O/T: TV Sponsors, Media and MLB Holds It's Breath

[tbob]

Mike Cuddyer has moved to first base and put the Twins on his back and carried them in September. Delmon Young has moved to left field permanently and looks finally like the guy who was the #1 pick in the Draft his year. O-Cab has been added and since he became the shortstop, things have stabilized. We'll be ok without Morneau.
The X-factor is rookie Brian Duensing. The lefty is 5-1 as a starter and will go Game 1 in Yankee stadium. He will not be psyched out pitching there like Baker, Blackburn, Liriano, Nathan, etc. would and have been.
It will be fun if Baker can pitch up to his talent Tuesday night in front of the loudest crowd in MLB.
I didn't make it to the Series in '91 but if the Cards and Twins square off this year I will be there in St. Louis.
Twins in '09? Longshot, but in the words of Tug McGraw, you've got to believe!

Frank- The Cardinals played on concrete painted green so their stadium hardly qualified as a great place to play. I agree the Dome sucks and am glad the guys are back out doors next year but the real surprise is that someone in the media doesn't make them the darlings this year with their low budget ways and roster full of youngsters.
You bet I am Yining

If we can get by Detroit we will Destroy the Yankees most likely an easy sweep!

I can't wait to watch Arod choke like he always does and take the blame for a quick end to a great season. The Yankees are cursed with Arod and destroying the house that Ruth built they have no chance, although Jeter is the man !! Twins Win !!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh yea, derek jeter is a winnar...he's the yankees all-time hit leader, which makes him baseball's all-time hit leader since 1 yankee hit=1.8 regular hit anywhere else (or 2.1 in kansas city)...mr. dreamy mcclutch.

arod on the other hand is a clubhouse cancer who only hit solo hrs when they're down 8-1 (because jeter wasn't playing that day to will the team) and shrinks up in october like his testicles after a cycle and give girly slaps unbefitting of a TRUE YANKEE (i'm sure that's trademarked somewhere).

GO DODGERS!

[ullmandds]

Maybe Arod and Manny can compare testicles after their repective cycles...I predict the twins will be detroit handily(as M. cabrera is probably schnockered right now)...then will lose to the mighty yankees in 5.
