Goodbye Teflon Monster
I went to what may be my last ever Twins game at the Metrodome tonight. Bryan and I caught the Twins-Pirates game and even with me there Bryan kept his winning streak in tact. He's never seen the Twins lose in the over dozen games he's been to over the years. And tonight was no exception. The Twins won 8-2 with Perkins just off the disabled list and Mauer collecting four more hits and raising his batting average from .414 to .429. He is red hot. I've seen a lot of great games at the dome. It gets a really bad rap and frankly it's a piece of crap stadium: uncomfortable seats with no leg room, a giant baggy in right field and a cover that fly balls get lost in (which has certainly been to the Twins advantage over the years... it certainly was tonight!). But I've experienced such good times there. Seeing game six of the 1991 World Series with my mom is my definite highlight. So in a way I'll miss ya dome. But I look forward to the new stadium next season too :)
