djcollie03 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I have to be there on business for the next three days. Wondering if anyone is going to be in town going to the games? Flying solo right now and would like to meet up with people if they are going. Enemy territory awaits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linnwood Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Whatever you do, don't wear a Pierzynski jersey to the dome! Apparently Pierzynski being traded to the Giants for Nathan and Liriano, while making room for Mauer to play, is some sort of affront to their god. Last series guy behind me shot-off his mouth the whole game, and justified his childish behavior because I dared wear #12. f***ing stupid Twins fans. /rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcollie03 Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 I had the t-shirt out and ready to pack last night when sanity prevailed. I'll still show off the team colors - road jersey and cap but, figured the AJ shirt should stay home. The crowd was fairly docile at the game I went to with no rooting interest. We'll see what kind of abuse I take tonight and tomorrow. Let's hope we get 2 of 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I will try and avoid even watching these next 3 games. But I will probably end up with them on and wincing with everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 6 more games at this abysmal s*** hole. I'm going to throw a party on Sept. 2nd when it's all over for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hopefully that s***ty ass dome will collapse at 3am tonight when it's abandoned and they will be forced to play somewhere else the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djcollie03 Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 A few thoughts on the experience last night. First off, the Metrodome is LOUD - even being only 2/3 full. The roof makes everything echo and makes the PA system a muddy mess. The stadium is a pretty dismal baseball experience with or without the Sox mistakes. I can't imagine wanting to go to many games if I lived in Minny. Target Field looks amazing and the Twins are in countdown mode to get outside. I'm sure the entire Soxtalk board is also on the countdown. As for the fans, there were a few hecklers but, for the most part everyone behaved. I was able to scalp a ticket 9th row just past 1st base for pretty cheap. Perfect location to watch the Sox defensive miscues. The majority of fans seemed unaware of the Sox issues in the dome. I did have one woman behind me that screeched the Twins players names constantly throughout the game... started to wear on me a bit as we made mistakes. The place exploded when Spann caught the ball at the wall and Beckham would have needed crazy concentration to get anything out of that last at bat. All in all, the game was exactly what I expected. Sox derail themselves at the dome once again. Felix, I'll be back again tonight so PM if you want to meet up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
