my Twins

So Friday night I stayed at my sisters house while my Bro-in-law worked on my car.... Whilst watching the Twins take on the Blue Jays, I was teaching my adorable niece how to say the different Twins players names.. My favorite was when I taught her "kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuub"

So, in the time I was teaching my lovely niece how to say the names, I had a conversation with my sister about walk off wins.  I was explaining to her what a walk off win.... I told her I was at the first walk off home run win at Target Field when Jim Thome hit a two run home run in the bottom of the 10th to beat the White Sox.....

what a foreshadow to saturday's game! holy cow it was a great game!  well, the ending was anyway!!  It was the bottom of the ninth when i turned to my sister and said "this is where we get a walk off win!"  dang i'm good. I called Jim Thome's walk off homer in August... I called Danny V's grand slam last weekend... and I called the walk off win... and stuck by it even when we had 2 out in the bottom of the 9th.  what a fun game.

This photo, btw, was from Jimmy's walk off dinger on August 17th... it's one of the photos from the calendar that we got on Saturday.  It's going to be my next painting... love the looks on the guys' faces!!

here are a few shots from Saturday's game....

 Great view of our pennant flags, blowing in so you can see what a great team we've had thru the years!

This is the first game that Stef and I went to at Target Field...

 And here comes my boyfriend, Kevin Slowey. This made me a happy girl to see him coming in to relieve :)

 And my predictions come to be! way to load the bags boys!

a happy Twins crowd!
