Break out your brooms

With apologies to my friends in the Red Sox Nation, I'm exalting in the fact that the
Twins swept the BoSox yesterday. Mostly because we need the wins more than Boston, who's only a game behind the Yankees at this point. They can go get wins against someone else. The Twinkies, on the other hand, need to get wins against just about everybody right now. Let's hope they can actually win on the road this weekend against Pittsburgh.

As a side note, Ortiz and Francona were pissed when Ortiz's massive fly ball that would have shot into the upper deck hit a speaker and became the longest single ever. I understand they're pissed because they missed out on a homerun, but Francona compared the Dome to a mini-golf course with obstacles and said "the outcome of the game should never, never hinge on a speaker. That's stupid."

Well Terry, if Ramirez hadn't stuck out (twice) with the game on the line, you would have won. Also, you play in a park with a massive green wall that stops fly balls that would be home runs in other parks. Why are you so pissed off about the design of a stadium giving you trouble? And David, if you had actually hustled around the bases you could have easily gotten to 2nd on that hit, and then you would've had a chance to score instead of getting doubled off like some Galapagosian Tortoise on the next play.
