Trying (and failing) to be philosophical about this

It's either this or kick the furniture. (I choose kicking the furniture.)

In the end...

…for all my negativity I find myself wishing they’d won and I feel sad that they lost.

Go get ’em next year Twins!

…and to the White Sox? See you at home in a week, cuz you’re 3 and out!

Dear Firpo, looks like my stock is fine.

This is so hard to deal with...

I wouldn’t have been that upset if it was the playoffs. Sure I’d love to see them in the WS, but had the Twins at least made it there, I would have felt there was a true reason for the season.

What makes it harder is that we should have locked it up on Saturday, and we missed several chances with six blown games in August.

Five games would have been a hell of a lot easier than just one game…

Great Season Twins

Glad to see the two underdogs fighting it out in the end. It could have easily been either one of us.

See you all next year (wouldn’t be surprised if the circumstances are the same in 09)

The way I look at it:

This game was a battle for one of two positions:

1) The chance to get stomped on by the Rays.

2) The chance to laugh at the team who gets stomped by the Rays.

It’s a win-win…sort of.

Yep

A team that can’t beat the Mariners, A’s or Royals doesn’t deserve the postseason.

"I don't care about [players' feelings]," manager Ozzie Guillen said before the game. "They don't care about mine. I never heard any player come to me and say, 'How are you feeling today?' Only my wife told me this morning, 'How do you feel?' I feel fine."
