It is finally baseball season! It might be snowing here in Minnesota, but baseball is on!

The Twins won tonight 3-2 over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Hernandez got the start for the Twins. He pitched seven good innings. He is not the strike-out pitcher like Johan Santana, but he is a seasoned veteran. Pat Neshek had a good eight inning and then it was time for the Joe Nathan show! Nathan had two strikeouts and one ground out to finish the game.

The real hero of the game in my opinion was Carlos Gomez. Gomez took the place of Torii Hunter in center field, and boy did he tonight! Gomez had two hits, two runs and two stolen bases! He looks to be a great pickup for the Twins!

It could not have been scripted any better. A starting pitcher goes seven innings, go to the Twins amazing bench (maybe the best in the Major League), and go to the best closer in the Major League. Here's to the Twins first win of many this year!

I was going through ColdFusionBloggers.org tonight when I came upon a post by Rob Rohan on Play Old School Nintendo Games Online. I usually don't like to blog about a blog, but this is awesome!

Someone has written an emulator in Java for 100s of Nintendo (NES) games! Check it out at http://nintendo8.com/toplist/more/.

My favorite game from the Nintendo was Mega Man 2, and a close second was The Legend of Zelda. And, yup, he has them on there!

Now don't spend too much time playing these at work. Well, there are always Fridays, and those don't really count as work days...

I think everyone has seen Despair.com and their hilarious demotivators. My brother and I are huge fans of them. The other day my brother emailed me one that he put together. It is a phrase that my dad always has said to us. Now it is a demotivator. Enjoy!

As some of you already know, I am from New Ulm, MN. Something I have not blogged about yet, is that my parents own a Bed and Breakfast in New Ulm, called the Deutsche Strasse Bed and Breakfast. It is German for "German Street", because that is the street they live on.

They have owned it for almost 10 years now, and have had a great time with their guests and updating the house to its extremely beautiful appearance. The house is a huge Victorian built in the late 1880's with hard wood floors throughout.

They have five rooms, each with a private bath, and two with whirlpool tubs! The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are nicely decorated.

My mom cooks all the breakfasts, and is an excellent chef. Bring your appetite when staying there, as breakfast is a four course meal.

You can see their site here at http://www.deutschestrasse.com and they have a new blog you can find at http://www.deutschestrasse.com/blog/client/index.cfm.

If you are in the Southern Minnesota area, and need a place to stay, I would encourage you to stay at the Deutsche Strasse B&B!

Last night (tonight still I guess), we traveled to the Twin Cities and went to The Fray concert! They sure do put on a great show! They were at the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis. We were definitely part of the older people in the crowd. I had no idea The Fray had such a young following.

The Minneapolis StarTribune has an article ripping on The Fray. I think the crowd was young, but who are the people that listen to music the most? People 20-30 years old! Also, the entire band didn't do alot to get the crowd involved, but the crowd was involved enough already. And yes, The Fray has only two big hits and one album released, but that entire album has great music on it and they played three new songs too.

I do think that The Fray would be best seen in a smaller venue because of the type of music they play and because of the type of guys that are in the band. Their music to me, seems to fit a "sit-down" type environment.

Anyway, we had a great time! If you are a Fray fan or even if you are not, I would recommend going to one of their concerts!
