Let's get the stats out of the way...

Here we are up close and personal to TC the Bear!

55 days until home-opener

Co-baseball team-mate Amy will be in AZ for three weeks. That means she will miss the Spring Training game opener on February 28 but we’ll adjust.



On to the business of baseball!
Today we’ll be taking care of the non-funny, non-gossipy side of Real World Baseball – Statistics. After some research on various sites (official Twins page, Sports Illustrated and MLB.com) I have written my lists.

2B Luis Castillo - .296 BA, 3 HR, 49 RBI in 2006

*I promise that the next entry will have some action and adventure.

Non-baseball related sporting news:
Hockey Alert! I watched the Detroit Redwings at New York Rangers game last night. Where were the Rangers? They started big and then gave up. I had to watch the game on the sly whilst Stacy was busy with other activities since evidently baseball is enough of a household sport. Between baseball and hockey there would always be a sport on television.

I KNOW! He is supposed to be more in shape, healthier and able to be a power hitter. He better not piss me off. I am having a hard enough time dealing with Silva.
