Benchwarmerjim Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 James the Twins fan checking in here. (dont throw anything at me yet!) Well, its the All Star break and your team is running away with the division. I must give your team some props for an outstanding first half. I kept hoping for some sort of slowdown so my team can catch up, but it never happened. But I also must say, you Sox Fans here... you guys and gals are pretty cool.I had this thought about Sox Fans as just being a beligerant blowhards. Boy I was wrong. A lot of you are very passionate about your team, and a lot of you are very knowledgable about your team, baseball in general, and the whole world. And you cant knock a bunch of folks for that. Im not quite throwing in the towel, but 10 games is a lot of games to make up. But you never know And if your team does make it to the playoffs and my team doesnt, well youll have one person here cheering for ya James ok now you can throw things at me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AddisonStSox Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Head up, Jimbo. The reason the Sox are winning (and winning so often I may add ) this season is largely in part to modeling the team after the back-to-back-to-back AL Central Divison champs from up North. Yes, it appears the Sox are heading to the playoffs, but there is a long way to go and any fan that told you otherwise is just downright goofy. The Twins stand just as good a chance as any to make it via the Wild Card. ...just stay the hell away from the AL Central crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like every team's fans think that of other team's fans. It's refreshing to see someone willing to see beyond the stereotypes. Oh, and just in case there are other lurkers out there looking for stereotype reinforcement . . . . . . . . .

southsider2k5 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Thanks for the nice post Jim. The biggest compliment you can ever give to an opposing fan who posts on their rivals board is that you never knew they were a fan of that team, and I can't say how many times I have seen that exact comment made about you. You hold yourself with a ton of class, and are always welcome around these parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RibbieRubarb Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 10:41 AM) Head up, Jimbo. The reason the Sox are winning (and winning so often I may add ) this season is largely in part to modeling the team after the back-to-back-to-back AL Central Divison champs from up North. I concur. I think the reason the Twins are haveing trouble this year is that they went away from their formula. Not as many hit & runs, SB are down, Strikeouts are up. Still...I'm not counting the Twins out until our Magic number is 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Indeed. The Twins still have a run in them. I think we'll withstand it this year, finally. Thanks, Jim... we appreciate you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he's got eyes in the back of his head Thanks for the nice words, but this thing is only half over so far. Anything can happen after the ASB (but I hope it stays the way it's been going).
