1. Does anyone care??? Its the fucking playoffs! C'mon allready!

Twins 3, Yanks 1 in the 2nd.

[wellstone dem]

2. Thank God!

A voice of sanity in the wilderness!!!!

Go Twins.

[maveric]

3. I'm rooting for them now but when they play the Sox in the ALCS...

I'll be going for blood.
Sorry.

[wellstone dem]

4. At least I understand

Sox fans, as for the Yankees, as my 16 year old daughter said, "what's the big deal if they win, they should win, they have all the money. Why root for them, New Yorkers should just hate them if they lose."

[Bluzmann57]

5. Well as a Cub fan

who saw them shed their "lovable loser" tag(their just losers now), I really appreciate the way the Twins play the game of baseball. Besides that, they had a minor league team here until a couple of weeks ago. I saw a few of these guys play. GO TWINS!

[maveric]

6. They've done a great job in rebuilding that team.

Tori Hunter is one of the best in the game and Johan Santana came out of nowhere to be the best pitcher in the majors this season.

[wellstone dem]

7. I'm missing the debate on Friday

I'll be at the game.

argh, homerun, 3 to 3 one out in the 3rd.

[maveric]

8. HR Shefield. 3-3 now!

Shit!

[maveric]

9. HR A-Rod, 4-3 Yanks.

Shit!

[JohnKleeb]

10. whats score now Mav?

Go Twins!

[maveric]

11. 5-4 now.

Twins have men on 1st and 3rd, 1 out.

[JohnKleeb]

12. come on twins

:)

[maveric]

13. Tied at 5

Fucking A!!

[JohnKleeb]

14. yay!

[bigwillq]

15. Fucking Rivera

Or should I say fucking Torre.

Rivera was not ready to go in yet but Torre panicked.

[maveric]

16. I bet that the Yanks will win it in the 9th.

I've just got a feeling.

[Marnieworld]

17. C'Mon Twins!

F-in Yankees!

[maveric]

18. Sox strand the bases loaded. Still 0-0.

[maveric]

19. AARRGGHH!!! Sox have bases loaded, Ortiz up and runner

on 2nd takes a huge lead and gets picked off! What a dumb fucking play!

[Bluebear]

25. That was pretty stupid.

And they're already preparing the "Oh man, Bucky Dent, Buckner, Aaron 'bleeping' Boone (which no one here says), now Bellhorn???????" script. Give it a rest, announcers.

[maveric]

20. HR Tori Hunter!

6-5 Twins in the 12th.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

21. HELL YEAH!

This is NOT last year's Twins team!

[gratuitous]

22. High heat

Deposit it in the seats.

Now runners on first and second for the Twinks. The Yankee season could be slip-slidin' away.

[SmileyBoy]

23. I just tuned the channel to Family Guy, turned it back, and missed it!!!

Right after Torii hit the thing...:(:(:(

[JohnKleeb]

24. woo-hoo!

[maveric]

26. Sox 1, Angels 1.

Boston had the bases loaded 2 innings in a row and only scored once on a force in walk to Manny.
Do I detect a power outage for the Sox?

[maveric]

27. Oh, Oh! Runner on and Jeter is up.

He's allready homered once tonight. A dinger will win it for the Yanks.

[JohnKleeb]

28. how many out?

[maveric]

29. Shit! Ground rule double by A-Rod. 6-6

Twins bullpen is blowing up.

[maveric]

30. Ballgame! 7-6 Yanks.

Sac fly by Matsui.
Joe Nathan gave it away.

[JohnKleeb]

31. fuck!

better luck next time twinkies :(.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

32. Yeah, but the Yanks had to work their asses off to win it.

As I said before, this is NOT last year's Twins.
The Dome is gonna rock on Friday.

[JohnKleeb]

33. yeah I trust that

good job anyway guys, a split is nothing to complain about, these are yankees who won 100 games this year.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

36. The Twins won 90 plus.

That's nothing to be shy about, either.

[Reverend_Smitty]

34. Damn!

I'm just glad I'm at school and not home to listen to my dad celebrate...He's so annoying, he actually believes that there is a Yankee star in the sky (who knows what star it is actually) but he claims that every time the Yanks are down, he will go outside, see the "Yankee Star" and then they win.

It's not a fool proof system, since they haven't won a series since 2000 against my beloved Mets. Plus he claims he has no control over Yankee's victories during the day, so they must play at night.

These are the genes that kept me out of the really good schools!

[JohnKleeb]

35. eek I pity you really

[maveric]

37. Red Sox are self destructing tonight.

Fucking up left and right. Dumb fielding errors, dumb baserunning errors, errant throws to first holding on the runner. Now Pedro just hit a batter and loaded the bases for Vlad Guerrero.
This is sad.

[maveric]

38. Anyone else watching this? Pedro is SPENT! 3-1 Angels.

WOW!

[maveric]

39. Sox tie it up at 3. 2 run HR by Varitek

Now if they just dont try to give this game away....
