Is it just me, or do you find it painful to watch the Minnesota Twins on defense? I can't ever remember having to hold my breath and cross my fingers on a routine ground ball. And if it's a double play ball? I quick turn the channel; I'm quite superstitious.

Losing isn't the problem. I suffered through the 1990 season. (I went to every home game that year for work.) But it's how we lose. Gardy said it best when he compared our play to little leaguers.

And what's up with all the sore fingers?

Don't get me wrong. I live for baseball. My husband and I rush home from work, drag the T.V. outside and settle in for a few hours of summer heaven.  When they have a night off, I kind of feel empy inside.  

The glass half full approach; Alexi Castilla had a good week and moving Brendan Harris to short seems to have put a smile on Gardy's face.  Oh, and it's May, a lot of baseball still to play. And anytime Carlos Gomez is in the mix I have to watch; even if I have to hold my breath.
