In creating this blog I hope to join the many dedicated fans devoted to discussing the local sport seen in our little state. More than 90% of my entries will focus on the Twins, however I will devote some time in talking about the Vikings and the sad state of the University of Minnesota sports. Though the Minnesota faithful have encountered their fair share of disappointment in the early stages of this young century, I tend to side towards cautious optimism when it comes to sports. Despite everything...:
2000- Vikings lose to Giants in NFC Championship Game
2002- Twins lose to Angels in ALCS
2003- Wild loose to Mighty Ducks in third round of Playoffs
2003- Twins lose to Yankees in ALDS
2004- Twins lose to Yankees in ALDS
2004- Timberwolves lose to Lakers in Conference Finals
2004- Vikings lose to Eagles in the Second Round of the Playoffs
Anyways, those are just some of the examples. There has been some seriously talented teams here so far this decade, but each team has teased us hopeful Minnesotans and fallen short of greatness.
What I'd like to do to begin my blogging career is to take an in-depth look at the Twins plans for the 2006 season. Starting tomorrow I will take an look at the Twins pitchers, looking at strategies for both the rotation and the bullpen. I will continue on the rest of the week looking at the rest of the Twins roster. From there the options are endless. I don't plan on analyzing every game everyday, but rather I'd like to address important issues as they develop throughout the season. I'm also hoping to visit some friends at my old college in upstate New York. While there I'd like to do some in-depth coverage of the Rochester Redwings, as I have seen very few Minor League games in my life.
So for those who are reading this first entry I invite you to come back the rest of this week and read my thoughts and decide my worthiness and savvy within the blogger community.
