I swear the Twins are like the one of the best organizations based on personnel, but easily one of the worst economically. The Metrodome has been out of date forever now, it could be the worst park in MLB right now, I can't think of a worse one besides maybe Tropicana Field. They are losing millions of dollars by having to use the Dome still because it gets shit attendance and has a bad lease, but now like 10 years later they are still trying to figure out how to fund a new arena. Its so rediculous, about 10 other stadiums have been built in the time that they have been debating this. Then last season they started up a tv network called Victory One, similar to YES, but they couldn't get the major cable providers to pick it up. DirecTV is owned by Fox, so they wouldn't because they wanted to keep the Twins on FSN, and all the other ones were shit like that too. After going the first third of the season with no Twins coverage in metro areas, they finally gave up and went back to FSN. Theres millions more dollars lost.

If the Twins win another division championship this year it will be very very impressive, but also very bad for the organization as whole. They have been spoiling the people of Minnesota by winning under these shitty conditions so now people don't realize and don't care about all the economic shit. Soon enough they are going to be at the end of their lease with the Metrodome and they are going to leave and go to Portland. People here will put up one helluva fit, but it will just be retarded because they have been bitching about stadium funding for so long but not getting anything done and soon it will be too late. Stupid people who don't realize what a state of the art stadium can do for an economy bitch and bitch and bitch about public funding for a stadium and then bitching that Pohlad doesn't spend more and then when they have the opportunity to move and do it will be going crazy to try to get them to stay, but it will be too late.

The people of Minnesota have been spoiled in the past few years and that is going to fuck us over for ever getting a stadium and being able to have a more competitive payroll. How about that?
