DET at MIN 02 May

Having been to the Metrodome, I can tell you it is NOT a good baseball park. I don't hate the place but it is just.. Dingy, dirty and old. I am sure the Twins won't miss the place. But on the flip side, their new stadium is not going to have a roof. Therein lies the bugaboo. The new stadium will be a hellish place to play for the early spring and late season games. We're talking Minneapolis here. Why not do a retractable roof like Toronto or Milwaukee? Then again, we're also talking Carl Pohlad. Having been an employee of a company that he once had controlling interest in, I can testify to his uhhhh frugal ways. So the new stadium will be a bare bones operation and they'll charge a small fortune for anything and everything. Rant over.

Mr Galarraga not doing too good tonite. 3 runs already and only 3 hits; and none of the hits drove in any of the runs. Tigers on the other hand are pounding the ball and only have 1 run to show for it. That one run being Maggs homer in the 2nd. Thru 5 its 3-1 Twins. Tigers have left 7 on so far. Sorta like they did all thru the first 12 games. Will pick this game up later...
