GO TWINS!!!!

[VermontDem2004]

They are on TV right now, I hope they beat the Yankees, I HATE EM!!!!

[shockingelk]

1. Thanks for the heads up!

I forgot to see what time the game was.

[VermontDem2004]

3. ESPN

in case you didn't know.

[shockingelk]

7. not a TV guy

Am trying to listen to it on the radio. Shhhh!

[mac56]

8. Down here in NE Georgia

I can pick it up in Spanish on AM radio. Pretty cool!

[Brucey]

2. Twins will win, 6 to 5.

(I hope!)

[HuckleB]

4. Tripleheader TODAY!

Play Ball! October is the greatest month in Sports.

[CPschem]

5. After today

the Twins will be 0 and 8 against the Yanks this season.

[mac56]

6. Really?

We'll see.

[HuckleB]

9. Twins up 1-0!

.

[Red_Storm]

10. All you Yankee Haters keep posting .......

Especially those from places with no professional sports teams like Vermont......I guess bird watching gets a little boring after a while.....

[mac56]

11. Red, Red, Red.....

Is Steinbrenner your uncle or something?

[VermontDem2004]

13. I live in Mesa

We have the Cardinals, the D'backs, the Suns, the Coyotes, the Sun Devils all in my area.

[HuckleB]

15. I'm sorry to hear that.

Just kidding. (Though I admit to being very happy that I am an ex-Valley of the Sun resident.)

[VermontDem2004]

17. Nothing to be sorry about

I love it here, I recently bought tickets to watch the Trojans get slaughtered by the Sun Devils this Saturday. :evilgrin:

[HuckleB]

21. You mean like they slaughtered the Beavers last weekend?

;)

Hey, I got see that one in person, so I've gotta say something.

[VermontDem2004]

27. I seen that one too

The Sun Devils made too many mistakes in that game. In the third quarter they got to the Oregon State 20 yard line three consecutive times and managed to come up with three points, they even got to the three yard line, it was 4th and one at the three, they go for it a fail. They recently found their running game with Hakim Hill and did he good against a team who has a great Rush defense, 6 out of 10 times ASU would of won that game. I think by game 5 of this week they will stop making careless mistakes and pull out with the W.

[HuckleB]

34. Maybe.

But they're going to be playing one angry USC team, so I've got my doubts.

[VermontDem2004]

36. Well since I am going to be at the game

they will win, the Sun Devils are undefeated when I show up at Sun Devil Stadium, I had season tickets for the 1997 Season when they went undefeated in the regular season and I got tickets to the NAU game earlier this year and they won. Is it just a coincidince? I think not. lol.

[HuckleB]

38. Hmm.

NAU? Now that was a tough one, wasn't it?

;)

Hey, my two BS degrees are from NAU. I'm allowed to put them down. Besides, the 'Jacks pounded PSU up here in Portland a week later!

[VermontDem2004]

41. Yeah

they are undefeated in division 1-AA Football. Their QB looked good when I seen him and he was only a freshman, he has a promising career with the Jacks imo.

[HuckleB]

16. Yeah!

If you're in the sticks, stay there!

[JohnKleeb]

56. hes from Arizona

[shockingelk]

46. TWINS UP 3-0! n/t

[mac56]

48. Torii Hunter hits a triple, LeCroy scores -

Hunter legs it out to score too!

Woo hoo!

[LisaM]

12. I'm pissed off at the Twins, though I hate the Yankees too.

They are moving the Michigan/Minnesotar football game for the second year in a row (the Gophers and Twins share a venue.) Why on EARTH is Michigan playing there two years in a row, and who gave the Twins the right to manipulate a college football schedule? The Gophers should have been forced to keep the day and change the stadium, as Michigan requested.

I'm rooting for Boston!

[VermontDem2004]

14. Hey Red_Storm

Do you remember this? :evilgrin:

[HuckleB]

20. Hey --

I don't like the Yankees, but I despise the Snakes even more. Colangelo makes Steinbrenner look like a nice guy by comparison. Besides, the debt the Snakes took on to win that one Series will hobble the team for years.

[VermontDem2004]

23. What is so bad about Colangelo?

It isn't like he is going out to buy whoever this year's mvp is this offseason. I like the Snakes because I waited a long time to have a baseball team here.

[HuckleB]

26. Do you know the history of his backroom deals?

To force the new basketball arena and baseball stadium down the taxpayers throats? Sorry, but Colangelo is a scumbag. I know a lot of people down there who refuse to root for either the Snakes or the Suns for just that reason.

[VermontDem2004]

29. Not really

But it is possible to root for the team and not the owner, I HATE BIDWELL but I don't hate the Cards and continue to root for them.

[HuckleB]

31. Well, good for you.

On the other hand, I find it difficult to square support for a team whose owner gives no mind to the community.

Arizona has gotten the shaft when it comes to pro-sports owners, but there's only one way to stand up and change things. Stop rooting for and supporting the teams.

OK. My sermon is over.

Back to the game.

Cheers!

[VermontDem2004]

33. Can you tell me more about how he shafted taxpayers

for America West Arena and BoB?

[HuckleB]

37. Both stories are similar.

Regarding BOB, there was an actual citizen vote against it. In both cases, he went to the state, to the city of Phoenix, and to the county. It was clear that popular sentiment was against taxpayer funding for those venues. So he was turned down repeatedly. In both cases, he ended up getting his way by waiting until the wee hours of the morning, when the citizens had gone home, and then took aim at county commissioners (who are complicit, I agree). He is, much like George Bush, a man made out of taxpayer subsidies that he had no right to obtain. There are dozens of stories floating around the Valley regarding his sleaziness. You might have some fun seeking them out.

[playahata1]

40. And he gave meeting-room space at Bank One Ballpark

to a group of former major league players who are against abortion.

[mac56]

18. Two runners on, two outs, Giambi's up -

and no runners score!

Still 1-0 Twins!

[HuckleB]

19. Giambi goes down swinging!

Beautiful.

No matter how it turns out, it has been classic thus far.

[Red_Storm]

22. HEY VERMONTDEM...

BABE RUTH
BUCKY DENT
BILL BUCKNER

85 YEARS, NOTHING BUT TEARS !!!!!!!

[VermontDem2004]

24. I don't care

I am not a Red Sox fan, I just hate the Yanks.

[Red_Storm]

25. KEEP HATING.......

I'd rather root for my team than be consumed hating another team....



LET'S GO YANKEES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VermontDem2004]

28. I am rooting for Diamondbacks

but unfortenately they don't have the luxury to buy whoever the MVP is of the previous season in the offseason.

[HuckleB]

39. Umm.

The Snakes payroll nearly matched the Yankees for a couple years, so it's not like they didn't spend the money anyway. And what is with those uniforms? Blech!

[VermontDem2004]

42. The uni's look nice

and the D'backs didn't spend nearly as much as the Yankees, you have Giambi, The Rocket, Jeter, that player from Japan, among others. We just had Gonzo and Finley and the rest were from the expansion draft and the minor leagues. But we did have Johnson and Schilling.

[HuckleB]

44. Look at the payrolls for the year they won the Series --

They were almost identical with the Yanks. Same for the year before and after. And, the Yanks didn't defer salaries like the Snakes did. When you consider deferred salaries, the Snakes actually had a higher payroll than the Yanks the year they won the Series.

As for the uniforms, from my sampling, you are in a very small minority on that opinion. Somebody goofed big time!

Cheers!

[VermontDem2004]

51. They look sharp imo

You may hate him but I am in a large majority because I know many fans who agree with me.

[HuckleB]

52. I don't know any fans who agree with you.

Snakes fans or otherwise. They're double A unis at best. The design firm, if there was one, must be out of business.

Sorry, but they're that BAD! Really.

[VermontDem2004]

79. No they look nice! Really.

It is just your opinion it isn't a fact, and the fact that I think they look nice is just an opinion.

[HuckleB]

30. Yankee delusions?

Strange. If someone roots against the Yankees, then it's all because of hate. No one would ever just root for the other team. Why that just wouldn't make any sense at all!

[Red_Storm]

32. Yeah....

and you're so impartial.....uhhh, i'm just rooting for the other team....

[HuckleB]

35. Who claimed to be impartial?

I want the Twins to win. So what?

[HuckleB]

43. Why'd they pull Santana?

Seems odd.

[mac56]

45. good question -

Reed, then Romero.

[GOPisEvil]

47. Leg cramps.

[HuckleB]

49. 3-0 Twins!

.

[mac56]

50. Yeah, baby!

nm

[mac56]

53. kick

:kick:

Do my eyes deceive me? Are the Twins beating the Yankees 3-0 in the 8th?

[HuckleB]

54. Still 3-0 after seven!

Heck of an escape by Hawkins, and a heck of an at bat by Johnson before striking out.

[mac56]

57. And here comes Jeff Nelson!

:evilgrin:

[mac56]

59. And there goes Jeff Nelson!

And here comes Felix Heredia!

[JohnKleeb]

55. ABY: Anyone but the Yankees

Personally leaning on Boston.

[HuckleB]

58. Hmm. Torre sure didn't trust Nellie for long.

nm

[HuckleB]

60. Wouldn't pitch to Hunter.

Good call, I suspect.

[leftist_rebel1569]

61. Bases loaded, one out!

HELL YEAH! GO TWINS!

[leftist_rebel1569]

62. nevermind...

yanks are back up

[HuckleB]

63. Not anymore.

Damn.

[HuckleB]

64. Still 3-0 after eight innings!

nm

[mac56]

65. Hawkins looks good.

What is it now? Top of the 9th?

Twins 3 - Yankees 0?

[leftist_rebel1569]

67. 2 Strikeouts in a row....

Yeah, top of the ninth now btw

[Emboldened Chimp]

66. Dammit!

Come on, Yanks, get the bats goin'!

Six hits to their seven and no runs!

[HuckleB]

68. The ninth is yet to come.

It's either going to be another classic Yankee comeback, or a darn good series!

[HuckleB]

69. Three outs away!

nm

[HuckleB]

70. Well, that was scary.

Bernie is so clutch, and Matsui was almost even more clutch.

[HuckleB]

71. Two outs!

Nail biting time.

[VermontDem2004]

72. One more out

come on Twins, beat the republicans.

[HuckleB]

80. Huh?

Republicans?

[VermontDem2004]

81. lol

the Yankees just remind me of republicans. Don't ask me why.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

73. HELL YES!!! n/t

[VermontDem2004]

74. YES!!!

:toast: The yankees are toast.

[mac56]

75. Well, what do you know about that?!

nm

[indigo32]

76. Ahhh yes

it's good to be from MN LOL

[leftist_rebel1569]

77. TWINS WIN!

:bounce:

[underpants]

82. Hell Yes! Were they playing in Yankee Stadium?

Awesome.

[HuckleB]

83. Yup.

The Yanks will have to win in Minnesota to move on.

[mac56]

84. Yankees playing postseason games in the Dome?

Oh boy, you'll hear some whining then.

[HuckleB]

78. SWEEEEEEET!

We're gonna get ourselves a series!

Now go get 'em Giants and Cubs!
