I hate Guillen with all of my being...
and I think the Royals treat DeJesus like shit, even though he is arguably their 3rd best player.

That's not in the cards
I’d just hate to see him as a Mariner for his sake.
As much as he smiles for the cameras, the guy can’t stand Ichiro (and neither can I).
Wow.
WTF. DO THEY KNOW WHAT THE HELL THIS GAME MEANS?!?!?!?

the twins are scared of these guys
well, not blackie or pavano
LNP
will get a chance for redemption….and deliver
After this game is over, I'll do a post of my favorite highlights of the Twins history.
Next year, the Twins will celebrate 50 years in Minnesota. Look for it.
My name is Finlay, and I love to fight!
This is just heartbreaking.
I clearly have invested too much time and too much emotion into this team this year.

Maybe he can take Ted Williams spot in cyrongenics west (AZ)

Really a class act, great close, just wish I didn’t have to see him get ripped by the Yankees – and inevitable, by Twins fans.

I cannot hate an announcer more, and that includes Hawk.
no, I'd rather listen to Hawk than these announcers.
and I’d rather listen to Hawk than hear any more of this verbal fellating of the effing Yankees.

I’d like to see it end with a tough loss and not a total implosion.
Angels in 2002
Yankees 2003,2004
As 2006.
I kind of knew this was going to happen
…giving the deflating circumstances in the bottom of the 8th.
no one really wins, though.

Go oddly quiet. It’s almost like they’ve suddenly realize that the triumphalist history and ghost-laden legacy legacy legacy storyline they’ve shoved down throats is fucking hollow as shit in the face of the real emotion on (non) display in the dome stands. Not that I’m a fan of Twins fans in general, but I’ll take ’em in a heartbeat over Skankee douchery.
Twins fans....
the Twins mean a lot to their fans. They don’t have a crazy payroll and can’t buy tons of good players. Our team plays with heart, and where they come from means a lot to them.
"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
That's what I meant.
They’re rubes, by and large, and not very informed, but Skankee fans (in general) are so much worse.

I actually disagree with that.
I think Twins fans know a lot more about their system than a lot of fans do. At least the ones I know.
"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
There are smart Twins fans, yes.
Have you been to the Dome and sat next to the fatties? I can’t take it. I don’t remember EVER ending up near anyone whose in game did anything but make me want to vomit.

I knew Gomez would get sat for one bad baserunning mistake
even though the good he does (ie being the best CF in baseball) outweighs the bad
http://twinkietalk.com
http://thecollegehockeyblog.com
But in a one run game
You wouldn’t want to pull Kubel for Gomez. I know Kubel is struggling but I’d still rather have his bat up in the 9th just for the potential.
Since the '91 World Series, there has been...
1998: Vikings lose NFC championship loss to Falcons
2000: Vikes get crushed 41-0 to Giants in NFC championship
2002: Twins lose ALCS to Angels
2003: Wild loses West Final to Ducks
2003: Yankees lose ALDS to Yankees
2004: T-Wolves lose West Finals to Lakers
2004: Twins lose ALDS to Yankees
2006: T-Wolves lose ALDS to Oakland
2007: KG traded to Boston, Celtics win NBA finals later that year
2008: Wild win Northwest Division, eliminated in 1st round
2009: Twins swept by Yankees in ALDS.
Looks like the Twin Cities’ last hopes for a World Championship are:
A Timberwolf team that won 25 games last year and a Viking team with an aging Brett Favre.
Well, what do you think?
My name is Finlay, and I love to fight!
My favorite Metrodome highlight was on 10/26/87
When the Twins defeated St. Louis to win the World Series.
Here’s the link to Sports Illustrated’s coverage of Minnesota baseball’s finest hour:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1066633/index.htm
85 wins never looked so great!
My name is Finlay, and I love to fight!
yeah, so?
I’d rather have heartbreaking losses than never win. See Detroit Lions, KC Royals, etc, etc.
haha
yeah…though the heartbreaking part is really…painful. :(

Hey I supported the KG trade.
I wanted to give him a chance to earn a ring. I felt the same way about Santana. I kind of feel that way about Mauer and Morneau but they’re young enough we should keep them longer.
we need some Angels magic here...
"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
Rally Bonfire!
Let’s go Twins!
Let’s hit five consecutive home runs!
Let’s get hit in the balls with foul balls!

You know what it's time for, Twins fans??!?
FIVE CONSECUTIVE HOME RUNS!!!!
"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
well folks this might be the last half inning of the Dome
let’s make it count…so it’s not the last half inning of the Dome…
Cuddy, Kubel, Young
We have to go with those 3…no pinch hitters please. But it’d be fitting for Delmon to end the season. He’s a hack for 150 games of the year
Percy Harvin is my dealer.
I know it is early but I want to get this in:
You Twins fan rule. And your team has had an awesome season. There is nothing to be upset about here. I’m gonna beg you guys not to turn on your team if you don’t score three runs against Mo. Your team is really good and did some incredible things. It’s been fun hanging with you guys.
turn on our team?
never. :)
"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
Two reasons
1) I like the “other guy’s” perspective
2) Too much blatant homerism at pinstripeally right now, calling it “over” and such
thanks for being so respectful
it’s been fun-ish.

Rivera is really good. Everyone knew that, but wow, he is really showing it (especially against Mauer and Kubel).
he really is.
as a baseball fan he’s amazing to watch. he’s like a surgeon.
as a twins fan….i just wish we could score some runs!!
I hate to say this
but Delmon vs. Rivera is NOT gonna be pretty.
AWESOME! I totally get to watch the fan on the field on the TBS four corner mlb.com thing!
nice. Back to your regular scheduled programming: fisting!
http://twinkietalk.com
http://thecollegehockeyblog.com
clearly a crazy yankee fan
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
Streak continues
This will be the Twins 8th straight postseason defeat at home. The 9th postseason defeat overall. They have lost 16 of their last 18 postseason games after taking game one of the ALCS vs the Angels in 2002. 16 of 18 WOW!!!!!!!!!!
how many teams haven't played 18 games in the post season
in that time period?
Ok
let’s just trade our team for the Orioles then. I’m sure we would all be so excited for baseball. Geez I know losing sucks, but this is not the end of the world.
THANKS TWINS FOR A GREAT SEASON!!!!
maybe he will throw rivera out of wack
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
Mo needs to stay loose
in case there is more fisting.
Why am I getting involved?
you can't help it.

Caray can't wait to talk about the Red Sox/Yankees ALCS

Meh, 2006 still burns like fire.
That was the YEAR. The Yankees beaten by someone else, the super comeback, two awesome pitchers, Radke with one arm. We should have mortgaged the future that year. I’ll never quite forgive them for that, I think it emotionally scared me.
yeah, 2006 was tough too.
any loss is going to be hard, but having MVP, batting champ, and Cy Young winner should ensure at least a WS shot.

I miss the Hefty Bag already.
I liked it! And I’m a cheap-ass mofo! I always bought the cheap seats even for the playoffs so I lived in the nosebleed section.
always had the most fun in the cheap seats.

BTW, thank you Mr. Pohlad.
For keeping the Twins here, and bringing home a winner. You’ll be missed.
My name is Finlay, and I love to fight!
My one and only time at the Dome was a game I think back in 02
I think it was Radke who pitched
And Luis freakin’ Rivas hit a walk off home run in the 10th inning to to win
good times

And we can thank Mr. Pohlad for this great new ballpark
and saving the team from relocation back in ’84, which turned into 2 World Series titles, 2 A.L. crowns and 7 A.L. Division titles.
Thank you Mr. Pohlad, for making Minnesota a baseball state. You will be missed.

You're so wrong...
We can thank Mr. Pohlad for bending the state over his knee because he didn’t want to shill out a single dime for this new ballpark. We can thank him that even when the legislature voted for funding an outdoor stadium he didn’t have the decency to say “And I’ll put the roof on it.”
This is a man who made his fortune foreclosing on people in the great depression. The only thing I’m thankful for is he’s gone now and we can stop hearing people with short memories talk about how the Twins always manage to get things done on a budget because of their small market limitations. Bullshit. Pohlad squeezed every single cent out of the Twins during the 90’s and threatened to move the team to NC when fans didn’t react well to him clearing out every player who made more than 5.50 an hour (excluding Radke). He basically volunteered us for contraction because he would’ve personally gotten a sweet buyout deal from the other owners.
Mourn the fact that he made us live through the 1990’s and the fact that he probably passed on his same ‘charming’ personality to the next generation of Pohlads, but don’t mourn that man passing, on; it was long overdue.

Daniel Louden?
I love you. Well, not really, but I love what you just said. My “…really?” was basically all of that, summed up.

I was truly pulling for the Twins, you guys have a very good team.
And in case it hasn’t been stated enough ’Go f&ck yourself NY".
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
I think I've said this 100 times in the past week...
but I really love Angels fans.
