Twins SPLOOGEFEST

[PenFoe]

I could care less about baseball anymore, particularly the AL, and I know that you're a Twins fan, BK...but considering what's going on in Detroit and the way the Tigers have been towards the community this year (there was an excellent article in SI last week), I gotta say that I'm definitely rooting for the Tigers here.

So suck it, Minnesota.

Good point.  The Twins are such dicks for doing charity in their own city, which isn't a big shithole like Detroit.

I'm glad to see you've continued your Ripken-esque streak of missing the point.

Oh, what was the point?  Was it hidden somewhere in the Shoutbox?  I didn't root for the Yankees during the 2001 World Series.  I'm sure as shit not rooting for the Tigers this year.

The SBox died sometime around the All-Star break...it just hasn't been officially announced yet.

Oh, good.  So I can shut it down, then?

As long as you're willing to provide a new home for TDubbs, IAN and Yeti.

It's only being kept alive by a steady diet of TDubbs' and Irish Yeti's racism and overcompensating homophobia/fauxmoeroticism.

I still make my token two appearances a week, as required by my contract.

That he respects the charity work the Tigers have done.

That's what I thought.  I didn't miss it.

While Eli is correct, the point was beyond the charity work...it was how Ilitch has upped the payroll even as the economy has declined, how he kept GM's name on the fountain in the outfield even after they couldn't afford to pay for it anymore, how they have more $5 seats, more $5 food, more $5 parking lots...all kinds of things that the Tigers have done for their fans and the city of Detroit this year as it battles with 29% unemployment.  

I don't know what the Twins have done, I'm sure they've done charitable work just like everyone else...the point was that the Tigers have a better excuse than anyone to say fuck it, underachieve, alienate the fans...and they've done the exact opposite.  It's just a nice story, and it's a good reason to root for them.

Plus, I really like Kid Rock.

I'm not saying you shouldn't root for the Twins by any means, my only point was that, as an outsider, the Tigers have done a real nice job up there (and yes, I know they have the 5th highest payroll in baseball, basically double the Twins).

So suck it, Minnesota.

The Tigers can do all that because they have a rich owner who's willing to eat the difference.
If the Tigers win, the auto industry will be saved! That's a dumb argument Pen.

The Tigers have a richer owner than the Twins?

[Internet Apex]

I'm rooting for the Yankees. I might watch a game or two if they play the Rockies in the World Series. That would be an interesting matchup between two interesting rosters/ballparks. Everything else about this pending postseason makes me cry.

[Indolent Reader]

I admire the passion put forth in this hypothetical argument, considering that once again, there will be no playoffs this year.  

[Tinker to Evers to Chance]

Plenty of room on the Royals bandwagon.
