NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 QUOTE(danman31 @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 03:39 PM) That is pretty good though. I hope this team can finally beat them. It's not like I hate them more than before. I've always had hate for the Twins. At the same time I have had respect for them, I always seem to manage a couple Twins on my fantasy team. This year I'm Twin free! Must be an omen lol. A nice little 3 game sweep of the upcomming series should quiet those assholes for a while.

KWs OK for Me Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 04:28 PM) They've earned the right to make fun of the Sox. I thought the Us vs. Them ad the Sox had last year, making fun of the Cubs was pretty funny. I also thought the AM 1000 ad on a building outside of Wrigley Field several years ago which stated major league baseball was played 8.1 miles south was hysterical. It probably did go a little too far, and the White Sox ask AM 1000 to change it. So if you are upset about it, remember our team has used the same kind of thing. I think that Billboard might have been my favorite ad of all time. It was absolutely hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff like that helps us at least as much as it helps them. That being said I rolled on the floor laughing when I first heard about the 8.1 miles south billboard.

Mplssoxfan Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I'm a bartender, so I've already seen that ad plenty of times, each time with someone laughing and asking, "Is that yours?" The Twins also have an ad which they are running on bus stops near colleges and universities in the area with a college-aged kid wearing a Sox cap and jersey, hanging from a coat hook with a wedgie. It's for their student nights, and it explains that they will even sell to Sox fans. It's worth a chuckle or two, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 QUOTE(ChiSoxFan @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 04:22 PM) Buerhle vs Santana on Sunday? The way those 2 pitch during games, ESPN better have a rerun of Tilt or Dream Job to offset the 3rd hour. That's gonna be a hell of a game. I cant wait!

Yeah I see them all the time up here and have to admit they are pretty funny ads...both the jersey one on TV and the billboards. Off topic for a second...where do you bartend at up here?

Could be good for JR's bottom line. Then again, maybe Boyer should ask for permission to use the idea ... using a Cubs jersey.

Chisoxfn Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I wonder if they will do some other us vs them commercials just before the interleague matchups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
