During baseball season I'm often involved in Howard Sinker's 220 club/blog..."A Fan's View" on the Star Tribune website while at work (shh!!...don't tell anyone). Every day has virtually been the same scrutiny on our local 9 ballclub. Why does Punto play...why do we have the pedestrian Brendan Harris as our DH, and we go on and on...
We just lost Game 1 of the ALDS, 7-2 to the Yankees. We weren't even as hard on the club as we usually are, based on how lucky we are just to be a part of the playoffs...but, out of nowhere Yankee fans/posters start going on and on about how great they are (we never get opposing teams fans in the comment section and if we do they applaud our team/organization).
I decided to pluck one guy's (Anthony) comments out for you...to show you my frustration towards these ignorant bastards. I'll also post my responses as well as other Twins fans'. Though he never really directs anything at me...he still irritates me to no end...I don't know what I want to accomplish with this post, other than to show my wife why I do the things I do when I watch games our local teams play in...the vulgar language, the kicking and punching of the couch, the turn the channel only to turn it back because I can't be a true fan that misses the ultimate comeback...these are the people that drive me to these extremes! Why they bug me...I don't know...they just do!! Go Twins...make it a series where New York has to sweat it out!

Funny reading all these ‘Twinkie’ fans writing as if they have a chance in the series with this AAA team other than Mauer. You’re 3-24 at Yankee stadium over the last few years and got spanked 8 straight now. Can’t wait until you open up your new ‘open air’ park and try to play games in October when it’s 20 degrees and snowing. Who thought of that ingenious idea? Should have stuck with that oversized Gladbag sh*thole…LOL

Anthony,
Twins have a better chance in this series than you do of even buying a ticket, much less walking into the corporate-esque thing you call a baseball stadium.

The average temperature in NYY land is 5 degrees warmer than in Mpls in October. It’s pretty much the same in Boston.
Of course, Anthony is not the only person that doesn’t bother looking up information in less than 1 minute on the internet….

How does Anthony even know what a triple A team is…if he’s a Yankees fan? Isn’t their farm system the rest of the Major League?

Hey Mike wants Wins: First of all the World Series is played in November where Minnesota averages lows in the mid 20’s and averages about 50 in. of snow every winter….You know New York has never had a problem outside based on all the World Series rings so lets see how that works out for you buddy boy!…LOL

Then all you Twinkie fans will shut your pie holes about how you’re going to win this series and realize you’re still living in East Bumblef*ck with nothing else going on but being up to your nuts in snow….Then what?…LOL

Wouldn’t we be West Bumblef*ck to you?

Geography bears no weight when comedy is in effect.

Dood you probably look like that neanderthal-looking Vikings Mascot, Ragnar that runs around with the fur outfit and the beard blowing the horn….LOL

Anthony, I heard you resemble Rocky Dennis
He didn't respond after this comment...in Minnesota, we call this a "moral victory"!
