Tomorrow Thom and I will head to Minneapolis to see the Minnesota Twins take on the Boston Red Sox.  Last year we didn't make it to any Twins games, so we're really excited to be headed for the Metrodome.  While Thom is all Minnesota Twins fan, I have to admit I have a soft spot for the Red Sox.  There's just something about their history that makes the team very appealing to me.  Thom would tell you that I like them because the players are so popular they're almost like celebrities.  There may be a grain of truth to that.  While I wish David Ortiz could've been as popular as a Twin as he is as a member of the Red Sox, few would argue that "Big Papi" has almost reached rock star status.  It will be fun to see those famous faces in person...even if it is from the stadium seats. But once the game starts, will only be cheering for the Twins.  Loyalty is loyalty, and the Sox are in the Twins' house now.

I'm also excited to see Carlos Gomez in action.  He's been such a bright spot for the Twins so far this season.  He hit for the cycle the other night...the first Twin to do so since Kirby Puckett in 1986.  Carlos was only 8 months old then! I hope he has another great game when we are there to see him.  The last time Thom and I were at a Twins game, we managed to catch up with some of the players afterwards for autographs.  With so many new faces on the team this year, we might have to do the same thing again. If one of the Red Sox just happens to be available for a quick autograph as well, I just might have to take them up on it.  Sorry, Thom.
