Minnesota Twins

I love my Twins but tonight made me sad… We had the high score in «at the plate»… The winning image for «at the plate» showed single game tickets… Walked for 15 minutes and missed 2 innings for… A free DQ cake coupon… Misleading advertising. I still would have played but wouldn’t have wasted my time to get the prize if I knew it was a cake.

My first Twins Game in Minneapolis… Overall experience was amazing! ! We had awesome dugout seats. Super close to the players. Super blast. Plus with our seats we had our own food shop section. It was perfect. Love VIP treatment.

I like the Twins. For the game we attended, they played very well. In fact the game wasn’t even close.

This ball park is as beautiful as it looks on TV; green grass, clean seats, fantastic foods and a great view of the Twin Cities. If you’re driving, you’ll have to park a few blocks away in make-​shift parking that usually starts at $ 8.00 and up but for me, well I just live a few blocks away so I can walk. The gate is welcoming and you walk right in to view the field. The average decent ticket is about $ 15.00 and therefore I buy the ticket and find my seats.
I decided in the second inning I wanted some of the delicious nachos and a beer — that set me back about $ 18.00 and add a chocolate cup cake topped with a TWINS iced décor and I had already spent over $ 50.00
The game was great; good music and crowd interaction and overall, a great place to catch a game.

Great place to hang out with Family and friends and enjoy the ball game! Drinks are not cheap!

We are almost rebuilt from last year’s disaster. We need starting pitching, and we’re contenders. Like the new pick-​up in Willingham, Carroll, and Doumit. Some young guys are playing great, too.
Target Field is a beautiful ballpark. If you’ve ever seen a game at the Metrodome, do yourself a favor and catch a game at Target Field. I met Tony friggin’ Oliva today having some ice cream on the concourse during the game. Where else does that happen?
Go Twins!

Although the Twins are off to a very slow start this year, last night’s game might be the table turner… Liriano threw a no hitter last night in the Twins’ 1 – 0 victory over the White Sox!
Based on my conversations with other Twins fans, we think the Twins just needed some spring weather to get moving. 70 degree weather, here we come!

The ticket sales are way up this year for the Twins home games, and if you’ve been to the Target Field you’d understand why. A new and improved and one of the most «green» ball fields around — this field is beautiful. Totally worth going to a game just to see the field. The food’s not bad either.

Beautiful baseball field.

The Twins burst through every so often to win a World Series or at least get in the playoffs and always have fascinating teams with character players. You can start with Harmon Killebrew and Tony Oliva right up to today with Justin Morneau and Joe Mauer.
Glad they bagged the Metrodome even though of all domes it was the funkiest (the apartments. well looked like apartos those stacked seats in left over the baggie fence and the plexiglass fence in right) with the loudest fans and the whole wind tunnel controversy you just have to love.
I’m really looking forward to hitting the Twin Cities to catch a game at the new outdoor ballpark. Win Twins!

Seriously I do love this team that’s why the rant below exists. You don’t get pissed off like that at something you don’t care about immensely. I do tend to get overly nostalgic about the Twins. This happens when you grow up in MN and your dad plays the games on the radio all the time from the beginning of your first memories.
I’m not going to go into a big dissertation on why I left that 5 star out. If your a Twins die hard fan you can probably insert your own annoyance at them and get the gist of it. It is going to f%&king RULE to FINALLY see them on a REAL BASEBALL FIELD and not in some ersatz plasticine bubble even if it’s 27 degrees in April and 98 in July.

A new wind’s blowing for the Minnesota Twins… and, no, not from the trash incinerator next to Target Field.
We’re turning a page in Twins history with the opening of an outdoor stadium. And, most importantly, we’ve started spending the kind of cash needed to elevate the Twins from a top-​notch, small ball team into a perennial contender. Still crazy to think they dropped 184 million on Mauer. Definitely deserved, but this wouldn’t have happened under the Teflon Sky.
Only a couple more weeks till the big day. If anyone’s got a ticket…

MLB Network, reviewing the decade of the 90s, named the Minnesota Twins as the Franchise of the Decade. «They do things the right way and nearly always end up in the playoff mix.»
Jim Caple (ESPN, 12 Jan 2010) says nearly the same thing, in his review of the Twins organization. «The Twins are baseball’s real Moneyball team. No one has done more with less.»
Finally in 2010 the total product matches the quality of the organization. A family spends $ 60-​$ 80 and no more Domeball, but real baseball on a real field.
Can’t get much better.

Great game guys!
And let’s not forget to thank Jim Leyland for leaving Fernando Rodney on the mound for so long.
PS–
Hey Jim,
Is he still on the mound or did he make the flight home?

The Minnesota Twins ARE Major League Baseball. I’m a huge fan of these boys. Even through their mid 90’s slump. These guys give it their all every time they get on the field. This season we had 4 batters hit 90+RBIs, the American League batting champ (and possible MVP), and some of the best fielding in the game. Hats off to: Cabrera, Mauer, Pavano, Punto, Gomez, Casilla, Cuddyer, Kubel, Nathan, Baker, Harris, Span, Young, Morneau, and the rest of the franchise for a stunning victory over Detroit tonight to clinch the Central Division title!!! Best of luck to them in the post-​season, and many more to come!!! GO TWINS!!!

The Team that Plays the Game the Right Way. I am first and foremost a Cubs fan, but when I moved here 3 years ago I figured I may as well adopt the AL team representing my new city. Over time watching these guys play, I fell in love with them. They play the game the right way and go about their business with dignity, professionalism, and vigor. The only thing that would make this team better would be a nice outdoor stadium – oh wait, we get that next year!
Here as I watch the Twins play a final regular season playoff game, in extra innings, for the 2009 AL Central Division Title, against a team with $ 50 million more payroll, all I can say is:
GO TWINS!

There may still be snow on the ground, but my heart is warm with thoughts of baseball filled afternoons in this, our last season in the metrodome.
My dear momma started taking me to Twins games when we lived on the West Bank when I was about knee high. There have been seasons of joy, and seasons of pain. There have been foam fingers, rally monkeys, and most of all there have been lots and lots of dome dogs. nom nom nom
Baseball is a great date as long as your date-​ee is not lame. It’s cheap (well, for shitty seats… but those are still fun!) You get to talk, but don’t HAVE to talk. And if she really sucks, you can just pretend to lose her in the post-​game madness.

Oh Twinkies, how I love you.
You always bring me great joy — particularly when my #1 team decides to blow their own brains out… step in front of the speeding bus… throw themselves off the Aurora Bridge (yes, bitter Mariner fan — party of 1). You’re always there when I need you to help stop the pain.
Justin Morneau — your sweet swing is golden. Joe Nathan — your countless saves make me swoon. Joe Mauer — well… god, just look at you.
Oh Twins, someday I will visit you in the Metrodome… and it will be a great, great day.

Everything that is right about the game of baseball is found in this organization. Everything.
