saw Glen Perkins get hit in the leg by that broken bat.  Ok, totally irrational, but AS IF we need another reason to detest the Yankees, they have to try and take out one of our starting pitchers before the season even starts? 

–Nick Blackburn has a full beard now.  It’s nice, as far as beards go, but I hope he shaves it off before opening day.  It covers up far, far too much of his face.

–I was going to take a day off from work to go the noon game on April 9th, but I don’t need to anymore. You see, I worked in the housing industry, and apparently the whole country is in the middle of a housing crisis the likes of which the world has never seen, so they sent me on a permanent vacation on Friday.  Nuts.  I’m torn.  I didn’t have much work to do anymore.  The work I did have to do I hated…it was mind-numbing and annoying.  I won’t really miss the job, but my ego still feels a little bruised.  I’ll spend more time with Twins Kid, clean my house like it hasn’t been cleaned in years, go see a movie here and there, and enjoy spring, which of course includes baseball!  Eventually I’ll look for another job, but not yet. 

–Enjoy a virtual green beer, on me.  Don’t say I never did anything for you! 

–Tricia–

p.s.  I GIVE UP.  I can’t figure out why I can’t get the font the same for the whole entry, and it’s making me crabbier than it’s worth, so I guess the mish-mashed font will just have to reflect my mish-mashed thoughts. 

p.s.s. If you leave a comment, it won’t show up right away.  It’s not because we don’t like you anymore.  We got big time spammed, so from now on we have to approve comments before they’ll show up on the entries.  Don’t let that disrupt your lives too much.
