Oy. That has got to violate some kind of tampering rule. Can MLB be any less brazen about their plans to screw the Montreal Expos? Why would baseball want to screw with the Expos know that they're moving to D.C.? Whatever Minaya did to deserve such a high market job. It would seem he would of had one if he would of just stayed. A new owner, who you have to assume will attempt to make the team better and actually care about the teams future. Unlike the Mets, with that dink Fred Wilpon.

I don't mind Selig.

I'll take the bet.

Dominating defense against who? Besides Illinois St. which was a no show. The Gophers have played pretty much the same level of opponents. Arizona's a major conference team, but they aren't good. Look at the scores. The Gophers have all but dominated teams when it really mattered. The D's tendency to let up with a big league is frustrating, but the offense can score against anyone. Wisconsin on the other hand has struggled against mediocre teams. The D's been good, but the O's been just has bad. Heck, this week it was only 16-7 vs Penn St. who has to use their third string qb. Davis's injury hurts, but still this is the 3rd game they've scored less than 20 points. This week the Gophers face Penn St. A game i'll be attending. If the Gophers fail to score less than 35 points. I'll stop asking you every week about the Gophers not being ranked. If they do, i'll stop anyway.

Fuck you Micheal Vick and Vikings Defense.

Have you not watched Minnesota?They're clearly better than Wisconsin, and have played better than Michigan this year.

AL Cy Young? as great as Schilling has been, It has to go to Santana. I don't agree with some critics beliefs that Schilling is the Cy Young because "He had more pressure". I don't think you can call Schiling's season great. Great to me is a dominate year. Take out the first 6 weeks, and Santana's been just that. Schilling's having a good year, but he's not doing anything out of ordinary.

Does anyone else think the AL ROY is very weak this year? Crosby's going to win it, but he's really not having that great a year.

The Twins vs TBA has already been set for Tue-Wed-Fri-Sat-Sun. Santana, Radke, and Silva will go the first 3 games. Game 4 and 5 will depend on games 1-3. A series lead Muholland/Lohse will pitch and Santana would be fully rested for Game 5. If they trail in the series, than Santana goes on short rest, and if they get to Game 5 Radke goes on short rest.

Steve McQueen.

*bumped* I was just discussing with my brother about the lack of 1st Basemen in the AL who have played a good majority of their teams games at 1st. In reguards to the Gold Glove, the real choices are very slim.

Santana goes for number 20 Friday. I'm looking forward too the Giants-Dodger series. Dodgers probably have the advantage has 2 of the Giants 3 top starters will miss the series.

I don't give two fucks about what AS or Cartman thinks. They have nothing to do with the Yankees or Sox. Which is unfortunate because the two teams will be ready for the Twins in the playoffs.

Read the post. You know nothing about the TWINS. The TWINS. The basic point of this thread is too discuss the Twins. You're continuing to compare the Twins series win over the Yankees, to Seattle beating Minnesota, or like Starvanger said the Jays beating the Yankees 2 out of 3 times.

(The above sarcasm is meant to put the Twins' HUGE SERIES WIN against the Yankees in perspective) Thank you oh witty one. Oh, and comparing the Twins beating the Yankees 2/3 times to Seattle play against Boston shows you know nothing about the Twins.

The White Sox have gone through the same damn routine the last 4 years. They don't have what it takes to win anything. Mark it down, Cleveland will be the Twins biggest challenge next season.

I wouldn't be too concerned about the Twins next week if i'm the Yankees. They look too be going through the motions and are seem more content in playing out the regular season. Also, don't expect Santana to pitch more than 5 innings in next Thursdays game.

Many in the Twins organization speculate Santana was tentative to pitch all out until he was certain he was fully healed from off season surgery.

Katie Vick's spirit enters Lita and forces her too have a back alley abortion.

Maybe it's trying tell the Halos something. Well. Jesse Craine can kiss his post-season spot goodbye. He's sucked the last two outings, and the last thing you want his a rookie picher with control problems in the post-season. Kyle Lohse also has no business being on the roster. Good game by Jason Kubel though.

No one is denying the Central is weak division. However, that doesn't mean the Twisn aren't a damn good team, who are more than capable of beating of the other playoff teams. The timing was perfect. However, this team has something the others didn't a dominate starter in Santana. This is an entirely different pitcher. So don't tell me the Yankees beat him last year.

It's around 53.5 million.

That or an episode of Raw or Smackdown.

What a great prediction. Reallly went out on a limb. The rest of you. Don't be such assholes. Let us Twins fans celebrate the title.

Been there, done that, beat him. Besides, one man can't win 11 games single handedly. Brad Radke..an improving Carlos Silva, Kyle Lohse is pitching better. The best bullpen of the AL playoff teams.
