For the love of Gawd, Why can't the Twins swap leagues with the Brewers

[KitchenWitch]

Goddamn Brewers play American League style ball and the Twins play National League style ball.

:banghead:

[ChoralScholar]

1. Well, the Brewers WERE an AL team... It stands to reason I guess.

[JTG of the PRB]

2. Are you SURE you'd want the Rockies winning 4 of 6 games against the Twinkies every year?

I mean come on... My Rockies STINK! But we still won the series against the Twins in April...

:hide:

[Connonym]

4. I've been meaning to talk to you about your sig line

I think it's grossly unfair to the Cylons.

[JTG of the PRB]

5. Well, you know... These things happen.

I'll change it eventually. Really, it only represents the mindless Cylons that Cavil and his other evil cohorts control. You know, the ones without freedom of thought.

Because nobody that actually thinks could possibly vote for John McCain.

6. you should substitue a lobotomized raider

there have I hijacked this thread with enough geekiness?

[JTG of the PRB]

7. Hmm... Not quite. Maybe another post or two would do it.

That's a good idea though. If I could find a picture of a lobotomized Raider, I would switch it out in a heartbeat!

3. Why is it important?

The Twins did win tonight...

9. Kitchy's transbaseballed

She's got the soul of a National Leaguer in a Republican Leaguer's body.



:D

[KitchenWitch]

10. I have baseball league dysphoria

:D

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Better not nobody 'scriminate you

I'll kick they ass. :grr:

[madinmaryland]

8. LOSERS!

:rofl:

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

23. ...

:spank:

[Fairnessaboveall]

12. Twins have no cash

That's why they seldom win.

[KitchenWitch]

13. They have been the Twins since 1961.

They were the AL champs in 1965, World Series Champs in 1987 and 1991. They have had divisional championships in the years 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006.

But they never win.

:eyes:

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Ah, 1965

The year I found God. :D

[KitchenWitch]

16. ...

:D

Too bad the Twins did not have Koufax that year! :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Eh

They had the Three Jims, who were a combined 51-25 that year.

And the Fat Kid and Minch and the poor bastard facing Koufax in that photo, one of the best pure hitters the game has ever known, and a real mosquito of a shortstop who was one of the few major leaguers with a name that started with 'Z'.

And Earl Battey, who caught all seven games even though he damned near tore off his head on the dugout overhang.



That was a damned good ball club. :thumbsup:

[KitchenWitch]

18. Yes, they were an amazing ball club.

How I would love to have a time machine and go back and actually BE at game 7. If I find a time machine, would you like to join me?

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. Game 7 was at the Met

No, the first Met. :P



Can you make it 5? Koufax won that one in LA. :)

[KitchenWitch]

20. How about both?

The Met was a GREAT place to watch a ballgame. (I miss the Met so much).

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. I noticed two things in the films

One, it had an open right field, like a lotta the old yards. Dunno why, but I've always liked that.

Two, the fans were... polite. How much fun can you have winning on the road when the home fans just go, "Ohhhh, that's just a shame, yah"? :shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

24. *snerk*

"Uff Da! What a gaaaame!"

:D

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. I love the old game films, but

it's weird seein' 40,000 men wearing white shirts and ties. :D

[KitchenWitch]

14. Oh, and by the way - Carl Pohlad - the owner of the Twins

is richer than George Steinbrenner.

[KitchenWitch]

21. No response to my proof that the Twins are not losers?

[Blue_Tires]

26. the stupid brewers never should have left to begin with

and given us a team imbalance. nothing but a huge scam at the time -- and the maxed-out popularity of the Cards and Cubs had everything to do with it...

if there was one job i was ever BORN to do, it would be MLB Commish....this whole league needs to finally join the 21st century...

[KitchenWitch]

27. I hear ya.

A wetbrain with an IQ of 10 could do a better job than Bud Selig.
