Basically: It stunk

1. Good Morning from Omaha,

   to quote the grinch stink stank stunk- too many injuries, too many players not living up to the expectations and host of bad decisions by the manger, the management and the owners. A play here a pitch there and things might have been different.

   The KC Slayor did not finish in last place in the AL Central- they finished fourth but that is not 5th and that is an improvement! May be next year there will be a KC/ Denver world series- or at least I can hope!

   There is still nothing like going to a ball game at Coors field. Spring training starts in about 6 months.

   Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

2. Sad thing is this picture is accurate. And what will happen to the Rox? I’m hearing it’ll be washed and regurgitated into next year with little change. I’m hoping for some change, either player wise or performance. I still hold hope for 2012 World Series. But it may not happen if nothing is done.

3. I’m just happy the Red Sox are out – Bostonians are the most obnoxious fanbase in sports.

4. The same thing can be said about the Minnesota Twins. They ended their season yesterday, with a total of 99 losses. Everyone had so much hope at the beginning of the season, that this year’s team would be “the one” to get to the World Series. The only highlights were Francisco Liriano’s shut-out, and Jim Thome’s 600th homer. Shortly after having achieved that milestone, Thome was traded back to the Cleveland Indians, so that he could finish out his career where it began. One more highlight was watching our AAA players come up to fill the roster, and our hearts, with their enthusiasm and great play-making capabilities. Watch out for Ben Revere!

   Now, Minnesota fans wait, and wonder, what the off-season will bring. Will Gardy’s go-to guy, Michael Cuddyer (who proved he can play nearly every position, including pitcher), be signed to a new, well-deserved, long-term contract? Will closer, Joe Nathan, take another step atop the Target Field pitching mound? Will Joe Maurer finally recover from all of his illnesses, and prove that he truly deserves the big money? Stay turned, folks, for another episode of “The Young and Homebase-less,” premiering in April 2012.
