For the second time in 3 years. I say Billy Beane is the Best GM in the Major leagues. Congrats to the Twinkies too. These two teams had the 3rd and 4th lowest Payroll in the AL and were able to win their divisions. As Football and Basketball decend into mediocracy, Baseball only continues to get better.

Your so-called popularity for the major-league baseball game doesn't hold an ounce of water.

College football puts all other sports to shame, INCLUDING the nascar circuit.

You MUST be a Yankees fan. I think most Twins fans are just excited that they get to sniff the postseason this year and aren't actually deluded about winning anything.

Maybe in Nebraska where Lawrence Phillips is God and there is nothing else to do but watch College Football, watch the corn grow, cower whenever a tornado blows through and attend the local Cults Bi-weekly Snake Charming Ritual.

That's possible. Of course that's why they play the game.

As mentioned before in another thread..........You need to take another drug test. You are definitely smoking something. Most Twins fans on this board, in Minnesota and across this country are fully expecting to be playing and winning in the last AL/NL matchup this season. You're obviously too young to remember the 87 and 91 season. You obviously don't understand the magic of the Metrodome. You obviously don't realize that the Twins are not a bunch of stars playing tgether, they are a rare comodity these days.....They are a TEAM. As a TEAM they have one goal and NOBODY is going to step in their way............To received that World Series trophy for none other than Selig himself.

My prediction for the Oakland vs Twins Series:
Game 1: Minnesota 3 Oakland 2
Game 2: Okaland 6 Minnesota 1
Game 3: Minnesota 4 Oakland 3
Game 4: Minnesota 6 Oakland 4

And Red, if you care to have a friendly wager with me, please pm me so we can work one out.

This ought to be a Hell of a series to be able to see the pitching of the A's, the great Twins defensive plays and the amazing timely offensethat will decide the games.

Pfft on the Twinkies and their Yokel Fans. If they should get lucky and beat the A's I will consider it an anomaly and nothing more.

Since I having nothing to do personally with the outcome I'm not going to wager sh!t. If I were personally involved then I would bet the house on it (and end up getting banned like Pete Rose)

I'm sorry but *MAJOR LEAUGE* baseball is every bit as pointless as *PRO* golf or tennis. You cant* have compitition if there is pretty much nothing to be lost.

These guy's are putting nothing on the line when they play these sport's, yet they still complain. I've seen alot of golf and tenis players cry when they lose, this is where the conecction with baseball comes in, the players are a bunch of over paid whiny babies.

<~Never mind his words, his hatetred of MLB baseball and what it is today clouds his mind.
