Usually my MO is to procrastinate, but that won't work here. If we want a confetti parade come November, we have to lay down the law now. Who cares that we haven't even reached the All Star break yet?
- They gave us a Series victory in the 80s and one in the 90s. They can't be allowed to skip a decade. We need a World Series victory in the ZeroZeros.
- Torii and Johan have to realize that the grass ain't always greener on the other side.
- Imagine if he got a World Series ring. I think that would be a great way to guarantee that Joe Mauer would be a Twin For Life.
- It is well past time to break up this East Coast death grip on sports championships. Especially the state of Pennsylvania's. Seriously...a World Series, a Superbowl, and a Stanley Cup championship all in 8 months' time? Enough!
- It would be all kinds of fun to drive my husband nuts. I talk baseball so much that I'm sure half the time he just hears, "Blah blah blah." If the Twins won the World Series, I could talk baseball all winter long. Usually he gets a break between the World Series and spring training.
- The Twins have the kewlest blogosphere in all of baseball. If they won, we'd inundate the 'Net to the point that it would probably explode.
- They owe us some big playoff victories after the way they broke our poor hearts in 2004 and 2006.
- They have to send the Dome out in style. Many of us have scant, if any, memories of the old Metropolitan Stadium.
- It would kick ass to go to Twins Fest in January '10 and get our pictures taken with the World Series MVP, whoever it happened to be.
- Think of how completely excellent it would be to go to the 7th game of the Series and watch an extra innings walk-off win. It's the Twins, after all. Nothing is ever easy.
I think those are some pretty dang compelling reasons the Twins owe us a World Series title in '09. We should start shredding newspapers for confetti now.

Great post Tricia and welcome back!!
We need a world series this year...I know a few people saving PTO for this specific reason, myself included (or at least for the playoffs).
Thanks for the space, k-bro. Thanks Katie for the welcome back too. :-) I love when the Twins play interleague games...they do so well at it, and they make the playoffs seem like a real possibility.
I concur! They need to go to the World Series (and win). I wouldn't mind one bit!
Welcome back Tricia! I will start shredding newspapers right away :)
If Blackie keeps throwing complete game shutouts, Tricia's wishes may come true.
And...Buscher?
Very nice. I can agree with all that! (Although I never saw the Twins play at Met Stadium, I do recall standing on the pitcher's mound after an early season Viking's game!) And I know the sadness my dad had when the old Met went away. He kept saying it wouldn't be 20 yrs before people were whining about the Dome.
