Overflow Thread 2: Yanks @ Twins

Twins 1, Yankees 2, heading to the bottom of the 7th.
A-Rod and Posada blast solo shots off of a very on-his-game Pavano, who deserves more than he's had returned from his offense.
Due Up: Kubel, Young, Harris

From a fan of The Sox...
GO TWINS!
It was so fun watching the Other Sox lose today. Come on Twins make it doubly fun. Come back and win tonight, come back and win the ALDS!

A proper route by Young would've caught Posada's homer.

but its like he records his commentary before the game even starts.
This year he had like a 3 or 4 month love affair with the sac bunt, and pretty much since the Royals are bad at its why we lost 97 games.

Let me put it another way:
Hypothetical:
The Twins beat the Yankees and go to the ALCS against the Angels.
The Dodgers win the NLCS and you see a bunch of Dodgers fans openly rooting for the Twins to beat the Angels.
Question:
Is that a sign that Dodger fans think the Twins are a weaker team than the Angels?
by Terrekain on Oct 11, 2009 9:36 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Answer:
It doesn’t really matter. It’s all semantics, and it’s the way sports work.
by Jesse on Oct 11, 2009 9:37 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I guess I can leave it at that.
Good game at any rate.
And if the Twins do pull it out, you’ll have a lot of legitimate Red Sox fans on your side – both for going up against the Angels and beating the Yankees.
But Angels fans are a different matter entirely at this point.
Just saying….
by Terrekain on Oct 11, 2009 9:41 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
PS
I’m not trying to insult anybody or the Twins.
But if it were my team, I would not want another team’s fans rooting for my team IF WE WERE PLAYING THAT TEAM THE VERY NEXT ROUND.
No offense to Twins fans or even Angels fans; just the facts.

I think Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau and Joe Nathan and Liriano/Garza/Bartlett ’06 and DSPAN and a buncha luck (see: last year Livan 1st half and BARISP) and Joe Mauer and Joe Mauer and even the Dome have helped win games.

He's been shaky all year.
We need to trade him for value this off-season. And he really really can’t handle the Yankees. Maybe if it was another team.

Metrodome (1982-2009).
1st ever game played, April 6, ’82, Mariners 11, Twins 7
1st Twins victory, April 7, ’82, Twins 7, Seattle 5.
Home to 7 division champions, 2 A.L. champions and 2 World Series champions.
Also home to the Vikings, the 85 MLB All-Star Game, the 92 NCAA Tournamnet, Super Bowl XXVI and the 94 NBA All-Star Game.
The first stadium to attract 3,000,000 fans in the American League (Not the Yankees!)
