It's Twins Time!

I feel like that stupid little brat in the Disney commercial, "I'm tew excited tew sweep."

That poor kid is destined to become the next Danny Bonaduce (see The Partridge Family), Lord save his soul.

Anyway, my heart is pumped with emotion, and ready to go on the start of a successful new season; my head, unfortunately feels otherwise.

For 3 years in a row, the Twins won the AL Central (2002-04), last year they fell apart.

They were right on the doorstep of the Series, just knocking to get in, but always bested by the big money teams.

The pitching has been stalwart throughout, but the defense and the bats have become liabilities.

Tom Kelly prized defense, Gardy wants bats, so he accepts an inferior defense to get it.

The problem is, WE HAVE NO BATS!!!!!!!!!!!

Jason Bartlett can't field, nor can he hit anymore.

Justin Morneau can’t field, nor can he hit anymore, once teams realized he can't hit a curveball, that's all he sees. I hope he's grown this year.

Batista can’t field, and can’t hit anymore, but he can still eat. That’s a welcome comfort.

Everyday every way Jacque Jones is gone, but oh, wait Rueben Sierra is here. I can’t explain how shocked I am that he’s injured…again.

That said, I take Luis Castillo over Luis Rivas any day. A Proven veteran over a proven head case is a no-brainer.

Right field, who knows?

Most of us think Kubel is the Cadillac of the group, but my friend Hawk is a Ford man. So we’ll see…

The one thing I will never understand about Carl Pohlad is this: His beloved wife and Twins fan Eloise is gone, and he’s got more money than most Countries in this world, what is he waiting for?

Buy a Team ala Steinbrenner.

Win today, you may be gone tomorrow.

Carl saved this team once, please do it again.
