I was at the game in 2003 at Miller Park that you cite, and I would love to see video of that bomb to center field - does anyone know where it can be found? We were in the lower seats along the left field line and could not believe how far he hit that.

Thanks, rocketpig, for the reply. I still find this strange, as I am a Green Bay Packers fan and they have their own app. This builds brand loyalty and is something that I think the Twins are missing out on.

Does anyone know if the Twins have an app available? I can't seem to find one in the iTunes store. Am I missing something or are the Twins missing the boat big time?

Just an interesting comparison of two free agent signings playing against one another tonight, Jamey Carroll and Albert Pujols. Carroll G - 22 AB - 84 R - 13 H - 18 2B - 3 3B - 0 HR - 0 RBI - 6 BB - 12 SO - 11 SB - 1 CS - 1 AVG - .214 OBP - .320 SLG - .250 OPS - .570 Pujols G - 23 AB - 92 R - 8 H - 20 2B - 8 3B - 0 HR - 0 RBI - 4 BB - 6 SO - 14 SB - 0 CS - 0 AVG - .217 OBP - .265 SLG - .304 OPS - .570 To be clear, I'm not suggesting that Jamey Carroll is anywhere near the baseball player, or hitter in particular, that Albert Pujols is. This is rather just a comparison that I found to be almost comical, showing that with a small sample size, one cannot jump to many conclusions.

Hat tip to Cody Christie for the link http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/sports/Baseball-Walk-Up-Music--144150975.html in Friday Links-n-Thinks, as this article got me thinking. I personally love intro music for each player, and still think fondly of David Ortiz coming out to Mystikal's "Shake It Fast" in 2001, so I'm curious to know what people's take on intro music is, and if you could pick your own song to come to (imagine that you were in the majors), what would it be? On a related note, in our first co-ed rec softball game played last week, our opponents had an iPod and portable speakers that they would blast intro music for each batter. I thought this was great. Has anyone else had this happen in slow pitch softball? To answer my own question, I'd roll out to "Big Gun" by AC/DC.

One bad inning by Marquis, presumably the 4th or 5th starter, and one bad inning by a guy who will likely be in the minors this season, and FJ can safely say that the Twins with the worst pitching staff in the majors? I don't think any Twins fan will say that this team has the makings of a World Series contender, but I'd prefer to let this play out for at least spring traning before making judgments.
