Greetings!

Hello, I would like to give a shout out to my first follower!!!  My parents...

But that, by no means, invigorates my insecurity with not having many friends. 

Anyways... I will have more followers soon.  Hopefully.

There is something I would like to discuss and I hope to get a hold of a bunch of people on this.  If you watched yesterdays Twins game you noticed that Kevin Slowey was practically painting the corners with his stellar pitching.  While spending most of the season trying to find his rhythm, Slowey looked he had top-notch stuff yesterday afternoon against the A's.  By the 7th inning he was pitching a no-hitter.

Fantastic right?  Well I wish I could tell you that Kevin went on to pitch a no-hitter, because that would be awesome.

Unfortunately, Ron, our manager, took Slowey out in the 7th inning, preventing him from achieving a no-hitter.  John Rausch then came into the game in the 8th and let in two runs to blow the combined no-hitter, however the Twins still won.  Gardenhire received a massive amount of boo's after his decision to take out Slowey, but even he said he felt awful about doing so.  This reasoning behind his decision was this: He feared that by keeping Slowey in the game, given his recent missed start due to tendinitis, would hurt him in the long run and potentially risk him not being healthy when the playoffs come around.  He would have loved to keep him in the game, but he couldn't do it.  He would've done the same thing 1,000 times he says.

Sound off!  What are your thoughts on Gardenhire's decision?  Do you agree or disagree?

First Post: Thoughts

Hey to anyone who is reading this!  This is my first post so we will see how it goes. 

I am quite lucky to have the Twins in town playing the White Sox tonight.  Maybe if that streak of luck continues they can get out of this series at least a game ahead of them in the Central D.  If you haven't been keeping up much, the Twins and White Sox have been going back and forth constantly all season fighting for first place in the division.  The Twins pulled ahead in the early bit of the season, but as usual, the Sox had their freakish, mid-season run and went ahead.  And what'ya know, the Twins and White Sox are tied with the same record going into tonights game.  Figures. 

Scott Baker is pitching tonight after doing a stand-up job last week against the Rays.  He was in line to get the win last week, when Matt Capps could not finish off the Rays, as they came back in the 9th to take away Baker's should-have-been well earned victory.  If you get a chance, check out the game tonight.  I may be going, but that is completely dependent on the climate.

I hope to add some movie reviews on here soon.  There are a few movies I am looking forward to seeing that have landed in the theaters recently.  If you're looking for a comedy, check out The Other Guys.  Will Ferrell, who in my opinion has seen better movie days, teams up with Mark Wahlberg as two detectives who are overshadowed by their superiors played by Samual Jackson and Dwayne Johnson.  Yet another comic book adaptation is coming out this weekend in Scott Pilgrim Versus The World, where Michael Cera plays as Scott Pilgrim, who falls for a girl who works for Amazon, but can only earn her heart if he can challenge and defeat her seven ex-boyfriends in comic book, mixed in with some video game styled fighting.  Here are some other movie recommendations I have if you are looking for something to watch!
