The Twins and some tiny team from New England are on ESPN tonight!

[KitchenWitch]

:D

[Tommy_Carcetti]

1. I'm sure ESPN will cover it....

...because of the Twins, of course.

That poor New England Whatitsnames and the New York Whosthats, though, ESPN never talks about them.

[KitchenWitch]

3. Yah, I know

I am so happy to be a fan of a team that gets so much national coverage...

:sarcasm:

[TZ]

2. How come

ESPN only shows the Twins when they are playing the BoSox (or the Yankees)? That really does smack of East Coast Bias....

[KitchenWitch]

4. That is a question for the ages...

:hi:

[CatholicEdHead]

10. Correction

ESPN only shows the {Insert any team except the Yankees, Red Sox, Mets, or Cubs here} when they are playing the BoSox (or the Yankees)? {and Mets and Cubs}

[sniffa]

5. Suck it Minisoda

Boo Twins!

We may have to watch it since MSNBC is down again. :eyes:

[KitchenWitch]

7. Since you got all your guys onto the All Star Team

A fair compensation would be for the Twins to win this series!

:hi:

[flvegan]

6. Should be a good game, BUT

I do think your pitcher may be a bit overmatched.

Tell your guys to bring their bats!

[KitchenWitch]

8. Don't underestimate Scott Baker.

Our bats are working just fine.

Have your guys grab their GOOD fielding gloves.

[flvegan]

9. Cora had no chance at that one last night.

Besides, putting the ball into play might be a little tough.

And I'd never underestimate a career 22-22, 4.50 ERA pitcher.

Seriously, though, it'll be a good game and my Sox aren't exactly playing diamond ball lately. Happy to congratulate your Twins when they win...

By freak of nature.

[CatholicEdHead]

11. Exactly

Piranha baseball gets it done.

[KitchenWitch]

12. I love watching our speedsters!

:D

[Pierre.Suave]

16. Speaking of the speedsters...

From todays Pioneer Press....

Powers: Twins' youngsters might need a speed limit

[DaydreaminHippie68]

13. Oh man..

they're dissing the red sox.....I only like one player from the twins and that's Craig monroe. He's a former Tiger.

[KitchenWitch]

15. We like Craig Monroe too!

:D

What're they saying about the Red Sox. I have the Extra Innings package so I am choosing to watch the Twins feed.

[Pierre.Suave]

14. WooHOO

GO TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!

[KitchenWitch]

18. You got that right!

:hi:

You watching DickNBert or ESPN?

[Pierre.Suave]

20. DicknBert

on FSN

HAHAHA

:rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

23. I love DickNBert!

:D

[Pierre.Suave]

25. Do they play them on

MLB Extra Innings?

[KitchenWitch]

27. Yes.

I usually get my choice of feeds. Today I have a choice of 3 feeds, DickNBert, the Red Sox announcers, or the ESPN broadcast.

[Pierre.Suave]

29. I know which two I would not choose...

ESPN can suck it.

[KitchenWitch]

30. Precisely

There are some of the weekday day games that I am stuck with the other teams crew because FSN does not carry all the day games. But given the choice, I stick with D&B

[Pierre.Suave]

24. Speaking of Bert...

I won a radio contest here locally once. I can not remember what the question was, but i called in and thought I would not even get through, but I did and luckily Burt Blyleven (spelling) was the answer because he was the only pitcher I could remember from when he was pitching...

[KitchenWitch]

26. I won a radio contest back in 1995 called "Brush with Baseball Greatness"

I won two tickets and a limo ride to opening day 1995 at the Metrodome. My "Brush with Baseball Greatness" was seeing Kent Hrbek with a big flatbed cart in the frozen food section of Sam's Club.

:rofl:

[Pierre.Suave]

28. How glamorous!

:P

[KitchenWitch]

31. I got to take my son to his first Twins game in a Limo

:D

That was pretty awesome.

[Pierre.Suave]

32. That does sound fun!

[TZ]

17. Is twitchy mcxanax gonna play?

I love that name! (Joe Nathan right?)

[KitchenWitch]

21. If we are up by 3 or less runs in the 9th, Twitchy will play!

I love Joe Nathan.

[Parche]

19. Football SUX

:woohoo: :hi: :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

22. Especially during Baseball Season!

:D

[Initech]

:woohoo:

[Redneck Socialist]

41. We live in profoundly disturbing times...

...but we're still ahead of the Yankees. :evilgrin:

Oh, and how 'bout that Manny Ramirez?

[old mark]

36. Good luck, KW !

Phils still in first in NLE.
Waiting for them to sink rapidly when it is important.

[KitchenWitch]

37. I was born in Philly

My dad grew up in SW Philly. I am sorry the Phils collapse all the time.

[Pierre.Suave]

38. is this a good game or what!!!!!

I predict extra innings...

[Pierre.Suave]

39. BASS is giving the game away!!!!!!!!!!

GRRRRRRRRR

I am so glad gardenhire is coming out, I hope they put twitchy in.

[KitchenWitch]

40. Gardy should have put Crain in to begin with.

Bass is our long innings middle guy.
