From a Sox fan, I'd like to see a winner take all, knock-down, drag-out game to determine the AL Central Champion

I think it would be great entertainment if the Twins and Sox play tomorrow.

Of course, I’d like to see the Sox come out on top, but regardless, it would be fun to watch.

It would be better enertainment for Twins fans

if the game was at the Metrodome. A game on the road to determine the season (especially at USCF) does not sound like fun.

Hopefully Freddy Garcia can remember he used to be a big leauge pitcher so it can be avoided.

As a side note, I think SSS is probably the funniest board on SB Nation.

must be b/c you are a fan of Chicago

you’d think having the Twins travel to Chicago is the best entertainment.

I’m just fine w/ Detroit winning today and not playing Chicago again until 2009

I can see where you are coming from

and in a sense, the knock-down, drag-out games occurred at the Metrodome last week, and we all know how that turned out (doh!).

I think it would be a good game and very entertaining, regardless of outcome.

I would be extremely pumped for a game like that

if it was in the Dome but like you said I think the face to face match has happened.
The Twins have no one to blame but themselves for being in this spot though, if they would have taken care of business w/ KC they could have won the division already

by caluofmn on Sep 29, 2008 2:53 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, same can be said for the White Sox

but such is baseball, I guess.

Rain Delay.

No word on when the game will start.

by matty_b on Sep 29, 2008 2:10 PM EDT   0 recs

of course

Why would this season end smoothly???

by guinness junky on Sep 29, 2008 2:10 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Pure Hypothetical

If MLB could cancel this game and give it to the Sox with the agreement that the playoff would be played in the dome, would you take it.

by guinness junky on Sep 29, 2008 2:14 PM EDT   0 recs

Well,

Since the Sox are most likely going to win today anyway, with Detroit not at full strength and having a joke on the mound, that’s a big yes.

by matty_b on Sep 29, 2008 2:17 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Baseball should bring back the scheduled double headers

Rain outs are only gonna get worse in the coming years…

I hope they have to play two games tomorrow

if they can’t get it done today.

would be fun

but if both teams are there why not let the Tigers and Twins combine their teams for the best lineup and bullpen vs Chicago? Let our powers combine!

Since we have a White Sux fan here offering his own ideas, I thought I’d share one for him/her

by caluofmn on Sep 29, 2008 2:39 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

How's Detroit's bullpen looking this year? ;)

I’d certainly have let the Twins take Todd Jones before he retired.

Man, that would be a hell of a day, a tigers / twins potential double header. Can’t say I’d want that one.

I wonder if MLB would allow that?

but if today’s game is rained out, I don’t see how they don’t allow it.

Maybe MLB will contact the Tigers and Sox to hop on a bus and play in Milwaukee tonight?

Updated.

Thanks for noticing that, how bizarre…

by Jesse on Sep 29, 2008 5:34 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

It also says Whit Sox, but I'm assuming that's intentional

so you guys want the sox to win too right?

nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team

by colintj on Sep 29, 2008 2:38 PM EDT   0 recs

only so we can beat them a fourth time in a row

but watching them choke on a 1-6 record to end their season and miss the playoffs would be fine too.

About as much

Hey doesn't SSS have no trolling policy?

I guess it doesn’t apply when it’s Chicago fans being the Trolls

by caluofmn on Sep 29, 2008 2:43 PM EDT   0 recs

Eh. It's kinda fun.

They’re not really being dicks or anything.

by matty_b on Sep 29, 2008 2:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

yeah it's their game after all

true

and yet they want to talk about it on the Twins site?

by caluofmn on Sep 29, 2008 2:47 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

by that I mean, let them stay

We have a dome. We finished our season on time.

was just passing through

good luck, regardless of the outcomes of the game today, and the potential one tomorrow

thank you sir!

i do hope you lose just to make it easier on us, but stay healthy!

by Jesse on Sep 29, 2008 5:35 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Speaking of which...

I was wondering today – if there is a 1-game playoff, how do they handle champagne arrangements? Do both teams go halvesies on one playoff-champagne spread, or does each team get one, with the losers donating theirs to the homeless, or what?

Lets go Tigers.

Let us go into the playoffs, Everybody Join the Tigers Blog and Root Along with them.

by Tony_O on Sep 29, 2008 4:30 PM EDT   0 recs

which Tigers blog?

not enough chatter here

by caluofmn on Sep 29, 2008 4:37 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I convinced my boss

to give me the rest of the day off when this game starts. Unfortunately the weather has decided that I’m wokring all day today.

by matty_b on Sep 29, 2008 4:43 PM EDT   0 recs

question

do I watch the WGN telecast and maybe enjoy hearing Hawk and DJ cry at a loss or play it safe and watch ESPN HD?

by caluofmn on Sep 29, 2008 5:03 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Well

then you have to hear Steve Phillips, who is probably the worst commentator ever. How that guy was a GM blows my mind.

by matty_b on Sep 29, 2008 5:03 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

The stock market just dropped 800 points

probably because they can’t figure out when this game is gonna start

by natetheskate on Sep 29, 2008 5:01 PM EDT   0 recs

haha seriously

in 20 years they’ll be telling us we need to finance a dome, because “everyone else has one”

I can't wait until the Twins have a Dome

they could call it something like the MetroDome and give it a dome the same color as a baseball to trick visiting teams

by caluofmn on Sep 29, 2008 5:06 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

700 billion Dome dogs

for all the fans b/c fans can’t go to the game b/c the price of Dome dogs…

fine print though is all 700 billion Dome dogs will go to the luxury suites

by caluofmn on Sep 29, 2008 5:04 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Whee!

We’re starting!

This version of Gary Sheffield

Should not be batting 2nd.

by matty_b on Sep 29, 2008 5:10 PM EDT   0 recs

not sure I agree with Sheff batting 2nd...

only second basemen can bat second

Come on MAGS

I can’t believe I’m cheering for the Tigers
