You ever have that pack that you were wary buying and then when you opened it your fears were confirmed?  That pack in which every card inside was dinged to the point of extreme annoyance.  That curved bend that can’t be “flattened out” sticking it under a heavy book on every card taunting you.  Well, luckily for my sanity (and my bank account) there are no SPs, SSPs, Acunas, or Torreses in this 12 pack of disappointment.  Into the pit with thee bent comrades, you were never given the proper chance to join my collection.

PS: There is a good chance that when I finally complete Series 2 I’ll need at least one of these ten base cards to do so.  Thems just be the breaks.

A Look Back: A Fans Recollection Of Past Seasons

With the sports world at a halt for the foreseeable future, I wanted to go back and take a look at memorable moments in Twins history. I started going to at-least 25 games or more in 2013 and have tons of memories at the ballpark in those eight years that followed.

                                2013 Minnesota Twins season:

2013 was very memorable for myself because I went on my first spring training trip in March. I remember my first spring training game on March 13, where the Twins took on the Orioles. Brian Dozier made a great play at second base, which be a foreshadowing moment because we would later become a Gold Glover. The Twins lost the first three games I attended then beat the Pirates on the last day of my trip. April 1st was Opening Day at Target Field. It was a chilly day, but I remained in my seat for the whole game. Vance Worley got the start and pitched fairly well. The Twins couldn’t seem to hit Justin Verlander and the Tigers won 4-2. I returned to the ballpark two days later and Kevin Correia tossed a gem of a game. The Tigers handed a 2-1 lead over to Phil Coke and the Twins rallied in the ninth. Trevor Plouffe led-off with a walk and Brian Dozier singled to right wit one-out. Eduardo Escobar hit a ball to the gap in left-center field that scored pinch-runner Jamey Carroll. Brian Dozier raced all the way around from first base and beat the relay throw to score the game-winning run. It’s still one of my favorite moments that I have been apart of in the stands. My next game was on April 15th on Jackie Robinson Day. Oswaldo Arcia made his Major League debut that night and the Twins beat up on Joe Blanton behind Joe Mauer’s four hits. That spring was a cold one as a Marlins-Twins game was postponed due to snow. They played a doubleheader in 42 degree weather the next day, but I missed both games. The weather warmed up when I went to the April 26th game against the Rangers. Justin Grimm threw seven shutout innings, but the Twins rallied in the ninth with an Oswaldo Arcia three-run home run. Joe Nathan was able to shut the door for the save as the Rangers won. I only went to one game in May of 2013. The Twins hit four home runs to beat the Brewers on May 30th. My next game was on June 14th when the Tigers were back in town. Rick Porcello shut out the Twins in a Tigers 4-0 win. I returned to the ballpark on Father’s Day, but Doug Fister tossed another brilliant game in a Tigers victory. The White Sox were in town to close out the homestand. I went to the game on June 19th and the Twins beat Chris Sale 7-4 that night. The Twins returned home a week later and my sister and I went to the game on June 27th. A quick game ensued as Jeremy Guthrie and Samuel Deduno dueled. The Twins held on for a 3-1 victory at Target Field. The Yankees came to town in early-July. I attended the July 1st game with my cousin and saw the Yankees put up seven runs in the last two innings. That Yankees team had a lot of weird names, but they got the win that night. I returned to the ballpark on the 4th of July. The Yankees put up nine runs that afternoon as the Twins were handed another loss. The All-Star Break came and went and I went to the first game of the second half. It was Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau’s double bobblehead night. A late Joe Mauer RBI single put the Twins ahead 3-2 and Glen Perkins closed the door on the win. Unfortunately, the Twins were off on my birthday and I went to the July 30th game. The Royals got the best of Mike Pelfrey and Ervin Santana got the win. I followed that with a Sunday afternoon game against the Astros. A Oswaldo Arcia homer in the seventh helped the Twins win 3-2. The next time I went to the ballpark is one of my most memorable games. Andrew Albers threw a two-hit shutout against the Indians in his second start as a Twin. Two days later, I went to the Wednesday afternoon match-up. It was a long day as the Indians beat the Twins 9-8 in a twelve-inning affair. Joe Mauer had five hits that day in a losing effort. The Twins had a makeup game the next Monday against the Mets. Dillon Gee threw a game game as the Mets won 6-1. The Royals came back to Target Field in late-August. Andrew Albers threw a great game, but the bullpen gave up five runs later in a 8-1 loss. That September I went to quite a few games. The Blue Jays came to town and R.A. Dickey beat Mike Pelfrey that night. I went to a pair of A’s-Twins games later that week. Josh Willingham hit a late home run in a win on Tuesday night then the A’s put up 18 runs in a win the next night. I remember a Jed Lowrie ball that should have been called foul, but it ended up being a two-run double. The Rays were in town that Friday and Chris Archer shut the Twins out. The last homestand came around and the Twins beat the Tigers on a Josmil Pinto walk-off single. The Indians beat the Twins on Friday night 12-6 in what was my first Zubaz game. I went to the last game of the season that Sunday and Ubaldo Jimenez pitched a gem. The Indians clinched a Wild-Card spot and celebrated at Target Field. I’ll remember 2013 fondly because it was the first year that I went to a lot of games. It was fun remembering my first year in spring training and under the sun at Target Field.

Pittsburgh Pirates at Colorado Rockies 7/29/2010 Game 23

After the big wedding day it was off to Midway airport in Chicago and we landed in “The Centennial State” ready to enjoy some Rocky Mountain scenery. Instead we spent the first day out West suffering from altitude sickness. After making a speedy recovery we trekked all over the mountains before settling back to Denver.

We arrived early to take in our first experience at Coors Field which is one of my favorite venues to take in a baseball game. To make it even better, the ushers, who were super old people, were nothing but nice to me, despite me sporting a makeshift Roberto Clemente jersey.

As for the game itself, crafty lefty Paul Maholm, fresh off his complete game shutout of the Astros just nine days earlier, took the mound for the Pirates. Opposing him was first time All-Star and owner of a no-hitter back in April, Ubaldo Jimenez.

Both pitchers took their lumps in the first inning when Garrett Jones doubled in Jose Tabata for the Pirates and Carlos Gonzalez hit a no doubter off Maholm to make it 1-1 after one.

The second inning belonged to the Rockies with Maholm facing a bases loaded, two out scenario. Dexter Fowler doubled in a pair and future Pirate, Clint Barmes, drove in another two to quickly make it 5-1 Colorado.

The Rockies piled on with an RBI single by Miguel Olivo in the fifth. Barmes added an RBI single and Troy Tulowitzki, complete with the Rocky Mountains shaved into the side of his mullet, hit a sac fly to give Colorado an 8-1 advantage. Brad Hawpe wrapped up the Rockies scoring with a solo homer off Steven Jackson.

Rafael Betancourt came on for Jimenez in the eighth and surrendered a two-run homer off the bat of Neil Walker, but Pittsburgh would not be able to scratch a run against Huston Street to finish the game. Street was pitching just two days after suffering an abdominal contusion when Ian Stewart hit him with a line drive during batting practice.

We packed up our things and flew back to Chicago en route to Cincinnati, our new home...well technically Kentucky. It would set up a future of seven years of Reds baseball, including an All-Star Game and one year of half-season tickets.

6-run frame propels Astros to sweep of O's

For that second game consecutively, the Astros pounced around the Orioles rapidly. The Astros hit for any team cycle within the second inning and added one half-dozen runs, deflating Baltimore and easing to their 4th series sweep this year by having an 8-4 win Sunday mid-day at Minute Maid Park.

Despite the Orioles -- who've now lost seven consecutively -- scored rapidly within the first inning on the two-run homer by Jonathan Schoop, the Astros responded.

All nine Astros batted within their season-high-tying, six-run second inning. Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve singled, Marwin Gonzalez and Yuli Gurriel introduced in three operates on a set of doubles, Josh Reddick tripled and George Springer blasted a 2-run, 428-feet dinger to left field -- finishing the team's one-inning cycle Richard Urena Jersey.

"The explosive inning we'd in the second reason is clearly the large difference hanging around,Inch Astros manager A.J. Hinch stated. "Clearly, it's huge to determine, not just in get Lance, but simply still play pretty exceptional baseball. There exists a deep roster, and there exists a large amount of guys that may step-up and take part in the game well."

Sunday marked Houston's 35th win, probably the most within the Majors, and Lance McCullers Junior.s sixth win. McCullers completed six innings on 105 pitches. He struck out eight and permitted five hits and three runs (two earned), his first earned runs since May 1 cheap hockey jersey.

Orioles starter Alec Asher lasted just two frames, yielding six operates on six hits. Ubaldo Jimenez, who had been moved Friday to some relief role, selected in the slack within the 'pen. He thrown six innings of two-run ball, striking out five.

"Everyone's just a little frustrated. It's difficult to not [be]," Asher stated. "We are an excellent team, we'll cope with it. Every team hits a tough patch. We'd prefer to be hitting ours now than later around.Inch

Mark Trumbo also homered for Baltimore, his seventh of year, within the eighth inning.

Having a two-run homer within the Orioles' second at-bat, Schoop ended McCullers' Major league baseball-best streak of twenty-two scoreless innings and set the Orioles ahead. Schoop's blast traveled 335 ft to Minute Maid Park's Crawford Boxes, based on Statcast?.

"It required me a bit to type of enter the groove," McCullers stated. "Regrettably, they capitalized having a homer there Custom Blue Jays Jersey."

Trailing 3- into the foot of the 2nd inning, Gonzalez and Gurriel adopted just one from Correa along with a walk by designated hitter Carlos Beltran with consecutive doubles to tie the sport at 3. Gonzalez's two-run double and Gurriel's RBI double arrived in almost exactly the same place, deep in Minute Maid's left-center-field corner, plus they kickstarted the Astros' six-run inning.

"Which was clutch," Correa stated. "That is what this team is all about, we never quit. We have been originating from behind all year long lengthy. Hopefully we are able to carry on doing that."

Within the third inning, Evan Gattis arrived at first on the 5-4 fielder's choice. Within the next at-bat, Gonzalez grounded to Jimenez, forcing Gattis to maneuver to second. Before challenging by Hinch around the tag at second, Gattis was eliminated in the game. The phone call was overturned, ruling Gattis safe and Gonzalez on single-6-3 groundout initially base.
