You twinkies fans are a riot.  Since when is the AL Central strong?  Haha!  Based on record, yeah, you got it.  The TIGERS are winning your division.  DETROIT!  You're 11 games behind DETROIT!

Since Detroit and the other Sox have better records than your Sox by 5.5 and 4.0 games respectively.

Interesting your laugh at the notion of the AL central being strong, they have a 6-3 record against your boys this year including being swept by the 3rd place team in the division, not to mention, our current 2nd place team won the World Series last year.

I know, someday the D-Rays will probably win the AL-East....Wait a minute, what am I saying?  Haha.  I don't even need to get into this argument, because there is no argument.  You're just trying to support your team and make excuses for why they suck.  I know, it's a hard division....HAHAHAHAHAAHAHH!!!!! 

You're right, there is no argument, the AL central is clearly the strongest division not only in the AL but in all of MLB.

If the Twins sucking means sweeping back to back series, they can suck all the way to the playoffs as far as I'm concerned.

Your claiming that the Central is week because the Tigers are leading it makes as much sense as claiming the NFC West is strong because the 49ers are in it. Both arguments would have held water if it was still 1990.

It's too bad the Vikings weren't in the AFC East last year!  They woulda tied for second place!  Just end it.  There's no use in playing this game.  Feel free to continue it over in the MIAC room though, cause I don't really feel like listening to your nonsense.

I'm a Packers fan, not a Vikes fan but thanks for the effort. Before you even rip on the 4-12 season, I never said the Packers were the sh*t, in fact I'll admit they're in a slump that could take years to come out of.
Not sure what the hell last season's NFL results have to do with this year's baseball season, but if knowing the Patriots made the playoffs before getting sent home by Jake the Snake makes you feel better, run with it for all its worth.

As far as our bet, I accept Paypal, cash, beer or personal check.

You're right.  The Twins are awesome because they are 6-3 vs. the AL East.  You win.  Good luck in the World Series.  You know a LOT more about baseball than I do.  Game over.  Thanks for playing.  Steal me one of those sweet towels when the bandwagoners come out for the playoffs and actually fill a few seats in the JV stadium you got out there.  Doubt they will come to watch that actually make the playoffs, but one can wish.  Congratulations on your prowess...

Also, Congrats to the DC Nationals fans out there.  You are 2-1 this season vs. the Yankees.  You are CLEARLY the better team.  Good work!

Please no more Twinks/Sawks arguing. As the best baseball player on this board (just ask Reg and LD about 'Gro's hitting clinic he put on at the batting cages) I declare this argument is over, for now. You may resume... at the earliest, in late august.

anyhoo... I've been trying to build up my shoulders for a few years with no success, anyone have a good delt program they can hook me up with?

Gro,

The delts are always a catch 20/20.....
There any many excercises to improve your build, but when you weigh 127 pounds and stand 6' tall, it is difficult to pack on muscle.....hence the catch 20/20

LL'ers...Thought you guys might like this Linfield video clip from back in the day.  In 1989 Linfield was hosting The Pacific University Boxers in a tight game. A Linfield's cornerback picked off a pass and was racing up the Boxer sideline when a reserve O-linemen for the Boxers came off the bench and made a crushing TD-saving tackle.

Though this was unique enough to post on the LL board.

Linfield Legends: 1989's Sideline Blindside

Question,
Was that kid viewed as a hero or a zero for that play?  Reg always wondered about that....

[Jonny Utah]

Detroit sucks.  I dont care what their record is, they arent that good.

The Chicago White sox have two allstarr hitters that did not want to play for the red sox because they didnt want to face the pressure of playing in Boston so they stayed in a place where no one cares about their team.

The Yankees are playing with half their team and the Redsox face Minnesota at a time where Francona had to show uppermanagement that the bullpen he has sucks.  Hes done it before and the Twins series was the series that he decided to do it against.

The sox have now solidified their #4 pitching spot and some more youth will fill in the bullpen.

['gro]

they don't call him "last word lewdogg" for nothin.

how bout a little football chatter?  Hopefully I will be able to score some Titans tickets this year. If they are smart they will keep Vince Young on the sideline and let him learn for a year, but I know the second the season is a wash they will hand the team over to him like they did with Eli Manning in NY.

And my "they look good on paper" award goes to... the Ravens. They've got a ton of talent on that roster. Keep McNair healthy and keep the Brothers Lewis out of jail, and they could do things  

[JT]

The White Sox are very good, beyond that you've got clubs that would be battling Baltimore for 4th in the East.  Cleveland is a surprise to JT.  JT thought the White Sox and the Tribe would be 1-2 most of the season in the Central.  Other than that... much ado about nothing.

Maybe LD11 and JT actually agree on a baseball topic.  Weird....

[JT]

Ok football.  If Phil Silva gets invited to camp after minis are over, JT will actually go to his 1st Jets pre-season game in about 15 years.

No, you're wrong, the AL Central is 6-3 vs the Red Sox, the Twins are 8-4 against the AL East and haven't even played the D-backs yet.

I never claimed to know more about baseball than anyone or their mom. All I know is that the Twins are on one helluva tear right now and I hope they can ride it through the rest of this road trip and into the All-star break.

So if you don't believe one team beating another is grounds for claiming they are better, what arbitrary statistic would you prefer we use to compare teams? Quantity of Stadium mustard consumed during innings 4-7 of home games?

Starting this fall, all Playoff series winners will not be decided based on who won more games in the series, but who Lewdogg thinks is the better team. Congrats to both the Red Sox and the Yankees for earning automatic bids to the first ever all AL World Series.

Quantity of Stadium mustard consumed during innings 4-7 of home games?

In that instance, I'd take Cleveland all the way. That's some GREAT stadium mustard.

Seriously, not kidding about that. It's relatively famous, as stadium mustard goes.

All this talk about twins has got Reg pondering.....and so, he had to check out their homepage.  It is quite impressive and there is even a short article about the "twins hitting .500"

I googled it and everything, but I couldn't figure out what "GB 11" meant in the 2006 standings....wierd.

Anywhoo, don't count that money yet KR...."the twins are below .500 at the all star break"* If the nationals can beat the yanks.....I am pretty sure the next few games aren't going to be as easy as you think.

Reg- Since you don't even like baseball, let me help you out. "GB" means "great baseball" and the "11" stands for the last 11 games. So... that's just a tip of the hat from the official scorer to the Twins for doing so well lately.
If anything else stumps you, just float it up here. We'll do our best to help.
You're welcome.

All I can say is that you have to MAKE the playoffs in order to win or lose them.  If each team had to win every single season series against each team, chances are, no one would make the playoffs.  I'm pretty sure of it.  So the Sox have a losing record against the twinks, a winning record against the braves, a winning record against the yankees, and a losing record against Toronto(I just guessed at these), that means what?  Oh it doesn't.  It matters what their overall record is.  Again, to beat the point on the head, the Nationals have a better record head to head against the Yankees this year, so they are CLEARLY a better team.  It's baseball moron.  The ENTIRE Regular season record is what matters.  Not your head to head matchups.  Baseball is a streaky game.  The twins have won 9 out of 10.  I'd call that a streak.  The Sox are playing .500 ball as of late, AND were on a road trip in your bubble.  What does it mean?  Not a goddamn thing.

I'll take the mustard argument over your crap.  There's a reason the Yankees and Sox make the playoffs each year.  Because they WIN ALL year, not just 9 out 10 games in June.  

PC, I enjoyed the Mustard in Cleveland, but man were those people mean!

[lewdogg11]

Isnt there some irony too that these so called Twins fans show up when they are on a streak?  Enjoy it while you can.  And Ortiz does tons of steroids!

And what would you say to the irony that the LLPP never showed up on the MIAC board and vice versa until both teams had a playoff winning streak going?

Did you enjoy it while you could?

Let me take the analogy a bit further using your own words:

All I can say is that you have to MAKE the playoffs in order to win or lose them.  ...
It matters what their overall record is...


I'll take the mustard argument over your crap.  There's a reason the Johnnies and Linfield Wildcats make the playoffs each year.  Because they WIN ALL year, not just 3 or 4 games in September. 

PC, I enjoyed the Mustard in Cleveland, but man were those people mean!

I will also agree to the Mustard in Cleveland being superior to any I have ever had.
The Jake is also the best stadium to watch baseball I have ever been in, granted my experience is very limited.

[lewdogg11]

There was no reason for us to post in the MIAC room prior to that.  And we don't post there now.  So what's your point?
