I wish "fans" would stop going to games, but 80% that attend games could not tell u 5 players on the team. It's something to do for them.

Sure

You think your average "fan" in the stands could name 5 players? NO way!

Yes the average fan could name Rosario, Gibson, Berrios, Kepler, and Sano

So you go around and ask an “average” fan to name 5 Twins players? Kind of like your 100 posts on how the stock market is going to crash

I figured a Trump voter wouldn't be smart enough to figure out what I meant. Geez

For most of them it's like a minature State Fair food experience with something to watch while they eat and drink. If the Twins are say 3-5 games out of first place in mid-August the attendance will really go down. It goes down that time of the year because people are getting ready for school, squeezing in a late vacation, getting ready for the State Fair ect.

1 game back after Wednesday?

[RubeTube]

Yanks will win 2 of 3

Indians will win 2 of 3

1 game lead going into next weekend.

Might be the most idiotic take in Rube/Froob history..

This goes to the list.

Geez.....using rough percentages...I have a feeling Twins fans are more aware than Wolves, Vikings fans..

How many people at Wolves game could name 4 players?
At a Vikings game 10?

[JPM]

It's something to do for all "fans".

If this team wants to make a statement this is the series to do so. Don’t feel real confident about it but on any given day

[boxter432]

man this would have felt alot better if we could have won the first mets game after Arraez had the best at bat of all time. coming in with 2 strikes after schoop tweaked something and coaxing a walk was incredible and should have absolutely led to a win. that set the tone for the week. multiple more bases loaded just complete fuck ups, including a game losing GDP last night. they just can't seem to not shoot themselves in the left testicle 4x a game, luckily the gun jammed today and Max came through. hopeully it leads to a series win w/ NYY who are playing well. but are not playing any amazing bball or anything.

Was it the 09 Tigers collapse season where the Ojects in your mirror thing started? That was 10 years ago.

Yep. I remember the Twins being 9.5 games back but maybe at one point it was more (?)
I went to the 163rd game, it nice to have a Dome that day because it really rained. Then the next night was Favres first game as a Vike vs. the Pack, it was moved to Tuesday I think.

Favre vs Pack was on Monday night. I was there. They showed the Twins on the jumbotron with the Twins song playing.


163 was the next day. My college roommate went. Probably the best two day span of MN sports of my lifetime

Pretty sure attendance has sucked for most of the decade while the team was shit. You want fans to not show up for a first place or wild card team?


I attended one game since '11 and have gone to three this year.

That was one of the funniest stretches of baseball ever.

If we can just win ONE game versus the Yankees I will be tickled pink. I think we can do it.

looking forward to it though. if you want to be the best you have to beat the best.

[salamander]

Dam, I just checked the schedule. Since losing 2 out of 3 to us the Indians have only lost 1 game.

[salamander]

1 out of 3, I think we're good enough to pull that off.

[RubeTube]

2 games back!

Oh my!

[D_H]

Just a matter of time. I said by the end of July and I'll stick with that.

"The Indians are now 26-9 since June 13 as they hold on for a 14-inning victory over the Royals. What's been the key? Well, they're 10-0 against the Tigers and 8-2 against the Royals in that stretch. Keep this mind as they sit 2 games behind the Twins: They have 19 games left against the Tigers, Royals and White Sox -- but the Twins have 33."

- ESPN writer David Schoenfield

I do tip the hat to the Tribe beating the snot out of some shitty teams, let's see if the Twins can match that with their games against the bottom feeders while Cleveland gets to play some tougher opponents. I know we are all sweating bullets with the 2 game lead, but "its a marathon, not a sprint".

I think a pennant race is better for this team than coasting to a division title provided we make the playoffs.



And not to mention, a lot more entertaining.

I said this on another forum and a Cle fan went nuts...I'm like I'm saying the only reason the division is close is b/c the Indians have played the central TWELVE (this quote shows 14 so maybe I was off when I looked quickly) more times than the Twins, it was a pure numbers/quantity game, as we have better w% against all the AL divisions than Cle, just that they played so many against Detroit. Now this doesn't guarantee we go 27-6 against those guys or anything, but yeah crazy that the discrepency is even that big and not more evened out throughout the season (could be good for us as those teams bring up minor leaguers and sept callups instead of some big leaguers)
