OMG! Please sit down. Tonight was the best baseball game I have ever been to. First of all, Schilling vs. Santana got the Dome about as filled as a good weekend series, and a lot of the fans were young, and of course it's the Red Sox, so it was the best Twins crowd I've seen.

So Johan starts by striking out 5 of the first 6, then like 7 of the first nine or something just rediculous. Schilling was pitching well, but Lew Ford and Torii kept killing rallies as well. Anyway, of course Boston gets the random home run in the seventh to go up 1-0. Usually that is it for the Twins, but Cuddy came in the bottom of the inning and went yard (there was a fan near with a sign "Cuddy=Clutch"). So we get to the 12th inning, same score, and Boston gets a rally going against Jesse Crain. They score a run on a real close play (Punto dove and Castillo almost got the DP) but we think it might be over. Would have been a good game regardless. Anyway, Joe Mauer strikes out, (second time in the game WTF) but then Cuddy and Morneau get to 2nd and 3rd, they walk Hunter and rookie Jason Kubel come up and hits a walk off grand slam! The place went nuts!

Then the cherry on top. Kevin Garnett was sitting in the front row by the Twins dugout. He stuck out so much, like a foot taller than everybody. Anyway, after the game he is walking up the stairs of my section and we all got pounds. I told him we were bringing him a championship.

I also got on the jumbotron. I remember a few years back I saw a highlight of the Wolff Pack, the group that cheered on Randy Wolff when he was good. When he got a strikeout, they would do this dance where they just did the umps strikeout sign over and over. So when Johan got hot, we started doing that and god a good showing on the jumbotron.

Finally, I hate Red Sox fans, but it also made it for my best heckling night to date. See it's not the real Red Sox fans like Stima and MVP, it's the people from everywhere in the world that jumped on the bandwagon. Like it was getting pretty loud when Varitek hit the HR, and they tried to start a "Lets go Red Sox chant." I know some of them are actually from Boston, but I just hate the bandwagon fans. So that brought out some classic heckles such as "Hey Curt, here's some paint for your sock", "You're not from Boston, shut up", "Red Sox buy their World Series with a price, Twins win them with a Puckett", and when Ortiz hit a deep fly ball and the Bandwagon Socks fans got excited, I had to remind them "Don't you remember? Ortiz is no good in the Dome, he just breaks his wrists."

Anyway, seriously, this was everything you ever want from a baseball game. Just about everything sweet that possibly could happen did. Seriously, if the Twins can make some 2003-esque deals this offseason, the core of Mauer, Morneau, Kubel, Cuddyer, Hunter, Santana, Liriano, Bonser and Crain can take us far in a couple years.

You can stand up now.
