Tonight the Twins will try to prove to New York that game 1 wasn’t a fluke, and that bling-bling salaries doesn’t always mean playoff wins. Speaking of Winnesota, here is some more good reasons to cheer on the local teams:
- Kevin Garnet signed a deal to stay with the wolves until he gets a senior citizen discount at home games.
- The Gophers Football team is in the top 20.
- Local football teams SCSU and St. Johns here in St. Cloud are ranked nationally in their divisions.
- The Gophers hockey team is going for it’s record third national championship in a row.
- The Wild are coming off a playoff year, and will fare well if they sign a few more of last years heroes.
- The Vikings are 4 and 0 on the season and on a 7 game winning streak if you go back to 2002. Oh, and the Packers are 2-2.
The WNBA Lynx made it to the playoffs with their best season yet– ok that’s pushing it.
All that said, it’s going to take a bit of luck to beat the Yanks on their home field again, and the Vikes are playing with a backup quarterback and have had a mostly fluff schedule as of yet. So I’m not counting my eggs, just hopping for the best.

Tim, we went to SCSU, we hate the gopher hockey team! Have you been doing too much computing? Go huskies and Packers!

I was just listing great things about Minnesota sports. It doesn’t mean I wont throw a gopher with a rope around it’s neck on the ice when they come to town. Pa ha!
