That City is very Clean. Most of the people are very friendly.
I dont like Dangelo Jimenez anymore. Konerko is hurt. He cannot be this bad otherwise. Im tired of Carlos Lee swinging for the fences everytime up. Though he did get some good cuts in this weekend. Torri Hunters game saving "catch".........was Metrodome Aided. Carlos Crushed that ball....and from where WIlkes and I were sitting, that ball was on a Line Drive to the next zip code, when.....suddenly......it just kind of hung.....and .....
died up there all of a sudden. Great Catch, but if the people working those "fans", the 3 or 4 of them that you see behind homeplate, they keep the Roof "Inflated" if you will, magically turn the "fans" on when the Sox bat, that ball is long gone. Every Inning when the Twins Batted, you would notice a marked and noticable increas in the "breeze" in the stadium. Funny, because were indoors, how could there be a breeze right? Well, when the Sox batted, suddenly, there was no wind at all. just as quiet as a lazy summer day in the swamps of Louisiana.
Twins Fans think all Sox Fans are dirty violent people who would love to beat up an umpire first chance we get. Unfortuneately, they read the same Media outlets we do (albeit on a national level) There was a Twin Fan at the game, had a sign that said "Real Sox Fans" and had pics of the goofs who ran on the field recently. When I pointed out that those were cub fans from the previous afternoons games, we were accused of being cubhating liars just trying to pass the blame. Took the better part of a few Innings to Explain My Manifesto on the Media.
They believe now. Kenny Williams Needs To Go. So Does Manuel. Its not all Jerrys fault, and I sympathize with him, but "Flash" is a "Specialty" pitcher. the guy we should bring in for 2 batters tops. As long as hes striking everyone out. but as soon as he gets behind once in the count, bad things happen. I saw it coming again today, but It was Too Late at that Point for Jerry to make a move. There were a LOT OF SOX FANS UP NORTH THIS WEEKEND. Was very nice to see. Where I sat, there were many of them near our section, and was nice to get the old "SOUTH SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE" mock chant going among us.
Made the locals a little nervous though..... I asked my sister to watch the game, and Tell me if WGN was Showing GFS's. (Gratuitous Fan Shots on the Road) They Didnt. Too Bad. THERE ARE MANY MANY SOX FANS IM DISCOVERING all across this great land of ours. Was Excellent, as I tried to say Hello to almost everyone of them I met. Many drove/flew up for the game. Many were Transplanted. Many became Fans just because. Many were local. Its an amazing and curious sight to behold. What is even More Amazing about this , is the FACT we all know THE SOX GET NO MEDIA (let alone positive) MEDIA COVERAGE. So Scott from Edina MN, we drank beers before the game at Humphreys with a bunch of your Sox Friend buds, CHEERS! hope you post at WSI soon... Twins fans are somewhat Knowledgable about the game. They Clap alot. Their HotDogs suck. The Metrodome is awful with Green Concrete and some bases. Terrible. It Felt very otherworldly in there. After a while, I asked my nephew, who was looking around and taking it all in from our seats, what he thought of the place......."I Dont Like this stadium...It looks like a warehouse"
Despite all the Events of the past weekend, I ask myself why I remain a Sox Fan. And I realize why. Because of the couple thousand other Sox Fans who showed up in this god-forsaken stadium to Cheer on the good guys in black.
