By the time most of you read this, it will be over. It will have come and gone just that quickly. And hopefully, I will be happy. More than likely, I won’t be. Of course, I’m talking about my fantasy baseball draft. On Tuesday night, I will sit down and scour over rosters, scouting reports [...]

Who wins the World Series?

When the season began, I thought the Detroit Tigers had a good team. Were they going to win the World Series? I didn’t think so. But I figured they would run away with the American League Central Division. On the other hand, I didn’t think the San Francisco Giants had a prayer. Sure, they had [...]
Can it get worse for the Twins? Absolutely

I’m sure many Twins fans won’t agree with me. But this season can get much, much worse. I know, it seems like they’ve hit rock bottom. And they have — for now. But this is just the beginning. More on that later. For now, I want to focus on the last two games. Minnesota is [...]

Here are a few photos from the “sports extravaganza” weekend my friend Mark and I had. It started with the Worthington High School choir singing the National Anthem Saturday afternoon and ended with the drive home Sunday night.
What a weekend

It’s funny how it works. When you’re looking forward to something for so long, it’s hard to believe it’s over so quickly. That’s how this weekend was for me. I had been targeting this weekend for quite some time. Why? Because I hadn’t seen my former college roommate in way too long. And this was [...]
A sports-filled weekend

By the time this post goes live on my blog, I’ll already have Worthington in my rear-view window. I’m not leaving for good, but rather for the weekend. And what a weekend it’s going to be. I’m meeting one of my best friends — a former college roommate — this weekend for what’s going to [...]
Twins home opener

Yes, I was there. And yes, it was cold. The scoreboard in right field said game-time temperature was 45. I had to take a picture to prove it. I had the good fortune of being able to acquire a ticket last week. One of my friends had an extra and asked if I wanted to [...]
Last report from Twins’ spring training
Posted: 5th April 2012 by Aaron Hagen in UncategorizedTags: baseball, sports, spring training, twins
I received a final report from my uncle, Marlin Berkland, from Minnesota Twins’ spring training. The Twins will open their season on Friday night at Baltimore. From my uncle late Wednesday night: The boys head north to Baltimore today. The game today was against the Miracle (Twins’ A level team). As you can see, there [...]
Opening day in Fort Myers

I received another update from my uncle on Sunday. While he’s from the Twin Cities, he is currently spending time in Fort Myers, Fla., for Twins’ spring training. He has been sharing photos and stories with me. This most recent batch comes from the Twins’ opener on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays. [...]
A report from spring training
Posted: 28th February 2012 by Aaron Hagen in UncategorizedTags: baseball, sports, spring training, twins
I look outside and it’s cold and raining. That rain has formed a nice layer of ice on my car. Even though we haven’t received the snow we thought we were, the weather is bad enough for me. However, I received an e-mail from my uncle, Marlin, giving me an “unofficial” report from spring training. [...]
