Twins SPLOOGEFEST

[Philberto]

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.

IAN does need to be added to this. We triangle fuck each other in the ass yelling N*GGER! SPIC! and SANDJEW! with every thrust

[Brownie]

I'm rooting for the Cubs. If they run the table, and the Rockies lose the rest of their games...

That he respects the charity work the Tigers have done.

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

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.

You lost me here. Why do they have a better excuse to alienate the fans than any other team? Are you talking about the players? Management? Ownership? Other than the owner making an obviously admirable effort to help the community more this season than he usually would, how would hard economic times affect the incentives of players or management? They're still trying to win as much as they would in any other season.

He's probably explaining how Mike Vick would be a good fit in New Orleans because he's black and a criminal.

Meaning, in light of the surrounding economy, if they decided to shed payroll, become the Royals...it would be "understandable".
Instead, they've gone the other way.

And despite the terrible economy, they have the 4th highest attendance in the AL...
It's a nice story...that's all.

Seriously though...I don't even like the Tigers, I can't believe I've spent this much time on this.

Seriously Kurt, stop talking about it then.

Seventy-two percent of the fuckin' city is working. The other twenty-eight percent come out here. Rip them motherfuckers.

[Slaky]

Wait, PenFoe likes Kid Rock? That explains a lot.

[Dr. Nguyen Van Falk]

Pretty sure that was a joke.

Pen listens to Contemporary Country.

That explains a lot.

He's rooting for Darius Rucker's comeback because of all the good work he's done for the non-working, automotive people in South Carolina.

Sorry, no. Everything he says is truth. He likes the Tigers and Kid Rock now.

[Saul Goodman]

I met Mauer in April and interviewed him.  Great guy.  Therefore, the Tigers suck.

Since this thread is now about how retarded Pen is, let's change gears.

Check out this call from a recent Mariners game. The pregame prediction by Mike Blowers and then the event occuring.
