If we're going to get into the money debate

It’s always going to go back to the fact that teams with a lot of money have it because of the strength of the fans behind the organization. We just buy more merchandise and tickets than you guys. And some owners like to pocket everything their team makes instead of spending it like George does, because he cares about the game and wants to win some championships.

Well,

I’m pretty much numb to all emotion right now. Be it from the stress of the game, or the large quantities of booze that I’ve shoveled down my gullet, I do not know. I am praying to all known god’s in the diety-sphere that we can pull the game out. This means much more than a game to me. I’ve spent these 12 innings pondering my life, mistakes that I’ve made, and where the desicions in my life have taken me to this point, and if any of that was enough to be punished by having to have 10 years taken off my life tonight.

But other that….WHOOO GO TWINS

Delmon Young taking an intentional walk. I’ve seen Alexi Casilla drop a single into right field. All those moments will be lost in time, like baseballs in the Metrodome roof. Time… for playoffs.
