Twins Opener

Today is the Minnesota Twins Home Opener game against the Oakland Athletics. The ceremonial first pitches will be thrown by the children of Kirby Puckett, Catherine and Kirby Jr. Part of the ceremonies will include the introduction of the #34 patches that Twins players will wear on their uniforms all season. Today there will also be the number 34 painted in centerfield. On field ceremonies start at 6:35 pm with Twins pitcher Brad Radke starting against A's pitcher Dan Haren at 7:10 pm.

The Twins are currently in last place in the American League, Central Division with a 1-5 record. Lets hope being at home under the dome will bring some life to the team. After this three game series with Oakland, Minnesota faces the Yankees and that hunk/trader Johnny Damon, starting this Friday for another three game series at home. Then with one day off (Monday) they stay at home for another three games against the LA Angles.

LET'S PLAY BALL!
