Twins are leaving Toronto with the blues, while the Jays are flying high.

Well, opening weekend for the Twins didn’t go as well as most of us thought it would. As predicted in an earlier post, I said it would be nice to have the Twins coming home with a 5-2 record. Well, it is looking like they have a better chance of coming home with a 2-5 record. The Twins got knocked around pretty good this weekend. We know the Jays like to hit homeruns, so that wasn’t a surprise. No, the surprise was that we didn’t do any damage at all. Sure, Valencia and Span each had a homerun….yeah, I know, they aren’t really the power on our team. But, the rest of the line-up didn’t show much pop at all. Since the Jays don’t really have the best pitching, I was sure that we would knock them around a little bit. I was wrong. You would expect a team that has the M&M boys, Cuddy, Delmon and Thome, to knock some balls out of the park. Just wasn’t the case this weekend.

Going, Going, Gone. It almost felt like Brad Radke was back on the team this weekend. It seemed like almost every picture we threw out there, gave up a tape measure shot. With all the talk about how we have so much talent, we have to move a starter into the bullpen, I expected a better showing. I didn’t think Blackburn would be the one to get us a win, but he was. Don’t get me wrong, I know it’s only the first 3 games out of 162, but when you play in as many “play-in” games as this team has over the past couple of years, you want to win every game you can. So, I’m not pressing the panic button by any means, just hope the nerves are gone and we go into New York and at least take 3 out 4. Wishful thinking, I know, but it can be done.

The Final Four has come down to the Final Two.

Well, it’s been a long year, but the Men’s College Basketball season wraps up tonight. Coming back for the second year in a row, you have the Butler Bulldogs facing the hottest team in the game, Uconn. Uconn came into the tournament winning 5 games in a row to win the Big East tourney. If you throw in the Maui Invitational, they are undefeated. Butler came into the tourney as an 8^th seed, but has been playing a lot better than that. They have grinded out games and have just found ways to win. They were in this same spot last year and almost beat Duke on a last second, half-court heave that almost brought Mr. Duke to his knees. This is going to be a great game, showcasing two very good teams, with two different playing styles.

Prediction: The picture kind of gives it away. Speed outduels Muscle. Uconn wins 87-74.
