This is really well written. And it's all about the Twins. A fun read.

I'm pretty sure nobody here is from Minnesota. Its far too cold there.

Seriously though, its a good blog. There are a few other good Twins ones I read. When I get the links I will post them.

Not sure what the hell she is talking about. But I'll try and get into it.

I should start one of these. I know there is Twins Geek, and now this one. I think I should start one up...say what I think about the Twins

. Where's the best way to start??

I can't believe nobody has posted http://www.aarongleeman.com/ .

Best one out there IMO.

Jeremy Weimer · 04-15-2005, 12:56 AM

I have no idea what that chick said in her latest post, but rock on.

In related news, I'm thinking about purchasing season tickets for next season for the Twins. Just figured I'd share.

Most overhyped one I'd say. All the talk, no substance.

skipa, this is why i say you're the most underrated poster around!!!

absolutely agree 1000%. all gleeman does is provide the stats in a nice, convenient place. no analysis whatsoever other than haphazard cliches. "he's young, he'll probably be better this year." "luis rivas sucks. ha ha, aren't i brilliant?"

anyway, good for him for the work he does, and he is very good at getting accurate stats which i am usually too lazy to look up myself. but he does nothing i couldn't and his pale "objectivity" rivals this drivel as well.

tim_uwrf · 04-15-2005, 01:49 AM

OK...I started one with some help from Weimer.

http://twinsbytim.myblogsite.com/

Nothing there yet (I don't think). But here goes nothing

.

Jonzard · 04-15-2005, 01:53 AM

Anyone who knows. Let me know your recomendation of host. Also, would using "blogger", the program, be a good idea and if so do free sites allow it?

i've bookmarked it, tim. but the moment you call santana as this year's cy young winner is the moment i stop reading, mofo!!!

cknox0723 · 04-15-2005, 02:05 AM

oh, and a dola:

if i'm yous guys, i team up in a group effort. you'll cover a lot more material that way and will be much less likely to burn out. just my opinion. and be creative, damn it!

tim_uwrf · 04-15-2005, 03:47 AM

I gotta figure out how the hell this stuff works.

First thing I wanna figure out: Customizable calender so that I can insert the Twins schedule into it.
