My wondeful fiancee found an ad on Craigslist last week for a new sports blog in the Twin Cities that was looking for writers to contribute to their website. Thinking this would be a good way to try to get my name out in the blogosphere, Laura encouraged me to contact them and possibly write for them. I sent them this blog and even though I hadn't written in over a month, they liked what they saw and offered me the possibility of writing a weekly column for their website. I finsihed my first article today and it was posted on the website Twinsmix.com for all to read. It was pretty exciting to see something I wrote be on a website not controlled by myself. I should be writing for the Twinsmix site once a week and I might contribute to their Gopher and T-Wolves websites. Maybe something will come of this and maybe not, but it is great fun for me to write about something I love and perhaps a few people will enjoy my words.
Because I will be consistently writing for the other blog, I'm hoping it will get me in a routine where I will not only blog for Twinsmix but also for this wonderful, spicy blog. I will try not to be redundant and only talk about the Twins on the other site. I will try to get back to writing about movies, restaurants, and any other sports that I see fit. I could write five hundred words right now about the current Premier League season but I think a large chunk of my readership (Karl, father) will be bored to tears. Prehaps I will channel my inner Simmons and do a running dialogue this Saturday morning during the four hours I plan on watching the Premier League. Yes, I will be sitting in our living room from 9 until 1:30 watching soccer on Saturday. Laura is wonderful for putting up with this soccer loving bum. She even bought bacon over the weekend so maybe I'll have some of that to go with my soccer. Start liking soccer everyone so I can write about it!
Thank you all who read this blog and I hope you will check out my work at the other website. Even if you don't care about baseball, just skim through it and support the site. Maybe you will be the start of the fan base that grows Twinsmix into a mammoth sports blog and brings me to prominence in sports journalism! Keep reading, I will be back for more on this blog.

Awesome! I checked out the blog and it is very informative. I don't know much about the Twins and interesting and well written. I will definately be checking back.
Thanks and good luck! I hope you have a lot of fun with it.
Congrats, Ross! Very cool! I read your article on Twinsmix, and I agree- Boo Nick Punto!
That anonymous above is Carol (I think)!
Good to see a new blog - finally. I'll check out the other site and spread the word.
