From ESPN's summary wrap-up:
Minnesota rookie Boof Bonser will start against Oakland's Esteban Loaiza in Game 2 Wednesday afternoon.
Guess Twinks were betting on winning Game 1.
Closer Huston Street gave one back to the Twins after a leadoff triple by Michael Cuddyer was lost in the ceiling by right fielder Milton Bradley.
D@mn Dome! Outside of Tampa Bay, that has to be the worst place to play baseball.
Thomas went 3-for-4 with two homers
One-man wrecking crew. Thank you Billy Beane!
The favorite to win his second AL Cy Young, Santana hadn't lost at the noisy Metrodome since Aug. 1, 2005, going 16-0 in 23 starts over that span.
Very good omen, beating this guy.
Minnesota's last loss in a postseason Game 1 was in the 1970 AL championship series to Baltimore. There were eight series between that one and this one.
36 years ago. If memory serves me correctly, the Twins lost that series.
I guess this means they are still playing baseball.....
LOL. In my book, the Mets are favored.
This is as good a thread as any to begin a debate whether scores/spoilers should be posted as thread titles, or simply embedded in the thread.
Great lineup, shakey pitching situation. Will be interesting.
The way the Raiders are playing, most Oakland fans hope the A's play into January.
Go Cardinals!
LOL!
Nice use of Photoshop, dead!
I like it!
Maybe the Tigers lost the last 5 games so they would not have to play the A's in the first Series.
Planning on bringing Kirk Gibson out of retirement? :)
I am hoping for a subway series.
maybe the twins should pay their players some money, they have been working for free since the break..
Yes, unfortunately they are.
I have two favorite dates during the baseball season:
1. The All-Star Game - because the season is 1/2 over.
2. The last inning of the final World Series game - because the season is all over.
LOL
GO YANKS! KICK DETROIT ASS!
Might as well get Kirk Douglas.
What the Dodgers really miss is Orel Hershiser.
But, there's Blue Magic in the air...
