Yeah and the "cell" is the crowning jewel of ballparks. :rolleyes:

I like how the only critique of the Twins that Sux fans can come up with is the Metrodome. Hilarious. Our new park will kick all kinds of ass and then you will just have to complain that you _still_ lose to us all the time there and your manager likes our team more than his own. LOLzzzzzz

The Cell is like a masterpiece compared to that shitbox. It's a shame that the Twins weren't contracted a few years back....

Why, so you guys would get some more wins?

In the words of your own manager- "Pfffsshh, please."

Looks like I was correct about the Sux bats cooling off. The Twins are back on top. I must admit I felt mixed emotions as I watched T-HUNTS, one of my favorite former Twinkies, go down looking tonight. Even without T-HUNTS and without Johan, who had another solid performance tonight for the Mets, the Twinks just keep on rollin'.

It's not that I have a hatred for the White Sox or their fans. It's that my first post regarding the White Sox/Twins Pennant chase of the 2006 season was followed by immature, unoriginal, and humorless personal attacks. The banter went back and forth throughout the season ultimately ending in vindication for myself and Twinks fans as the Twins won the division and the Sux hit the links.

What's with AJ's frost? When he flipped his helmet off to make a play, it looked like Aaron Carter was behind the plate. I think we know which team has the better catcher and pitching staff, and clutch hitting (.318 w/ runners in scoring position), and defense, and youth, and manager, and fans. That's right. The Twins.

True. All that, and Contreras is still ugly.

How many rings does Gardsy have? Ozzie has more:) Guess they don't give out banners for better fans, what a shame. Can't really argue with the other shit, but if it makes you feel better, go ahead. I'll take being a 1/2 game out on August 23rd. Plus I'm still high from two nights of drinking, drugs and Eddie solo, so I feel good.

I know I was on here in 2006, can't remember if it ever got personal or not. I usually tend to let those things go in real life, so I can't even begin to remember about an online message board. Maybe if you posted your garble in your own team's thread, you wouldn't get so many unwanted responses. And as for humorless and unoriginal, Sux and calling our players ugly, yea. Woohoo. You slay me.

Gonna be a tough game tonight against Kazmir. He's been struggling a bit lately, so they need to get to him early. Also need a good outing from Vazquez. He's been stellar lately, which makes me nervous cuz he never seems to pitch with good consistency. We shall see.

How do you figure better fans and manager? The stadium is half empty most of the time and the whole franchise was almost CONTRACTED. While Gardy is a very good manager, he still hasn't done shit in the postseason. I'll take Ozzie as my manager any day of the week.

I'm not sure where all of your bitterness towards the Sox and their fans is coming from. I don't hate the twins. They're a huge rival for us and we've been battling for division titles with each other for the past decade. Should be a fun 5 weeks.......

Huge game today. We need this one. Hopin Javy can keep it up like he has the past couple of starts.

Would you want to go inside a "shithole" on a beautiful day to watch baseball? Why do you think our attendance isn't that great? That being said, when the Sux were in town, they averaged more than 30k fans a night all during the week. We're definitely not at the bottom of the league for attendance.

Do you know why we were almost contracted? Our greedy billionaire owner Pohlad was willing to contract the team for a handsome pay day. I don't really think that's our fault. He's the one that could have paid for a stadium out of his own pocket, but had to go to the taxpayers of Minnesota to foot the bill for most of it. It had nothing to do with attendance at all.

The HHH Dome is a joke for both football and baseball. Its a shithole and has no reason to exist anymore.

Ugh, brutal game today. Vazquez pitched awesome until the 8th. Rays just manufactured runs, never hit the ball hard and just drew the walks. And can't blame it all on Thornton, but when you're coming out of the bullpen with bases loaded and no outs, you just can't give up a walk (although Iwamura wasn't doing him any favors fouling off like 7 or 8 pitches). Not one to make excuses about the umps, but he wasn't giving the outside corner all day long, being really tight. Then all of a sudden he rings up Swish in the 8th with a pitch that was easily 4-5 inches off the plate. Even the Fox announcers agreed. I'm going to the game tomorrow, gotta salvage atleast 1 game in this series. Hopefully Buehrle can get it done.

And back to those announcers. I like the start time of these Saturday games, especially going to them cuz you get out around now and can just go hit the bars. But I'm not a fan of having to listen to the Fox announcers. Usually just put on 670 instead. They must have talked about Joe Madden atleast once ever half inning of the entire game. It was obsessive. No doubt he's done a great job and is definitely a front-runner for AL manager of the year, but it just got a little tiresome.

hold on

when I left the house Chitown was up 3-1 and I just got back to this

TB came back again???? u gotta be KIDDIN me! :mad:

Personally, I'd take the Sox over the Cubs, but neither is "my" team.

Sorry pal, but wrong you are.

Was at the game, haven't seen a replay yet, but I definitely think that was a bad call giving AJ 3rd. But if Upton didn't dog it on Quentin's flyball, AJ would have never been able to tag for 2nd anyway. So many situations. Wouldn't say they didn't deserve to win b/c at worst, the game goes into the top of th 11th still tied. But they didn't deserve it there. Was good to see Konerko come up with a clutch hit for once, and the bullpen finally held it down. I'll take it.

And I've seen that shirt before, or atleast that joke. It is pretty funny. Always wondered why the kindergarten teacher would ask a 5 year old about drug dealers and hookers. Must have the smarts of cub fan

Your team has been in first, what, 3 times? And never for more than a day or two.. I thought those youngin's had more stamina.

Apparently the Minnesota Twinkies can't keep it up.

Oh yeah, looks like I'm wrong.


Thanks Sox...you just gave the Cubs the BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL.

which means, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. But you're welcome

And here's a nice little stat for ya, besides last year's Red Sox who were tied for the best record in baseball, not a team this decade has finished the season with the outright best record and won the World Series. So keep it up.
