1st Twins Game

Last night Nicole and I went to our 1st Twins Game. We got to see the last 4 innings of the game from the night before which was rained out so we saw 13 innings of baseball.
Jeter hit a solo home run to win the first game 1-0. The Twins left tons of runners on base in that game. The 2nd game was a great pitching match with Franky Lariano pitching excellent. We lost on solo home run in the 9th inning by Nick Swisher with 2 outs. It was heartbreaking. You could just hear the hearts break in that place last night. You want to talk about buzz though, that place was as exciting of an atmosphere as I have seen since Gopher basketball in 1997. (the year that doesn't exist). The stadium last night was completely sold out and it was perfect weather. To think that I was sitting in Minneapolis, 4 blocks from my office was surreal in a way. The ballpark is unbelievable, they missed nothing. There are more bars and restaurants in the place than you can imagine and no lines for bathrooms. The field is perfect, seats are wider than the dome and very comfortable, more leg room. Besides the outcome of the game, it was a great evening. We went with Mark and Karen Schultz who have season tickets and their seats are excellent. We sat in row 9 right over the Yankee dugout which is the 3rd base side. They split 2 sets of season tickets with some other couples and the other set of tickets they have are behind home plate in the Legends Club which is like the Club level at the Xcel Center, a little fancier with air conditioning behind you and a private bar/bathroom/seating area but you don't feel like you are in the game as much as you do along 3rd base. The fans were really on Alex Rodriguez last night, signs everywhere calling him A-ROID.
