That would have been some Offerman ‘95 horse shit.

Because the Twins of the 21st century exist to fulfill two purposes and two purposes alone. They are either a gang of no name cellar dwellers or a October warmup for the MFY.
My 7 yo son is a Twins fan and he is unspoiled and his fandom is as pure as any. It literally brings tears to my eyes sometimes.

I have to believe, man. I have to.

The Yankees always have one guy on the team who isn't "a true Yankee." They must, in order to deflect blame from the favorite players. Stanton is that guy now, and it's pretty fun to watch.

Why is Costas doing this game? He's terrible at this.
MLB network wheeled him out so he can wax poetically all game long about Gashouse Gorilla World Series glory from the past.

Billy Crystal will be in the booth between innings to pile on too.

What's really going to be funny is watching him gimp around for the rest of that mammoth contract he's signed to; looking at him lumbering down the line, if he was a race horse, he'd be glue by now.

Those fielders gloves work a lot better when they are open before you try to catch that little round white thing.

What a stooge...……….

Washington has a better chance of beating the Pats than the Twins di of winning this series.
I disagree. I think the Twins have a 45% chance.

I think WAS has. 28% chance.

These are very scientific.

One thing that gives me hope is that Rocco is probably a lot better at prepping the team mentally for all the Yankees mystique bullshit than fucking Ron Gardenhire.

Did you hear that HR call from Costas? Wait til the MFY hit one. I'll bet there will be a little bit more excitement in his voice.
