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’.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s

It’s as if you discounted 1989 because there’s so much foul territory at the Coliseum.
It's the fans that make the game fun. -- Rickey Henderson, July 26, 2009.
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.

this is going to be a bipolar postseason for all of us, I think

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
dodgers over rockies, then dodgers over twins

i'd just go and root for all of them to lose.
no wins in particular.

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.

i was rooting for the tigers

Once more, with feeling.
One of the craziest I’ve ever seen.
Go Twinkies!
Lay down, black gives way to blue.
Lay down, I'll remember you.
WOW

So long as they're playin' ball anywhere...
…there’ll be AN game threads!
And that includes winter leagues, as far as I’m concerned.
Is there a ligadelpacifico.tv?

I didn't realize till now how many of my Facebook friends are Twins fans.
But it is nice to see so many baseball-related status updates.
to join Facebook?
It’s pretty fun. I got it when I was in college, when it was just for college students… it was pretty different back then (in the old times… like 4 years ago, haha). Now some of my older relatives are on it (I think my grandma has an account!), which is slightly strange.
All my Sec. 117 friends are on my butt.
I was on LJ for a while and the whole friend thing and letting everyone know where you were and what you were doing seemed so self indulgent.
i wish facebook and twitter would merge
i have facebook, but the point of twitter escapes me, even though it’s good for more serious networking.
they could call it “Twitterface”

I'm having a hard time caring.
If you you want to get in contact with me, I’m here. Otherwise, f off.
i resisted for a long time, too. But I find I can stay in touch with people by checking in
to FB. I’m not one to post a bunch – I leave that to the younger generation!

But, what is the point?
The only people I care about are either on AN, or they aren’t.
Oh, sh*t. Now I get it.
If I'm on FB then I can chat there with my peeps that are also on. OR not.

I'm such a geek
I watched the game through 11 innings, then went out for dinner. Hit the “record” button and figured I’d watch the end after I got home. Unfortunately, because I STILL don’t know how to operate my DVR, I only recorded 15 minutes, and the recording ended when Inge came up with the bases loaded in the 12th. I had to follow the rest on the AN game thread — and you guys aren’t very good about actually describing the action! But the thread was sure entertaining — even though I was rooting for the Tigers. Oh well…maybe I’ll learn. This isn’t the first time I’ve done this. At least with a VCR, it continues to record until you run out of tape. Whatever that is.
Losing this team would be a huge failure for this city and an affront to Oakland’s great sports legacy.
I missed the ending while going up the elevator to my apartment
I “watched” almost the entire game but missed the game winning hit, BOO! Obviously it was replayed a billion times but still.
