Road to the World Series. Part Two.

From the NY Times:  The Twins took the opening game of their division series with the Yankees in 2003 and 2004, before losing three in a row both times. After a three-game sweep by Oakland in 2006, the Twins returned to the division series last year, bowing again to the Yankees in three.

Road to the World Series. Part one.

Gardy's wife is ready for the Yankees.

Yankees? Why did it have to be the Yankees?!

I've made some mistakes in my life.  I'm not ashamed to admit it.  But, by far, the biggest ones EVER, have to be marrying not one but TWO Yankee fans.  (Not simultaneously, mind you.)  And when Clyde and I were married in the early 80s, my Twins were still re-building.  John came along just in time for us to enjoy The World Series of 1987; still one of my fondest memories of that year.  Number one was Charlie's birth.  But the Twins squeaker over St. Louis was definitely in second place.

And so it begins again.  Twins-Yankees.  Wednesday.

I wish we had a pitcher like Frank "Sweet Music" Viola in the bullpen.

Go Twins.  Beat those Yanks!

The Great Midwest Aug 13-15, 2010

We had such a fabulous weekend! 
This video doesn't do it justice but I continue to try...
Love the lightning show Friday night in Olathe, seeing A-Rod hit THREE home runs Saturday night and then, best of all, the Missouri State Fair Sunday.

Life is good, indeed.
