OMG - ESPN will be airing the Twins on Sunday Night Baseball this week

[KitchenWitch]

Happy Mother's Day to MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

:woohoo:

1. Bah.

Indoor baseball. Ptooey!

Haven't the Twins already had their Sunday game already? :P

[KitchenWitch]

2. Only one more season after this year...then you get snow baseball in April!

:P

[GOPisEvil]

3. No retractable roof?

Those are allowable.

[KitchenWitch]

4. No retractable roof

Pohlad did not want to spring for it and the taxpayers of Hennepin County are on the hook for 2/3 of the bill as it is (via a 0.25% sales tax).

[GOPisEvil]

5. Pohlad's penny-pinching is going to kill that francshise yet.

I usually end up going to Houston to see games, and there are times when the roof comes in VERY handy.

[KitchenWitch]

8. Yah

In Mpls, you get cold and snow in March, April and October (Ah October baseball!). In July, August and early September you get 95°F with 98% humidity. And that is not even mentioning the thunderstorms.

Yah, a stadium without a retractable roof is a real good idea.

:eyes:

[GOPisEvil]

11. Oh well, it still beats the Baggie Dome.

Even if it IS named after a good guy. :)

[KitchenWitch]

12. Yeah

I have gone to countless games there. The sightlines are awful. There is no seat in that whole arena that has good for baseball sightlines. They really should hand out Advil after games for all the sore necks.

[GOPisEvil]

13. I've hated that place since the 1987 World Series.

x(

[KitchenWitch]

15. One cool think about the Humpydome is that it gets really LOUD in there.

Yeah, I can understand your misgivings about the place especially during that particular time.

There were signs all over the place that said "4 in the Dome is better than 3 in the Busch!"

That was a great Series.

[GOPisEvil]

16. Baseball has been so unfair about the way it handles home field.

I think they should just do what the NBA does: best record gets it. Cardinals lost two World Series in the 1980s because of that stupid rotating home field crap. Of course, they won one in the 1980s because of that too.

I would say not to get me started, but it appears I already am. :D

[KitchenWitch]

17. I agree with you.

In the divisional and league championship rounds home field advantage goes to the higher seeded team, but the WS has always been fucked.

[GOPisEvil]

18. Anything is better than the All-Star game deciding.

Hell, flipping a coin would be better.

[Wetzelbill]

6. personally I'm sick of Jenna and Barbara by now

:)

[darkstar]

7. Hope my Cardinals don't put a damper on proceedings

too badly, that is.

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

9. We got the Cardinals last week.

Manny and Red Sox play the Twins this week on SNB.

[darkstar]

20. duh...................

Right.....

sheesh

:crazy:

[GOPisEvil]

23. Actually I said that incorrectly.

We got to see the Cards whoop on the Cubs last week. :woohoo:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. Will she sing?

[KitchenWitch]

14. I would rather see him...

Especially since he is from Minneapolis.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. But he doesn't have twins...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

19. Heyyyy, aren't they playing the BoSox in that game?

That's probably why ESPN is airing the game.

:P :P

:hide:

:rofl:

:)

[KitchenWitch]

22. ah shaddup - and get off my lawn!

:grr:

:rofl:

[av8rdave]
