Is it time to be excited about football yet?
Also, I now have decided that the MN team I’m going to get behind is the Twins. In general I feel like they have a better feel to their organization than most other teams I’ve paid any attention to.
Now, this does not mean I have started hating the Cubs. The cubs are in the NL and the twins the AL, so I’m mostly safe. When faced with them playing each other I’m going to go with the twins because I have really been tired of the cubs shit. The organization is just crap. They never want to spend enough money on talent and coaching to stay near the top for more than 1 out of ever 8 to 10 seasons.
So, since the cubs have done a good job of turning me off of baseball over the years, I’ve decided the Twins will be my number one team, and the cubs number two.
Plus, being a twins fan has the bonus of getting to hate the White Sox, which really isn’t a stretch for me since I already hated the Sox.
I also picked the twins because Minnesota is starting to feel like home which means I need a regional sports team to support. Driving back into the city last night at 1am I really had that ‘coming home’ feeling. So, between my utter hatred of the Vikings (I mean you can’t go back on the bears…and the bears hate the Vikings), and thinking the Timberwolves just can’t get it together and have had a lot of crap people on their team (by crap I mean jerk-offs), I picked the twins. (Plus, Rob thinks KG is going to go the bulls which will only solidify my love of the Bulls)
Also, the conference was cool.
