Mustard Stains

Thank you. Thank you. No, really, thank YOU.

I'm happy to be here, and so it this gentleman:

Never under estimate the importance of the cheese cup. Seriously.

Anyways, with the All-Star break over and done with - Josh Hamilton won the homerun derby AND the All-Star game, right? - we can finally move onto the rest of the season. We find our beloved Twins only 1.5 games behind the hated White Sox for first place in the Central Division. It's always nice to have our team relevant throughout the year - I don't tire of hearing Peter Gammons gloat about our little Twinsies and how the Baby Jesus's swing is the best thing since Ted. Are they going to make the playoffs? Maybe. Win a World Series? Probably not, but who cares!? After losing Torii and Johan everyone counted us out til 2010. Gomez wasn't supposed to do anything productive, except eat Skittles and give Gardy a heart attack. Casilla wasn't supposed to be in baseball. But here we are, with two little psychos tearing it up on a nightly basis, making it very fun and exciting to watch the Twins play. Hopefully the remainder of this season will provide a very solid starting ground for this here Twins blog.

Worst case scenario, I guess, would be a lot of talk of fat players and their respective eating/success problems.

"Eat Hog!"

Er, I mean "Play Ball!"

I like how you used "skittles" as a tag. I can't wait to see the background of this blog.
