I don't care

I don’t even like the Tigers or Leyland or their owner.

But I hate the Metrodome so much that I am literally rooting against a building. The place is a complete joke as a baseball stadium, the Twins have never won anything without taking advantage of its horrible design, and there’s decent evidence that they cheated in 1987 by turning the ventilation system on when they were batting so their fly balls would carry farther than their opponents’.

The Twins did win in the 60s in Metropolitan Stadium, obviously

I meant that they’ve never won anything since moving into the big garbage bag without using its stupid, horrible design.

It’s as if you discounted 1989 because there’s so much foul territory at the Coliseum.

There's no comparison there

Catching popups is normal. Every stadium has its own dimensions. In some places you have more room, in some places less.

The Metrodome’s roof, however, is the same color as the baseball. Players who play there 81 games a year have a huge, unearned advantage over everyone else. Nobody else gets to practice catching fly balls against that roof because nothing like it exists anywhere else in the majors or minors. It would be like having a lighting system that randomly flashed bursts of light in fielders’ eyes — the home team would get used to it, and everyone else would get screwed.

And it’s not just fly balls. Because of the ridiculous, made-for-football super-springy astroturf, players have actually lost grounders in the lights there. The A’s once gave up an inside-the-park 2-hopper to 2nd in the Metrodome. It bounded over Tony Phillips’ head, then over Mike Davis’s when he came in to get it.

I don’t think that was the same series in which Dave Kingman hit a popup through the roof, though.

The Metrodome introduces a bunch of bizarre possibilities that exist nowhere else in baseball to every game, and does so in a way that unfairly advantages the Twins to an extreme degree.

I saw a guy with a Twins 2006 division champs tshirt tonight

at a restaurant. Must not be that great of a Twins fan — not even watching this game. (Also, haha 2006 Twins, we swept you.)

That's not fair.

If there’s twin pitchers, there should be twin batters.

A grand slam counts twice, too.

Twin pitchers and twin batters.

I guess the good thing about this postseason

is that I’ll almost always be happy to watch the losing team wander off the field after having gotten their butts kicked.

2009 — the schadenfreude postseason.

thanks

Let’s see… how about Rockies over Phillies, Dodgers over Cards, Sox over Angels, and Twins over Yanks…. then Twins over Sox, and Rockies over Dodgers… then Rockies over Twins. Maybe that’s what I’ll root for. Hmm.

agree except for the NL

that'd be fine too

Then Giants fans would be very angry. And that would be entertaining.

So what did I miss?!?

j/k…I was watching the game away from the computer.

Funny thing is I ended up rooting for the Twinkies, even though I thought I’d be rooting for the Tiggers.

Doesn’t matter at this point, since the Twins are Anyone But the Yankees for at least the next three days.

There is no "i" in Teamocil. At least not where you'd think.
