Heh, can't finish ay? Typical Minnesota team. Set up the sweep and then lose. Kind of like all that work to get the one playoff game against the Sox and then suck.

I bet they get it down to 1 game, then manage to choke again.

It means they are a team he supported who failed to win. ;)

How so? You got your foot on someone's neck you don't let them get up so they can punch you.

Wow that is maybe the worst analogy of all time. Blackburn made 1 bad pitch in a game between two evenly matched teams...no one had their throat on anyone's neck they were standing toe to toe.

Methinks he may have been referring to the recent series with the Tigers, not the playoff game last year. :confused:

But the whole conversation started because he said we sucked in the playoff game last year...

Either way, ONCE AGAIN the analogy blows because it isn't even close to a parallel. Scooby acts like only the Twins control what happens in a game. Like the Tigers or Sox aren't going to get chances, or be able to pitch and field. That is what his little analogy says.

Now maybe it would work if the Twins had a big lead in the game Sunday or the playoff game last year but that isnt true.

Sorry. Being more general than that. You had won the first two games of the series, you only need one more to finish it out. Your answer is to basically not score?

I see your giving them the moral victory ploy. Sorry, that doesn't fly with me anymore. I admitted that maybe all we can ask for is division titles for this team, but now that I'm asking for that I have to concede the game to the Tigers because they're evenly matched?

The analogy is that they had a series sweep on their bats and they blew it. You don't like the analogy fine, but that's the analogy. I WAS NOT IMPLYING that in the microcosm of that one game they had their boot on their throats.

Anyone else sick of moral victories in the Twin Cities. It kind of makes me wanna puke.

So when the Yankees totally blew it against the Red Sox a couple years ago, would you have called that "typical Yankee baseball" because they didn't put the Sox out of their misery? There's 162 of these...more if you make the playoffs. There's a reason no one's ever won more than 120 in a season.

Do the Yankees have a history of doing such a thing?

Do the Twins?

I rest Scooby's case.

No one said anything about a moral victory, but hey if it makes you think you are right feel free to make more crap up cause it is funny. Just keep ignoring that other teams play the game too and have just as much control over the outcome as the Twins. "The Twins win when they try to win and lose when they don't..." you definitely sound like the fans on the hockey side of the board.

When was the sweep on their bats? They had A CHANCE to sweep when the game started but it wasnt like it was bottom of the 9th and the bases were loaded and Mauer struck out. Nathan didn't come in and blow the save. Detroit played a good game and won...amazingly that tends to happen over the course of a season. You act as if it was a foregone conclusion well if you want to play that game that is fine, then the Twins should have lost to Verlander Saturday so it is a wash.

I am one of the few people around who don't drink the Kool-Aid, hell I don't even care if they win the Division because the Yankees will most likely sweep them out of the playoffs but the way you talk the Twins ****ed down their leg...hell reading your posts you would think it was the Twins choking away the lead not Detroit.

According to LaVell Neal's blog Span has had headaches since getting pluncked & won't play today but could be back tomorrow.
