I am wondering if 1 or 2 others would be interested in splitting the cost of 2 partial season twins tickets (20 games). They offer two different schedule packages and they are fairly reasonably priced. I am looking into seeing what kind of seating is left but is anyone interested in going to 6-10 twins games this year or maybe 5 games (4 people)?

My mother in law is taking the wife and baby (and me sometimes) to most of the day games this year on their season tickets so I won't be able to go in with you
What works for me is to just tell Luke he is participating

I would be in for a few games (2 tickets or 4 with Brad/Amy maybe). We have a 20 game package here at work that I might get a couple games of - but I can't be sure.

Twins return to Fox Sports Net Fans can watch games beginning Saturday in Oakland By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com
The Twins and Fox Sports Net North announced a new 8-year agreement to carry games on the cable channel Friday night. The move means the end of the club's attempt to launch its own cable network, Victory Sports One, which will be dissolved. "It's good news for Twins fans, that's all that matters," Twins president Dave St. Peter said. "In recent weeks, it became apparent that we needed to respond to fans and get the games back on television where they belong."
Financial terms of the deal were not announced.
FSN will begin its coverage by carrying Saturday and Sunday's 3 p.m. CT games vs. the Athletics and Tuesday's home game vs. the Mariners. The rest of the television schedule will be released in the coming days, St. Peter said.
KSTC-TV, Channel 45 will continue to carry selected Twins games on over-the-air television on Friday nights. Dick Bremer and Bert Blyleven will remain the club's broadcasters for all locally televised games.
Victory went on the air in October and was to carry Twins games and other regional sports programming. It struggled to reach cable or satellite distribution agreements right away. It was only carried by providers in smaller towns, but not by outlets in the Twin Cities metro area.
"We could sense the frustration from the fans," Bremer said. "They wanted to see the games."
Fox Sports Net North reaches more than three million homes throughout the Upper Midwest. The club's previous agreement expired after the 2003 season.
"We've been talking throughout the entire process, making sure we kept an open dialogue with the Twins," said Steve Woelfel, vice president and general manager of Fox Sports Net North.
Friday's announcement comes with mixed emotions for the club.
"It's certainly a difficult decision for the Pohlad family and the whole organization," St. Peter said. "Victory had a great vision. But the short-term need to get the games on television outweighed the long-term interests of Victory. It was not an easy decision, but the right decision."

About bloody time. Fox was always their best bet. They could've saved themselves a lot of headaches and bad publicity by doing this in the first place.
