Twins vs White Sox 9.25.08
Oh….My….Gosh! That game Thursday night was AMAZING! I think it might have been the most fun game I’ve ever been at…even better than the last game of 2006. I was sitting almost dead center, upper deck, with Chris, Josh & Andy and we had a blast. I can’t believe the Twins swept the White Sox!

Josh & I were at this game courtesy of the Twins. I had organized enough groups this year to be invited to a Fan Appreciation event and that part was awesome. We got unlimited free food & beverages from the Field Fare stand outside section 109…and no one outside of our group was able to use that stand. Yep…NO LINES! I think total we got: 3 dome dogs, 1 hot dog, nachos, pretzel & cheese, 2 malt cups, peanuts, cracker jack, 5 beers & 1 pop. The game was totally frustrating, especially after Thursday’s game, but I guess you can’t win em all. After the game Josh & I headed to Triple Rock to see Why? perform an all ages show.

Twins vs Royals 9.28.08
For the last home game of the regular season (or so we thought) I got together a group of 35 people and we all sat in section 221 (same as my season tix last year!) to cheer on the Twins. And celebrate my Brthday! I had wanted to get face paint all season & finally did on this exciting day. We had a good time cheering the Twins on to victory (Yay Scott Baker!) and watching the White Sox beat Cleveland to force a couple more games. Thank you to everyone who came out to cheer the Twins on to a Birthday victory!

It ain’t over yet
So…the Twins remained 1/2 game up on the White Sox after Sunday’s games which forced the Tigers to travel to Chicago to play a make up game. If anything had happened differently to allow the Twins to be 1 full game up that wouldn’t have been necessary, but it was and Monday afternoon (after a rain delay that seemed like forever) the Tigers & White Sox played a game and unfortunately the White Sox dominated which means there is a TIE for the AL Central lead.

That means…for only the 5th time in AL history there is a ONE GAME playoff! Yikes. And, to make matters worse, our Twins have to travel to Chicago to play…which was decided weeks ago with a COIN TOSS. Seriously - we won the season series…why can’t we have home field advantage? Ugh. So…all of Twins Territory will be eyes glued to the TV tonight at 6:30CDT cheering our boys to what will likely be a hard fought battle for the title. GO TWINS!!
