Twinks and Vikes

I'm pretty busy at work today, so this post will be short.

Tigers win again this afternoon giving us a nice 6 game lead. That is the biggiest lead we have had all year. Thank you Tigers.

Vikes start off the year tonight and I don't think it will be pretty.

Vikes 14
Saints 31

Sorry for such a short post. I will have a recap of the vikes game tomorrow and a preview of the Twins and Indians as well.

Thanks and go Vikes!

Sidefx of Playing softball...

Yep, good ol' tennis elbow. After playing through pain this past couple of weeks, I finally went into the Dr. They say I have some ligament damage....great. That is why the blog post have been lacking lately. My elbow is feeling a little better so I will do my best to get back on here and update all of you on the happenings in the sports world.

Gopher Basketball Eh

As you probably now, the Gophers played 3 games in Canada this weekend. They came out 3-0 and played pretty well for it being Sept. I'm most impressed with Devoe and Mo Walker. Walker is huge and will cause a lot of problems for teams that like to drive into the lane. With Mo, Trev, Colt and Ralph....watch out. Devoe looks like he started right where he finished...on fire. Everyone says he is better at the 2 spot, but I like him at the 1. It allows Blake to play more and will also allow Rodney to get some starts. Nolen is fine, but I think he should start taking the role of a 3rd-4th qtr defensive specialist. He can kind of be our "closer". I know we drop off a little on D when he is not in, but letting Devoe run the show and do is own thing seems to be the way to go.

The Twins are on Fire.

That's really all that needs to be said here. If we can get into the playoffs by winning the division (don't count us out of the wild card if chi-town passes us) than we have all but sealed up home field against the wild card team. I say don't count us out of the wild card race because we are only 2.5 behind Tampa for that spot. So, I would say our chances of getting into the playoffs with 23 games to go sits at about 90%. I think we have a great shot of winning the first round, no matter who we play. We have the 3rd best record in the league right now, so if there are any doubters...just leave. Yeah, we know you like the field, but if you don't like the team....WE DON'T NEED YA!

Vikes start Thursday

I will have more on this either tomorrow or Thursday.
