    Oh nooooo!!! Not the blackout!!!!! I think it's in honor of the game's winning pitcher...Nick BLACKburn.

    Worked so well for Georgia on Saturday....OH SNAP!

    Whoop whoop! Let's go Blackburn!
    Come on, homeboy got hit in the FACE with a Bobby Abreu line drive in June and didn't even miss a start. He is all that is man. Twins won that game too, by the way. :)

    I would have given the ChiSox no chance if this game was at the Twins. But since they lucked out and it's at U.S. Cellular field, I think they have a very good shot at winning today.

    Does either team want to win the AL Central? You wouldn't think so looking at how each team fared in the final regular season series (both at home, no less).

    The Twins have nobody to blame but themselves for this situation. They blew at least 8 games in late July-early September they should have won easily. Remember that fiasco in Seattle where they blew a 6-0 lead in the 7th? All those "it's just one game" comments from the team afterwards ring a little hollow now don't they?

    What's with all these "I hate Twinkie" signs? It's always funny to see the opposing team's fans think "Twinkie" is some kind of original insult. Around here "Twinkie" is as much of a term of endearment as anything.

    I don't expect much from boorish White Sox fans but still.

    Indeed. I love my Twinkies more than just about anything. :)

    Fuck the Sox and fuck their stupid neanderthal fans. I'm so sick of postseasons made up of teams from the coasts and or Chicago. Whoop did shit Bitch Sox, you spent ass loads of money to buy free agents and they hit homeruns for you. Have fun getting swept by the Rays!

    P.S. The Twins didn't lose the season tonite, they lost when they couldn't win 1 more fucking game in August.

    I'll take Kirby anyday over any Sox player past or present. He came up with an organization and played here his whole career. The Sox are made up almost entirely of trades or free agents who have money thrown at them to play in the 3rd biggest fucking market in the country.

    Its always more fun to make the playoffs than not at all. I dont want to call it out but you need to come with a little more accuracy with your facts. You seem to know very little about sports. Im the Schwab dont forget it!!

    Wow.. no respect at all. Way to be a sore loser. I would have congratulated the Twins if they won..

    And you're "sick of Chicago teams making the playoffs"?.. Was that sarcasm?


    You should be proud. The Twins and the Sox weren't expected to do anything this year. It was supposed to be Detroit and Cleveland.

    I dont know if you knew already but, the white sox won a world series in 05'. Check the salaries then, please, and get back to me. Also went 11-1 in playoffs/WS that year. Im done with non-educated sports fans. goodnight.
