It’s been awhile since I have commented on the Twins. Everyone and their uncle have suddenly become obsessed with football now that the lockout has ended. You might say, “Well so have you Amanda. You can’t hide from your tweets.” True I can’t; but just because I am constantly giving Packer updates left and right doesn’t mean I have tuned out baseball.
But what do you want me to say? Everything that could be said doesn’t need to be. I have lost the one trash talk topic I had all season after this horrendous series against the White Sox. I would just be preaching my frustration to the choir if I were to open up.
Some fans might call this season a train wreck. I don’t agree. There hasn’t been an explosion once during the Twins season that is close to a train wreck. I guess you could say the 20-6 loss against the Rangers is as close to combustion as the Twins will get.
So how would I describe the Twins season? Good question. I thought about the Twins a lot this weekend. I was at my cousins’ house on a lake in Wisconsin for a family event called Cousins Weekend. Maybe it was the random talk about the Brewers’ success or the reminder of Uncle Mike’s unfortunate infatuation with the White Sox that made me think about the Twins.
Either way, I have come to the conclusion that the Twins season is much like a tube ride behind the boat. Sound confusing? Well let me break it down for you.
