2010 Twins Headlines
First of all, Happy New Year
to everyone!! I hope you had a great 2009, and hopefully we can have a better
2010. As I mentioned on both Twitter and Facebook
last night, I would like to thank ESPN’s Chris Berman for making me realize
that I have now lived in five decades… it made me feel old, so I went to bed at
11:59, just because!
And I had a crazy dream. It
was a dream which helps better illustrate to the masses just how pathetic I
really am. So, I was at Twins Fest, but instead of it being at Metrodome, it was at some big hotel/convention center. It
was a huge facility. I had a hotel room, which I apparently shared with the Will Smith/Jada Pinkett family. In the morning, I woke
up and walked all around this convention center, but I couldn’t find the minor
league area. I was getting quite frustrated. I would go back out into the hall
way only to find more halls and conventions. I found the main lobby and a big
sign with arrows pointing me in the right direction. On the sign, it said that Jeff Manship
would not be signing on that Sunday. It said also that Oswaldo Sosa would not be able to sign on Sunday either. That was
interesting to me because as far as I know, he is still a minor league free
agent. So, it was a little weird. And then the third person that would be
unable to sign was not able to make it on Friday night. It took me awhile to
read the name as it was not one I knew from the Twins… It was spelled. N-O-L-A-S-C-O. What?? The Twins had made a trade for Ricky Nolasco from the Marlins? Who
did they trade? When did this happen? How could I find out? Well, I had left my
phone in my hotel room, so I had to go back to find it which, of course, was a another maze of halls and corridors. Finally, I realized
it was, in fact, in my pocket. So, I called people I thought would know, but
every time I dialed, I got a wrong number. I was able to surf to MLB Trade
Rumors, but there was nothing there. And then I woke up.
I know what you’re thinking…
Seth needs a break! You’d probably be right! But that leads me into my blog
posting for today. As I did a year ago, I thought it would be fun to post some
2010 Twins Headlines. Some can be serious. Some can be fun. Hopefully you will
find some of them interesting. My hope is that you will fill the Comments
section with 2010 Twins Headlines of your own.
With that excessive introduction,
here are my projected 2010 Minnesota Twins headlines:
