Laying It On The Line

Minnesota Twins : The Official Site

Tomorrow my wife is going to an all day scrapbooking class. Let’s say that again so it can really sink in, all day scrapbooking class. Yeah, my sports addiction is weird (insert rolling eye smily here)!!!

Anyway, because she will be gone, tomorrow will be dedicated to Xbox during the late morning and early afternoon, and the Twins game at Old Chicago for late afternoon and evening. Is there much better (in Montana) than sitting at your favorite watering hole with a friend or two watching the Twins play? If we had any form of baseball around here, I’d probably go to a game. However, since we don’t I have to make do as I can.

How about the NFL draft? I know quite a few people are complaining that the Vikes didn’t take Mike Williams. I would like it known that I am not one of these people.

I think Troy Williamson will work out just fine. He’s not as big as Williams, but he is a lot faster. In my mind Williams is a possession receiver. We already have Nate Burleson, we don’t need a possession guy, we need someone that can stretch the field. Want another bonus? This from NFL.com “excelling on special teams as a kickoff returner and gunner on the coverage units.”

I know Williamson will not be a lifelong punt returner. However, he’s a rookie. It’s one of those “trial by fire” things. Put him there this year and let him use that speed to get to the house.

Well, I’m done. Check back next week.

I would love to be able to post daily like Aaron Gleeman, Seth Stohs or John Bonnes. However, that probably won’t happen anytime soon. I just don’t have the gift of gab that these fine Twins commentators do. Also, with the impending addition to my family (we’re expecting our first kid the end of August), I really won’t have as much time.

If anyone is actually still visiting here feel free to checkout the links on the right side of this blog. They will keep you up to date.

I would like to add a little on last nights game (a 5-4 loss to the Pale Hosers). I hate how many GIDP’s the Twins hit into. I didn’t get the game last night, so I was “watching” it on Gameday. Both Torii Hunter and Joe Mauer hit into GIDP to end the inning. In both cases the Twins would have benefited greatly from even a single in these cases. Just completely frustrating.

Anyway, check out the links.
