Minnesota Sports Filled Weekend

Well it is another sports filled weekend.

The Vikings play the tough running Pittsburgh Steelers. They got some bad news yesterday with four players getting misdemedors, but the Vikings need to stop the Steelers running game to win this game and play tough defense againest the future hall of famer Hines Ward. The Vikings also need some help this week from other teams.

• New England to win.
• Kansas City to win.
• Washington to win.
• Atlanta to win.
• New Orleans to win.

Prediction Vikings loose a heartbreaker.

The Timberwolves play the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday and really need a win. Since winning 6 straight they have lost the last 3. They need a win and have come close in the past 3 games and need to start a winning streak again.

Prediction Wolves win.

The Wild play Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night and need a win. If they don't starting winning it's going to be a fire sale coming and you might see some of th players let go. I went to th Boston Bruins game last night and the Wild played hard but they just can't score.

Prediction Wild win

Minnesota Twins News:

Well I like the Tony Batista pickup. You might ask why I say he is 32 and hits for power has good clutch numbers and plays some defense. His defense might be a little better than Cuddyers but his power numbers batting are way better. I would like to see the Twins go after Mike Piazza or Frank Thomas and lets go play some ball. My dream lineup looks like this so far:

Shannon Stewart LF
Luis Castillo 2B
Joe Mauer C
Mike Piazza DH
Justin Morneau 1B
Torri Hunter CF
Tony Batista 3B
Michael Cuddyer RF
Jason Bartlett SS

Bench
Mike Redmond C
Lew Ford OF
Nick Punto IF
Luis Rodriguiz IF
Jason Kubel OF
