    Re: Official Twins Thread

    comment on thread: I wonder how much Twins baseball Gcrusher has seen down the stretch cuz the Twins have been playing like a team possessed.

    Thoughts on the twins: It's going to be mighty hard to topple the big bad Yankees but now is as good a time for them to take on the Yanks as they've been playing very well. I think that if the pitching holds up then they've got as much of a chance as the A's have of beating them.

    Remember this: anything can happen in a 5 game series. No one thought the Twins could beat the A's last year.

      Re: Official Twins Thread

      First of all, I hate the Yankees, so I hope your Twins destroy them. However, I'm a realistic fan and not an optimistic fan. I don't care what the Twins have done since the All Star break, because it's Shannon Stewart who sparked the team after July. If they're so good, why do you have one starter with a sub 4.00 era? Why is your best hitter batting .250? I'm sorry, but your Twin team has a ton of potential yet it played horribly for most of the year. To be 3rd at the All Star break to a team 2nd to last in pitching is ridiculous.

            Re: Official Twins Thread

            LOL I'm not a Twins fan I'm a Jays fan.

            Nonetheless baseball is a game of momentum and streaks. So I think the Twins can do it if they play 110%. Also BA doesn't tell the whole story about how good a team can be. There have been teams that have gone to the WS or even won it strictly on the back of their pitching staff or going into the playoffs with a lot of momentum.

            As I said...anything can happen in a 5 game series.

                  As I said, I'm rooting for the Twins, but I don't think a Twin/Yankee matchup is nearly as entertaining as a White Sox/ Yankee series would have been.

                              Want my thoughts on the Twins? I think they're a underachieving team with a horrible rotation and absolutely no chance against the Yankees. The White Sox would have been a more entertaining division series.

                              <hr /></blockquote><font class="post">

                              You think the Twins are an under-achieving team? And the White Sox arent'?? Also, compare the Twin's rotation to the Sox's rotation down the stretch, who's horrible?? Who have you been watching??? The Twins continue to "over achieve", while the White Sox can't do JACK @#$%&amp;%$ SQUAT with the talent that they have.

                              Another point, the White Sox are not an "entertaining" team to watch. If you, in all of your "uber baseball intellect" had seen, the White Sox are a boring team. If they don't hit a homerun, they don't score runs. This was evident during their "exciting" series against the Twins where they got SPANKED royally and couldn't generate a run to save their lives.

                              Sure, it would definately be more exciting to see a piss-poor team like Chicago get swept by the Yankees than it would to see the Twins make a series out of it.

                              Congratulation to yourself on expressing your baseball ignorance, and tell me again who the under-achievers are?

                                Want my thoughts on the Twins? I think they're a underachieving team with a horrible rotation and absolutely no chance against the Yankees. The White Sox would have been a more entertaining division series.

                                You think the Twins are an under-achieving team? And the White Sox arent'?? Also, compare the Twin's rotation to the Sox's rotation down the stretch, who's horrible?? Who have you been watching??? The Twins continue to "over achieve", while the White Sox can't do JACK @#$%&amp;%$ SQUAT with the talent that they have.

                                Another point, the White Sox are not an "entertaining" team to watch. If you, in all of your "uber baseball intellect" had seen, the White Sox are a boring team. If they don't hit a homerun, they don't score runs. This was evident during their "exciting" series against the Twins where they got SPANKED royally and couldn't generate a run to save their lives.

                                Sure, it would definately be more exciting to see a piss-poor team like Chicago get swept by the Yankees than it would to see the Twins make a series out of it.

                                Congratulation to yourself on expressing your baseball ignorance, and tell me again who the under-achievers are?
