You are watching the Twins play the Red Sox in Boston on Fox Sports North in the middle of a perfectly beatiful afternoon on your day off.

Sheesh. How the hell did you become a fan of pro baseball? A year ago, you would have considered this a complete waste of time. Of course, a year ago you weren't living in the Twin Cities, and this is the first city you've lived in with a pro baseball team, and people here love their Twinkies.

In fact, you've already attended two games at the Metrodome this season. And you dragged Sweetie along with you for both of them.

On June 18th, you watched the Twins crush the Washington Nationals 11 - 2. When you got to the dome, a scalper offered you two seats on the upper deck right behind the plate. Those seats are usually $21 a pop, but you got them for $10. Plus, Wednesday is Dollar Dome Dog night, so we drank beers and ate hot dogs (covered with mustard and onions) through the game.

On July 2nd, both you and Sweetie had the day off, so Sweetie and you drove down to the MOA. You bought 6-hour passes for you and Sweetie and then rode the train downtown where you watched the Twins destroy the Detroit Tigers 7 - 0. This was your first time riding the Minneapolis light rail.

You even considered buying a Twins baseball cap. In fact, when you got back to the MOA, you shopped for one.

Uhg. When did you start wearing baseball caps?

Sweet! Kubel just crushed one over the Green Monster.
