Alcs!

Well the reason people don't like going to the Minnesota Twins games is the dome. I know lots of people who won't go to a game because of the dome. But when the dome was built (before contractable rooves did not exist) we needed it. It can snow in april, and it can snow in October. So we need to have cover at some point. But belive me people LOVE the Twins and have loved them from 1961 to 2002.

Oh and Twins won tonight!! 2-1, Mays came through for us. The Ape only got a run off an Error, so yeah.

As for the NCLS, I want the Cards to win. Barry Bonds is an asshole. I was watching a baseball show showing interveiws with him over the years, man what a jerk. And he does not deserve that Home Run record. I was watching a All-Star game from like 1994 and Barry was a rail! And then suddenly in 1999 he runs on to the feild suddenly the size of Hulk Hogan? I hope those Home Runs make up for the penis that he will be losing.

Asshole or not, Barry is by far the best hitter in the game. Because of his father and god-father, he has been in the spotlight since he picked up a bat, so i don't blame him for not being friendly to the media for all these years.

Whats up with the pink handkercheifs that the twins fans were waving?

[Jimmy Carter]

White hankies. They look pink due to the red lettering, I imagine. "Homer Hankies" is what they're called. Everyone else has cool stuff, we have things that we can blow our noses with.

[Clash!]

What?! Come on Jimmy! Positive vibes man! Dissing the Homer Hankey!?! Whats that? Come on! The Homer Hankey came about in the 1987 Playoffs, and they returned in the 1991 playoffs, and they are here again. Not really sure why they were invented, why the Hankey is the way to go. But I imagine it has to do with lots of people in Minnesota in the olden days having them to wipe their noses due to the cold weather, just a guess.

But at least we have something. Watching a Giants game the fans just don't seem into it. Just sitting there not holding anything. One thing I hate though is the Braves Tamohawk Chop, YUCK!

But yeah the Hankey is White with Red Letters on it and a Red Outlined baseball. Thus the slight pink look it gets when 55,192 fans wave them in the air! How the hell did the Ralley Monkey get started anyways? Crazy Aneheim fans.

And I don't care if Barry is the best hitter, its not based on pure talent. Its called Steroids. And makes me so fucking angry! Baseball is becoming just a Homerun dual. The science of hitting is starting to fade with all these guys strictly trying to belt out dingers. I don't mind the rest of the Giants team, they are great. Bonds does not deserve anything in my opinion. Babe Ruth (a fat man) could belt out 60 homeruns based on pure talent. Bonds can only do it with chemicals, yeah what a hero. Same with Sosa, that guy is now a professional wrestler as well. Makes me sick.

... eh hem ... positive vibes.


HOORAY FOR THE HOMER HANKEY!

There. Now if you'll excuse me, I must go blow my nose.

Indeed, leave fucking Barry alone.

[Jimmy Carter]

I wasn't defending Barry, more I was summoning positive vibes to cheer for the Homer Hankey.

My apologies for loose text!

Steroids do NOT help anyone hit major league pitching. And it's not just strength - look at Shawn Green and Troy Glaus. Those guys are string beans, and they still launch thirty homers a year. It's a combination of bat speed, timing, pitch selection and knowing the pitchers. Barry Bonds has the quickest bat and the best eye in baseball, and steroids are not to blame. He doesn't swing at bad pitches, and never gets fooled. He's worked extremely hard, and that's why he's as feared as he is. If only all MLB players had his dedication. He didn't hit .370 (against a shifted defense, by the way) by accident.

I'm still not a fan of Bonds as a person, but he deserves - and has earned - every ounce of respect he gets.

Watered down pitching, smaller stadiums, improved bat wood, and tighter stitched baseballs are more to blame when it comes to the increase in home runs - not steroids.

Oh - GO ANGELS! Garret Anderson for MVP! No other team in MLB history has had two guys named Troy!

Steroids would give you a faster bat speed, along with the ability to launch the balls much further. And the only reason he doesn't swing at alot of bad pitches is because every pitch he gets is a bad pitch so he knows not to swing at most pitches..

And yes, that does play into it, however, steroids even greater the effect. Babe Ruth, if playing today, could never hit 73 homeruns without juicing.

And on another note, Bonds is a total jackass.
He demands 2 (or 3) personal lockers, and totally secluded from the rest of his teammates. He has almost his own room. He's an asshole to his teammates, also.
That deserves respect?
