Yeah I was just joking around, the stadium is going to be really nice. The architect is HOK based out of Kansas City, they've done all the new really nice stadiums recently (Baltimore, Pittsburgh [baseball and football], and they are working on the new Yankee Stadium)
One thing though, they aren't including the a retractable roof since it would cost an extra 100 million. I dunno I can't see too many fans attending games in early April in Minnesota, but I guess they already don't so maybe it is a good move after all. |

What exactly are Twins fans bitching about? Last year the series against the Yankees was a Friday, Saturday, Sunday deal. 2005 it was a Friday, Saturday, Sunday series in June. 2004 it was in August. I'm sorry but talk about looking for any reason to bitch about something.

Here's an idea; Get people interested in going to Twins games and sell tickets to them.

I don't know why you keep talking about the Twins not having any fans. They averaged 28,210 fans per game last season while playing in one of the worst venues in Major League Baseball for watching a game. That is hardly low attendance for this team.
For comparison sake, the Reds averaged 26,351 fans in a brand new stadium. And they were in contention for the majority of the season. I'm not complaining, I could hardly give a shit when the Twins play the Yankees. It was mentioned by a columnist in the newspaper though and, even though Supreme is completely befuddled, I am sure any team in Major League Baseball would prefer to play the Yankees in July instead of April, from a monetary standpoint. As for the retractable roof comment, there is some merit to it but I prefer not having one. The concern is much more to do with rain than snow though. It is extremely rare for it to be snowing in April or October. The main reason they wanted to put it on is so people outstate don't come all the way to a game only to have it be rained out. But that said, all of the cool stadiums are open. I think having a roof takes away from the atmosphere a lot. Can you imagine if there was a retractable roof over Wrigley? The weather isn't that much different in Minneapolis and Chicago. Last edited by BCWWF; 04-12-2007 at 09:57 PM. |

In the Mets series the Phillies went 3-26 with runners in scoring postion and left 25 men on base
That's the mark of a true winner ![]() |

Good to see them end the series on a winning note.
Now I sincerely hope they pound the shit out of the Nationals. |

In case you guys don't remember, batters are not affected by having men on base or other pressure situations.

Halladay pitched 10 innings for the victory tonight against Detroit. That's great. Here's the thing though. Rodney had to infield balls, one a bunt I believe it said hit to him, neither of them did he field clean, nor did he get an out. So Toronto got a sac fly in the 10th to win the game. 2-1. Bonderman pitched 9 complete innings and wanted to go back out for the 10th.

Mussina will miss his next start and now Pavano too because of arm soreness or something
So our rotation right now is pretty much Pettitte Igawa Rasner? Nice |

I heard the Yankees are going to sign free agent Jose Canseco to shore up their pitching woes.

Man this Tigers/Jays game is exausting.
It was 4-0 for the Jays, 5-3 Jays, 6-4 Jays, 6-6, 7-6 Jays. Now BJ Ryan is on and has walked 3 batters in the 9th.... OH my god. |

Yankees in their second straight extra-inning game. Bottom of the 11th at Oakland and Mo is in. We have used our whole bullpen today except for Bruney now.

Finally, Giambi actually gets a hit and puts us in the lead.
We haven't allowed a run in 12 innings so Bruney just has to hold on for 1 more. |

Also, I believe today is Jackie Robinson day. |

It is. Every uniformed person is allowed to wear the #42 jersey today. Some teams are even having the entire team wear it.
I'm guessing teams whose games have been rained out will be allowed to honor Jackie the next time they play |

Yankees place Pavano and Mussina on the DL. Gonna have to piece together some starts from minor leaguers for a while it seems.

Yeah, definitely can't say I was expecting that. Pretty tough loss today after battling back and everything.
Tuesday should be interesting. We have Chase Wright pitching for us. He has only pitched two games above A ball level - two starts in AA. He didn't allow a run in either start but still gonna be a big jump. I'm guessing the reason he is being used is because he is on the 40-man roster while a couple of the other expected minor leaguers are not. Pettitte has been everything we needed from him so far which is good. This week though we go up against some potent offenses in Cleveland and Boston so hopefully our starting pitchers can hold up and not kill the pen even more. A stat they were talking about is the starting pitching has pitched 78.2 innings and the pen has pitched 78; pretty ridiculous. |
