BEAT THE YANKEES

10/4/2009 12:43:40 AM

there's already a Twins thread

10/4/2009 12:51:24 AM

post-season?

10/4/2009 12:54:30 AM

so is this a jinx thread? I think all Detroit Fans are happy with this.

10/4/2009 9:45:56 AM

bttt.

One win away from the thread title.

10/5/2009 1:35:35 PM

yeah but the Twins 2009 thread is > 90 days...I just kind of pulled a hostile takeover in the White Sox thread the last month or so

First up:



Porcello @ Baker tomorrow

10/5/2009 1:49:57 PM

1 page

10/5/2009 2:02:01 PM

maybe...but it could get >1 page just from me bitching ITT during the game tomorrow

10/5/2009 2:03:21 PM

sweet jinx

10/5/2009 2:45:15 PM

i consider the 163rd game to be postseason, so i consider the thread title to already be correct

this year 9 teams happen to make the postseason

What TreeTwista considers >>> The official recognition of every sports governing body known to man

10/5/2009 2:50:48 PM

well, when you put it that way, I suppose you're right Tree

10/5/2009 2:51:39 PM

what is a play-in game then Slave? "mid-season?"

10/5/2009 2:54:32 PM

Sudden death to the regular season

Think of the regular season like the first 72 holes of the Shell Houston Open

The game Tuesday is sudden death for that tournament

All of that is erased when the playoffs (Masters) start a few days later

10/5/2009 2:59:17 PM

I really made this thread because I think the Tigres are gonna blow it. They had so many ample opportunities to put this thing away, and guess what, they failed.

What you consider it to be doesn't matter. One (or three) game playoffs to break ties have always counted as regular season game and all the stats accumulated are added to regular season stats.

See end of year records last year:

10/5/2009 4:02:52 PM

well if we win tomorrow it will be a moot point

10/5/2009 4:12:55 PM

You will win tomorrow.

Too bad the fighting Favres have to keep the Twinkies with butterflies for an extra night

10/5/2009 4:15:17 PM

at least we get to play in the Dome

10/5/2009 4:16:31 PM

You guys lose your charm with the new stadium

Its like moving from Reynolds to RBC

70% chance of rain, 10-20mph winds, high of 48 degrees

[Edited on October 5, 2009 at 4:27 PM. Reason : ^what is that?]

10/5/2009 4:26:42 PM

Who's that new guy, Roffle-somethin'?

Nice pick, Mauer.

10/5/2009 4:44:37 PM

Tomorrow's forecast that actually matters: 70 degrees, wind blowing 1 MPH in all directions.

10/5/2009 4:56:33 PM

10/5/2009 4:58:08 PM

10/5/2009 5:22:58 PM

10/5/2009 6:06:13 PM

THE GHOST OF KIRBY PUCKETT LIVES

10/5/2009 6:07:02 PM

Porcello is gonna have a pop-up hit to him and call off the rest of the infield and then be all like "argggh i can't see the ball cause of this damn white dome roof arrgh" then the ball will fall on the ground and the runner will be safe

10/5/2009 6:08:57 PM

10/6/2009 7:30:36 PM

whoops

10/6/2009 7:44:24 PM

had to bring in a pinch runner for Miggy...he is too fat to play any more than 7 and a third

ump deserves to get foul balls to the face when he was giving Baker a shitty zone

[Edited on October 6, 2009 at 8:06 PM. Reason : .]

10/6/2009 7:44:36 PM

10/6/2009 9:00:46 PM

I love some playoff baseball

10/6/2009 9:39:23 PM
