Twins actually win a game we're at!

We went to the Twins game tonight and they actually won (4-2). How unusual. After this win, their home record is 5-12. Not so good…

This time we were in section 102, row 20, right on the aisle closest to the diamond. They were actually much better seats than I thought they would be. Being on the aisle was nice because we could get in and out easily, but also a pain because everyone else in our aisle was constantly coming through. I’ve never stood up so much at a baseball game. We got up at least 3x per inning. Annoying.

It was a fun game to go to since a Twins home win (or win in general) is so rare this season. A few notable moments – bunt squeeze play allowing Casilla to score, balk by the Mariner’s pitcher which brought in a run, and a complete game pitched by Blackburn. It was also a really nice night even though it was a little overcast and cooler during the day. It was perfect weather to take in a game. The only part that wasn’t so special was sitting in the car for ½ an hour to get out of the parking lot. AHHHHHH!!!

For once there was no rain in the forecast, so we brought the Canon with. So here are probably a lot more Twins photos than you care to look at. Adam took most of them (who knew he'd be so into this camera thing?!?). If you click on the photo you can see it larger.
