[cmk61478]

I still get goosebumps watching that game, to bad we suck in postseason play though.

[MrRyanjsand]

i was there i was a little to the left of you :D it was crazy

[nickypmn1991]

@MrRyanjsand i was there too, oppisite side of the dome. THAT GAME WAS AMAZING.... CELEBRATED LATE INTO THE NIGHT!!!!

[kei0kusanagi]

This was one of the best F***ing game ever and I freaking missed it!!!!!!!!! I got the news afterwards and went ballistic. GO TWINS FOREVER!!! thanks for the videos.

[xrs54]

Best game I've evern watched!!!

[gogogomez122]

nice and calm... cmon casilla!! there it is go go go!! AHHHHHHHH! priceless

[11gobigred]

You have the singing along part but you need the part where they say south detroit and the whole stadium boos. That was truly a feel good moment hahah

[naterosha]

Yeah, I wish I had that. I didn't start recording until after that part. Still the best game ever played in the Dome..

[katielynn1000]

IM IN THIS VIDEO!!! i wa sitting right in front of you at the game and took a picture for you and your friend in front of the field after this celebration!! that was THE BEST twins game of my entire life!!!! Its really fun to see this video and find myself in it 3 months later!!!! go twins!

[aj0446]

i tell you what, the yanks won cuz they are the yanks, but the twins won cuz we have heart and believe anything can happen,

[XxLoGiiKzZxX]

i almost died through out this whole game

greatest game i have ever saw!

[nickypmn1991]

@XxLoGiiKzZxX Dude i was there... It was even better in person

[blind1709]

If this game wouldnt of sold out in minutes i would of been there. I cant imagine the energy in the dome when Casilla had the game winning hit. Farewell dome, Hello Target Feild!!

[Shaun102578]

2 things, 1st: The Yankees didn't beat the Twins, the Twins beat themselves!! Secondly, After the Yankees go down in 4 games against the Philly's, is anybody going to even remember how the Yankees got to the WS??? nope, they will just remember a $180 million payroll bought a ticket to another lost world series.. Im so glad I'm not a yankees fan.. and as soon as there is a cap in baseball, the yanks and red sox will be bottom feeders in the AL East... mark my words.. Yanks dont know baseball!!!

[Uvissiet]

@Shaun102578 No, the Yankees beat our Twins like they always do. They swept us this year, regular season and playoffs. If payroll is the excuse, then how did the Twins win the game in this video, and the season series, against the 5th highest payroll in baseball?

If a cap is imposed, the Yankees and Red Sox will trade talent for prospects and picks and enjoy years of security at the top, just as the Detroit Red Wings did.

And it's "Phillies", not "Philly's".

[Shaun102578]

Pfft, Yankees don't know how to grow talent. They let other clubs develop players and than they over pay the players later in their careers. If a cap is imposed the Yankees and Red Sox would not be reigning at top of the AL East every year. And who cares if its Phillies or Phillys. I'm not in a spelling bee..

And yes, the Twins beat themselves with costly mistakes. We had 2 of those 3 games won and we blew it. Call it what you want. We beat ourselves. Any self respecting Twins fan knows that.

[Uvissiet]

Doesn't mean the Yankees didn't win, like they did all last year against us.

Why do we Minnesotans insist on denying victory to teams that beat us fair and square (like we did again two weeks ago when the Saints beat the Vikings) when we know perfectly well that we'd demand respect if we won the same way?

That could be why our teams can never seem to get over the top: they know that we'll always hang onto excuses.

[Shaun102578]

You're right, the Twins should have played mistake free. Had they done so, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Yankees suck and the Twins will win it all this year so last year doesn't matter to me anymore. 2010 spring training is around the corner and I am psyched about the team we are putting on the field. Go Twins Go

[Uvissiet]

I'd love to see them win it all this year, and I'm pretty excited about them this year, too. But I'll believe it when I see it. Doesn't mean I'm not rooting for them.

[mitchlel]

@Shaun102578 that's so true about the yankees, sometimes I really wish baseball had a salary cap. I'm so sick of new york being good every season because they can sign whatever free agents they want because they have so much money

[Shaun102578]

I agree 100%, the only fans that disagree are Yankee fans and closet Yankee fans. But how sweet it'll be to show the Yankees that even a $100 million payroll can buy you a ticket to the World Series. Not a chance anybody wins the World Series except the boys in Red and Blue. Go Twins Go

[Coast2Coastbaseball]

it's too bad that the Yankees have the most dedicated owners in all of baseball... when you care enough about the legacy of your team you will do whatever it takes to win, and that's why i respect the Steinbrenners so much... too many owners don't care about their team and are off playing golf somewhere or on the beach drinking a pina colada... i'm not saying the twins owners are one of these people... i think it's amazing what this franchise has done to compete the last few years

[Coast2Coastbaseball]

but still, you have to respect the Yankees to some extent

[BlackNMedBlaze]

@Shaun102578 I like the Yankees but I dont like the fact that they spend millions of dollars on players! It sort of makes baseball boring! Don't get me wrong I love to see them win, but more through their farm system. I want to watch more minor league yankees game! it also makes me mad how the Yankees get rid of their young players from their farm system! I can see why people hate the Yankees. But being from New York and I gotta stick with the Yankees good and bad times!

[BlackNMedBlaze]

@mitchlel Dont worry the Twins will win it all this year! As a yankees fan, I wish they would earn talent instead of buy it. And the Yankees always get rid of future superstars, and spend so much money on A-Rod's and Teixeras! Baseball is supposed to be a sport not a business! Even thought I dont agree with the Yankees tactics, I still have to stick with them! Go Yanks Go! Also it hurts to see that so many teams hate my Yankees! But I can see why now!

[Shaun102578]

only 2 games could have had the dome rocking this loud. game 7's of the 91' and 87' world series..... This was the best game I could have ever got to go to. Glad my family got to witness history, not only Twins history, but MLB history.... and 50,000 of us got to see it live. What a special day!!!! The Yankees still suck by the way!!!!! Go Philly's!!

[Anissa116]

Ahhh I'm IN this, slapping hands with the team!!!!!! What a beyond awesome moment this was, I will NEVER forget it. Thank you soooo much for this, it's so cool to find it here :) THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crickcrackatack]

I'm a yankee so you didnt beat me..... we beat you...HA! moron.

[pbmdh]

And enjoy your purchased championship. If the MLB ever introduced a salary cap the Yankees would be dead last every season. You pay the most and barely walk away division championships, while the twins can pull 5/8 years with about 1/3 the salary money you guys have. So enjoy the world series, because you didn't earn it.

[xTeckno]

GO TWINS!!!!

[crickcrackatack]

Yeah nice job against the Yankees.

At least the tigers Had a chance against them.

[Nubsauce101]

they did have a chance...it's called a 7 game lead on september 7. Who wasn't expecting them to win the division and play the yankees?

[BlackNMedBlaze]

I am a Yankees fan, but I wanna say congratz to the Twins on winning the AL Central. You Twins fans have a lot to be proud of and much luck in Target Field.

[shallen1000]

tigers are still # 1 team. we were robbed. everyone knows that ball hit Inge. we would have tied and went ahead for the win. then we would took the yankees.

[chubbsthedon]

Yes the ball did indeed graze his jersey, but when it comes down to that in the Dome. The ump needed to hear it. Have you ever been there during a game of that magnitude? It's hard to talk to the person sitting next to you. That's what you call Metrodome Magic!

[bukakee1]

Why does it always seem when a team finally makes the playoffs, they have to first play the Yankees and they get spanked!!!

[davecash3]

i was there too! friggen awsome game. i was in first row in left field...got to high five all the players durin victory lap....been lookin all over for photos online but i didnt make any of them!

[rchevalier2012]

nope

[zbitty]

hey norjak71 i wasn't even talking about u lol.

[ShawdowRaptor]

Detroit fans are the ones that are complaining. I just made a small comment and your hiearchy of what's classless apparantley took over. If it had happened to a Twins fan I would have moved on. I think most Detroit fans are just upset because they blew such a big lead.

[norjak71]

i was ojne of the first people to say congratulations to twins fans, i was pissed but that was the greatest game ive ever watched.

[zbitty]

i hate all the fag detroit fans that are being sore losers, ur team sucks, they blew a 7 game lead, they made history in blowing the division when leading by 3 games with 4 games left. and chabowker, the tigers would've gotten their asses kicked by new york too

[norjak71]

i think we beat new york in 2006 lol we woulda beatent his time, and im not a sore loser fan i congratulated the twins on a great game, that was a sad game since we didnt win but also one of hte best, be a bit more classy?

[zbitty]

i hate fag detroit fans that cant accept the fact that the twins won, get over it, really.

motor city kitties, more like motor city pussies

[norjak71]

inge was hit by pitch to. so yeah, you never know.

[ShawdowRaptor]

You mean his jersey was touched...

[norjak71]

look at the rules dumbass. thats all that matters. go ahead look it up.

[brittcossette11]

the song is dont stop believin by journey

[lovinglyinlove]

Thank you.. :)

[lovinglyinlove]

Thanks :)

[lovinglyinlove]

Could anyone please tell me what was the name of the song at 2:30. i tried to search "feel good moment" but i don't think so it was song that was playing at that time. it was right at the victory lap.

[BostonGreen3]

GO TWINS BEAT THE YANKS!!!!!!

[rdiddy08]

chabowker and colorofmoney09 -- never count the Twins out! remember the 1991 world series? game six? the metrodome is an amazing place when it comes to postseason baseball, as you may have noticed last night... let's see how this series against the "damn yankees" goes and then you can pitch in your $0.02 again, okay? thanks.

[olddickbrent]

vikings kill green bay on monday night with their own quarterback to complete a beating of all 32 teams, and the next night the twins pull of one of the best comebacks to take the central, happy days in minnesota, fuck chabowker.

[brittcossette11]

hey chabowker & colorofmoney09... i bet the tigers thought the same thing when they were 7 games up with a month to go but the Twins showed them wrong. Our Twins will give the pathetically overrated yankees a run for their money. and even if we don't win one single game in the series against the yankees the Twins still have more heart in their pinky finger than the yankees could EVER dream of having which is something to be more proud of than any title the yankees will ever have.-- GO TWINKIES!

[crazyal44]

best game i have EVER been to!!!! still can't get over it..

[chabowker]

Once the Twins get swept by the Yankees, you'll realize they're just another shitty team way above their heads.

[crazyal44]

don't comment on this video if you don't like the twins, everyone else is here watching this cause we KNOW they are a good team..

[orenthal]

yeah what a great fucking team, 5 divisions in 8 years and how many ALCS titles? O, the Tigers have O division titles in last 8 years and even they have an ALCS title in that time. Minnesota = a bunch of retarded, gay, white trash

[ShawdowRaptor]

Detroit = only team to loose 3 game lead with 4 games left, ever... lol

[AndyWo587]

BEST TWINS GAME I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!

[ckendall67]

I'm a Blue Jays fan, but you Twins fan, I gotta say it...that game was a CLASSIC!:-D Not the 1st time you guys have seen classic games at the "Homer Dome" either y'know:-)

Going to be tough vs the Yankees, but after watching your Twins get it done, I wouldn't mind watching them make one last playoff run inside the Dome...hey, St. Louis is in the NL playoffs, how 'bout an '87 rematch this year?:-D

[phillyphan801]

GO TWINKIES!!!!!!!!! What a crazy game

[colorofmoney09]

to bad the yankees are gonna sweep you

[Helmblogger]

Awesome vid guys!! Share this vid with every Twins Fan you know!!

[Garnett5MVP]

Best Twins game ever! Family and I saw it, screaming and everything when gomez scored the winning run!

[lesarin]

what a F@#$ING amazing game. I was 15 rows behind the twins dugout. What an emotional and meaningful game to be at. So many ups and downs and to pull it out in the 12th,.

[blackxd42]

Hell of a run and finish. It's gotta suck to be a Twins fan watching all the fair weather fans coming out of the woodworks right now! I bet half the stadium never went to a Twins game all season but will get playoff tickets now.

[dcboy755]

anyone know the name of the song when they first started doing their victory lap?? and im not talkin about journey...it was a jazzy kinda of song

[lesarin]

journey was play sometime during the extra innings, missed the great South Detroit part when we all booed.

[deluca99]

Yea, well let's see if they can get out of the first round!

[minnesotachris]

It was exciting enough just listening to John Gordon and Dan Gladden, I can only imagine what it was like to be there! Go Twins!

[mooseplayer28]
