Orioles 3, Twins 2 (11 innings)
We woke up early yesterday morning and set out for Minneapolis. We stopped at a Hardee's in Janesville WI where we found out, much to our astonishment that the kitchen had to be reminded to put butter on their butter buscuits.
First stop was here. I spent some time in one of those odd looking water massage units and I have to say that it was money well spent. We took the Minneapolis rail system from the mall downtown to the
Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, home of the Minnesota Twins. I admit to being a little leery of this part of the trip. After all, this is a place of horrors for Braves fans that remember the 1991 World Series. We had great seats in the left field corner on the first row, and wouldn't you know it, the first game on the trip that is sandwiched in between long rides went into extra innings. We decided to leave in the top of the 11th, but were still in the building when Miguel Tejada hit the go-ahead homer in the top of the inning. Today is an R&R day in Chicago after arriving back at our hotel at 5 AM CDT.
