Gene Honda Civic Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I think Minnesota seceded from the Union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I was hoping you were gonna say their new marketing gimmick was, "It's Time." We all know how well that bit of marketing genius worked out..... JM: "If you come to our park, you better bring your 'A' game." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I actually believe they were contracted from the union. My memory is beer-induced fuzzy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 They should have just used something catchy like "3 time defending division champs." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitewashed in '05 Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I would think that the MLB makes all of its club sites dont you think? So in a way, the Twins didnt steal our font, the designers for MLB just used similar font for Twins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually each site is run individual under MLB supervision but still has its owner designer and webmaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUGGERNAUT Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Since this is a Twin related thread let me ask this question. A cub fan I know suggested the Cub would sell-out if they moved to the burbs & into a 50K stadium. I said no. I said you have to consider that if the Cub move out another MLB team is going to want to play in Wrigley. The Cubune would have to probably sell Wrigley to the ISFA in order to get approval for their new place. That would mean the new Wrigley occupant would rent the stadium from the ISFA. With that being the case I think it's a given Selig would approve the move. Which team would move to Wrigley? I say Twins. Cubs move to Schaumburg or Addison Twins move to Wrigley & the NL Sox stay at the Cell Pitts, & Milwaukee join the AL. Rays move into Rollerdome Royals join the ALW New Cub division is: STL, Cub, Twins, Astros, Cin New NYY division is: NYY, BOS, Pitts, Bal, Tor New Sox division is: Sox, Cle, Milw, Det, Rays New Oak division is: Oak, Sea, Tex, ANA, KCR 15 in AL, 15 in NL The Cub might never win a World Series again!

Unless you had interleague play all year long... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It would actually help standardize the schedule doing away with the terrible two & 1 game series that exist now with these crazy off days. Every series would be a 3 gm series. Each team would play 54 series. Ex: Sox vs ALC: 4 teams, 7 series = 28 vs ALW: 5 teams, 2 series = 10 vs ALE : 5 teams, 2 series = 10 vs NL : 6 teams, 1 series = 6 Just over 1/2 of the series will be against division rivals. The way it should be. The Cubs would consume 2 of the 6 teams for the Sox. Throughout the year there would be 54 IL matchups. About 9 a month. That still allows 126 IL matchups during the exclusive play period in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some matchups I just threw together using the 15 AL teams you listed. NYY vs BOS Pitts vs Bal Tor vs Sox Cle vs Milw Det vs Rays Oak vs Sea Tex vs ANA KCR vs ??? Who are the Royals supposed to play? The NL team that doesn't have an opponent??? You have to have an even number of teams in each league or else you will have this situation every single day...
