Can't stand watching any games on Fox9, terrible camera-angle for the pitches, why off-center, and terrible announcers

Oh Man GC is going to get a pants tent when he sees that Dink!!!

Got in couple items. My first game used item from Target Field first season with TF logo. Ball was is authticated to both a JJ Hardy single rbi, then a D Span double rbi. Win vs Texas on Sept 3. Also was Matt FOX mlb debut game. Also my first Ben auto. Seems he just prints his name. Is that how he still signs?

Yeah I think he brought it up before that he was going to go for it but forgot. Got it for a steal I think too. Here is an auto I got from Revere at TwinsFest this year...

That's funny--pants tent--I'm not familiar withthat one. But I'm okay. I already have a Dink Gold. And a few of his buddies...

Nice super :shock: One day I hope to own one of a Twins player, preferably Span. Still have never even seen one.

No one has a better Dink collection than GC. Man that is nice. Is their a red and orange left for rainbow? Ever see red come up for sale? Sadly it doesn't look like the Dink will ever get a MLB call up with Twins. Would be nice if he has a big year in Rochester that Twins give him a Sept. call up and reward him for all years in organization. But with Revere and Benson already past him, and Dink not being on 40 man. They probably won't.

The drunken Dinkleman chant will always live with me.

(Twins vs. Cardinals for the second game at Target Field, which was the first game for the Twins. Dinkleman was playing and and bunch of drunk guys thought his name was cool and shouted "DINKLEMAN! DINKLEMAN!" Over and over late in the game. I have been a fan ever since)

^^sorry for the randomness, I just came in to ask a question.

Over the past week, I have accumulated about $70 in wax (thanks to price cuts and K-Mart rewards card, I paid a grand total of $36 for it) and I just wanted to know if any of you guys want some stuff from it. I know that some products have some of your PC players in them and figured you can have first shot at them. Below is what I am breaking (some more than others)

Signature Stars
'09 Icons
'08 Heroes
'09 Timeline
'09 UDX
(Might be some '10 BC too, but I doubt it will be anymore than what I have here)

QFT :lol:

Sorry Greg, I just couldnt resist. :D

Bump, set, spike! Can't blame you. Got the Super from Bo--of course--and it still holds a special place in my collection. He hasn't had any other cards but minor league stuff since then, so there's still room to have it grow. Everybody needs to have their Dink collection get bigger. ;)

The Twins converted him from 2B to outfield, but you never know. All it takes is for someone to go down, and he's here. If he has a good season, I think he could get a cup of coffee in September. He's always been around in Spring Training late, so I think the Twins like him and want to see him improve at each level--typical Twins style of player development. He's from my hometown--well, my high school (Centralia, IL) his hometown is Irvington, a lil' speck of a town south of us. Close enough for me to be a collector.

TBTwinsfan--I can use Timeline singles--the high number stuff is awful to track down. PM me what you have, since my need list is huge.

If the Dink does get a shot and does something. Everyone will be looking to get a card of him. GC could make some big cash on him if he wanted.

Looks like Tosoni could be in line for a call up Not even sure what position Twins have him at now. Numbers look good. Kyle Gibson starting slow. Would love to see him autos drop under $10.

Swarzak looked really good. The announcers kept saying how much better he has looked this year compared to last year, and also that he's throwing a lot harder. That has to be a good sign. Not sure if he would ever get another chance with us, but you can never have too much talent. We need some on this team.

Drove down from Philly and went to the game last night in Baltimore. Who needs Mauer or Morneau when you have Drew Butera?

I think the Twins found a new set-up man. Hoey's stuff looked filthy. Stadium was kind of empty, but no better place to take kids to get a ball in BP.

We were in the left field bleachers, but the Twins have a pretty heavy left-handed lineup and we weren't getting much action. About halfway through BP, Perkins grabbed a ball and walked it over to my son who was standing at the wall near the foul pole. Made the day of that little 8 year-old.

With about 5 minutes left in BP, Repko grabbed a ball and eyeballed my 10 year-old who was standing next to my son. He underhanded the ball from around 20-25 feet and to my amazement, my daughter held onto it. Very cool. Here's a pic of the two of them.
