White Sox vs Twins - Thome Home Run - 9/30/08 - Tiebreaker

[GBev2K]

He crushed that thing...

[pkappel006]

smomrio, thunderstrucksox1018 says it best, I have to agree with what is said since most Sox fans don't have to swear to make or get their point across. Minnesota or Chicago, may the best team win and that includes each and every year. Heck, we are in the same division so we should cheer for the winner that comes out in 1st place........................

[HelloIdiotsWhatsUp]

@pkappel006 Yes sir, you got it right. Most Sox fans don't swear, and most Minny fans don't. However, there are exceptions to every rule (or whatever ya call this), such as smomrio.

Like I said before, it's sad if you can't enjoy baseball without insulting others.

Honestly, I wanted you guys to catch the Rays and be Wild Card; we wouldn't play the Rays then, so Win-Win.

But hey, we could suck in a few years and you guys could win the series. That's baseball. It's still awesome, though.

[pkappel006]

@HelloIdiotsWhatsUp thanks for your opinion partner............go Thome and hope the Twins move forward to the 2nd round with the help from Jim Thome!!!!!!! He is a great guy and we ae lucky to have him on the TWINS

[srnomrio]

Poor STUPID HILLBILLY'S from Minnesota... You seem to be so tough on a keyboard yet how come I don't see any of you come to Chicago for any games. To scared to run your ignorant mouths...RIGHT!!

[HelloIdiotsWhatsUp]

@srnomrio We're "tough on a keyboard", huh? Funny you should be the one to say that...

[luisox28]

thome is a great player but andrew jones is doing good for the sox now.

[bigjoe686659]

that one hurt to watch...but Welcome to Minnesota, Jim!

[ohedd]

HAhahaha it's crazy when they hit that ball. how fast are those balls?

[Jaylinkin]

well usually an average fastball is about 90-95 mph in km its more than 100km

[ohedd]

Ok, 95 mph is around 150km/h, and that is crazy. I'm going to UCLA soon, so I'm trying to learn about American sport culture. Baseball and football is so great compared to soccer, they all talk about back home in Europe...

[schnellermeister]

JUST got back from the Twins/White Sox game at the Metrodome. It was fantastic. Watching this doesn't make me feel so bad anymore!!!

[Triumphit1]

it was like 4000 FEET!

[jcarne1982]

I really don't know what the point you're trying to make is. In baseball, things have a way of turning around very quickly and for the most part, both the Twins and Sox have won pretty consistently, something that should be respected. Have the Twins had a little better of it? In terms of division titles, absolutely. They have a good organization and I respect them. They also have great fans. But you need to respect the Sox as they are also a good organization that wins consistently.

[ligomi]

your squad has been to 3 playoffs since 2000 with 2 first round exits and 1 WS. Clearly i would love the Twins to go on a run like that but lets not act like that 12-4 number is because of deep runs every year like the yankees or red sox of the 2000's.

Oh and in your future talks like this it might benefit you to not put words in someones mouth as often as you do, really makes you come off as a real D bag.

[jcarne1982]

I didn't put words in your mouth. I started it off by saying "I'm guessing you think". I'm allowed to guess right? That one World Series is more than this set of Twins has done. I'll make a deal. We can talk again when the Twins just make a World Series. Until then, this conversation is done. Good luck to both teams this year. I hope we have a good entertaining race this year.

[jcarne1982]

I won't say anything more than that because I'm guessing you think the Twins have the best rotation in baseball and are favorites to win the World Series. Do you know the significance of 6-15? Probably not. But in the 4 playoffs the Twins have been to in the past 8 years, that's their record in the playoffs. The Sox are 12-4 in 2 appearances. As great as the Twins are and as awesome as they will be, that's their record in the playoffs. Can't argue with FACTS. Plus 4 to 2 isn't dominate

[ligomi]

you really think I havent noticed the Twins playoff record? So you can stop pumping your own nuts and saying i wouldnt notice that.

[jcarne1982]

Silly me, you pumping up the Twins like you do made me think you forgot. Sorry.

[jcarne1982]

You need to get off your high horse and stop thinking that the Twins are all perfect and all their fans are perfect. Until you get rid of your 'opinion' that the Twins and their fans are better than everybody else, maybe we can have an intelligent conversation about baseball. Until you tell me how the Twins are going to have the bullpen and pitching to win in the playoffs, this conversation is over. Oh.. and Liriano and Nathan are not enough.

[ligomi]

Name me ONE time i said the Twins or their fans were perfect. Sounds like you just assumed that i said that based off the fact I said Sox fans are dicks. Moving on,are you telling me right now the sox a better rotation then the Twins? Simple question.

[jcarne1982]

You didn't say it in those exact words but picking out only Yankees and White Sox fans as being the only ones that are 'dicks' implies that you think Twins fans are immune to saying stupid things. It's funny that you picked two teams that usually put up winning seasons as having the 'dick' fans. And to answer your question, yes i do think the Sox have a better top 4 than the Twins.. The Twins have Liriano but the Sox top 3 are better than the rest of the Twins.

[ligomi]

your squad has 3 WS titles ever so dont put your team in the same breath as the yankees. and no just because i call your temas fans dicks doesnt mean i think the twins fans are gods.

[jcarne1982]

I misspoke. No one compares to the Yankees in terms of championships. I wasn't trying to compare them. Someone else is putting words into someone's mouth.

[ligomi]

oh and i said rotation, not top 3. So try to answer that again buddy

[jcarne1982]

Yes I do.

[HTDunderOATH]

that was a bommmmmmb!

GO SOX!

Twins suck, will never amount to anything

[ligomi]

wells thats pretty bold to say when all our guys are young and only going to get better while the soxs are filled with alot of old guys and failed prospects. b\plus the fact these team can not win without homeruns and a team built like that NEVER goes anywhere. weird how you guys got handled by the rays, where did all that talents go that week? as i recall the weekend the rays clinched a playoff spot the twins were down there and handled themselves pretty well.

[jppjc]

all coming from a twins fan at home watching their team not make the post season

[ligomi]

how how did the playoffs work out for you guys? You really think that pile of old players is going to keep that pace up? i know you have to see it, i dont expect you to admit it but i know you see it, if you dont you are too dumb to ever see it.

[jppjc]

i wasnt talkin about any teams  just responding to someone who thinks the jerks in chicago are on the south side....which is as false as it can get

now if u wanna talk baseball.....our team happened to make the post season and yours didnt ..........nuff said

[ligomi]

ok well im guessing you are talking about someone else when you were talking about where the jerks reside because i never brought it up but since you asked i will say the only jerk fans to come to the dome are yankee and white sox fans. and based on the ignorant shit i read and personally see from white sox fans ill say the jerks to reside on the south side of a otherwise fine fine city that i love to go to.

and you're right your team did go.....how'd that work out? got exposed as a crapteam

[jppjc]

good one

say all u want but our team beat your team

so....yeah

[jcarne1982]

The White Sox in the playoffs worked out about as well as the vikings in the playoffs. If the Sox got exposed as a crap team, then what does that mean about your Twins?

[ligomi]

oh you mean the twins that lost one of the best defensive CFs, THE best pitchers and a another decent SP and STILL managed to get to where they did? the same twins that had a new 3B and SS damn near daily? those twins. yeah i think with a real 3B, thanks for him by the way, and just another year of all our young guys up here, yeah things are looking good up here. have fun with jermaine dye, thome, and konerko....... hope they can stay healthy

[jcarne1982]

Oh... and where was your new 3B the last two months of the pennant race last year? I love Joe Crede and what he did for the White Sox, but it's a fact he didn't play a full season after 2005. Do you really think he will this year? I'm sure running on that rug will really help his back.

[jcarne1982]

Say what you want about last season. The Twins and Sox both played a full season with no pressure on them. When it counted for both teams, they both choked. We'll see what happens this year when teams don't take them lightly from the start.

[ligomi]

wow, i give you kudos sir, most sox fans could not have wrapped that up without a ignorant swear filled tirade.

[jcarne1982]

Swear filled tirade. I called you a jackass which you are for still not letting go of a season where you blew a division to the Royals and couldn't win one game that mattered. At least the Sox did win one game in the playoffs and they beat your 'awesome' Twins. I'll take one win over not making the playoffs any day. If you want to argue that not making the playoffs is better than making the playoffs then go ahead. You'd be giving a valid claim to my jackass comment. Have a nice day!!!

[ligomi]

And show me where i bashed Chicago. I actually think I praised the city and said I love going there. So I guess this is one "12 year old" that has the ability to read and remember past comments in a discussion.

Oh, you have a nice day too!!!

[ligomi]

but the bottom line is your team did choke in the end, everyone BUT the Phillies choked. Honestly put a % on the odds your team makes a return to the playoffs, in all honestly i put your squad at 30% at best. You are not as good as Cleveland or Minnesota. Have fun watching your team struggle to not finish last with the Tigers.

[jcarne1982]

You give the Sox 30 percent odds? What makes you an expert on that subject? You're a bitter person. I'll feel sorry for you sir or is it madam? Of course you're probably some 12 year old who thinkshe's an expert on baseball. A mature knowledgeable baseball fan wouldn't be coming into a video room of a great homer for the Sox 5 months after the fact and bashing the fans and city. Also, the only jerk fans in the dome aren't Sox and Yankees fans. Ithink you can throw Twins fans in there too.

[ligomi]

Oh i'm sorry, I didnt realize you have to be a "expert" to make PERSONAL projections. Well by your logic I sure hope you haven't made ONE guess at ANY team making the playoffs because like you said, only the "experts" can do that.

On the topic of last season, you clearly missed the entire point of what I was saying, you have a quickly aging squad vs a young squad in Minnesota. It was more me showing so much promise in a young team that will be around for years, unlike those power based sox.

[jcarne1982]

When the Twins win a world series with the guys on this team, I'll give them credit. Hell, if they make the playoffs, I'll give them credit. Until they make the playoffs, your talk about a promising young team that will be around for years is irrelevant. FYI, your comment that the only fans to come into the dome are Yankees and White Sox fans is what drove me to respond to you. Also, I was making fun of the percentage you put on the Sox chances.  I wasn't saying you couldn't make predictions

[ligomi]

Remember the Twins are always in the mix for the playoffs, you cant say that about your sox. So yes saying the Twisn are promising is very relevent. And im sorry if me saying Sox and Yankee fans are the only asses that come to the dome but its true. Almost every sox fan i personally know or run into is a complete dick about that team. Maybe you're not but its fact among Twins fans. True of the players too, name me a Twin player that has ever talked shit about the sox. but the sox love to talk

[jcarne1982]

When is just being in the mix not going to be good enough for Twins fans? You guys seem to always be living for 3-5 years from now and you forget to win in the playoffs in the present. I think it's good that the Twins are usually in the mix, but until you win something, I don't care. If you do, then fine. Also, saying that your opinion is fact is wrong.

[jcarne1982]

How are things looking up there now?

[ligomi]

Your squad is 2 games out and we are 4.5 out with a ton of games with cleveland and KC. We are 7-5 against your squad and 7-3 against the Tigers. And i know you havent forgot about that sweep from not too long ago. So you tell me, what is there to be mad about? You would be flat out a retarded person to say anyone of the Tigers,White Soxs or Twins is clearly hands down better then each other. But you are a Sox fan so im sure you do think your team is better then the Tigers and/or Twins.

[jcarne1982]

So things are looking good then? I didn't say anything about anybody being better than anybody. All I asked is how things are looking. If you think a sweep of the Sox in one series this, a 7-5 record against the Sox, and a sub-500 record is something that's good, then someone else would have to be "flat out a retarded person." The Sox are an old home run based team and the Twins play the right way, but yet here we are again with similar records. It's amazing. How are things looking?

[ligomi]

But see heres the thing, i didnt say my team was better then any other team. You clearly feel you have the better team. I just dont see how you can think that when you having a losing record to the twins AND Tigers.

[jcarne1982]

When did I say that? I'm asking how things are looking to you despite the Twins underachieving horribly. I never said anything about anyone being better than anyone. And through all your posts, it seemed like you were saying the Twins are better than the Sox because of their style of play, which is better. If you don't think that, then I apologize. I misunderstood what you're saying. I guess I have no idea what you're saying. My first question remains, how are things looking up there?

[Mrtilb210]

How are things looking now? White sox are done. Thome is gone and your about to get swept. And the manager and GM are giving up on the team so maybe you fans should too. Twins are gonna when the division. Booya go TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!

[jcarne1982]

Proofread. Twins are going to 'when' the division? The Twins played great baseball the past couple weeks to finally get to .500. Congrats. That's a great accomplishment. The Sox have played miserably for 3 weeks and are only a few games behind them. You're a moron. I guess for every good fan like ligomi who knows what he's talking about and will have some fun, there are morons like you.

[srnomrio]

@Mrtilb210 Not only are the TWINS the worst playoff team in the Central but also in the A.L. and all of MLB for the last what... 6-10 years. At least when the SOX went we WON...Get the chip off your shoulder, just because no one cares about your team up in hillibilly land where it is always cold and crappy. Enjoy because your ship is going down right now....HA!

[iotaminnesota]

@srnomrio hehe.. congratz.. how much more money do you have than us?? i dont think your organization is all there. the twins have always been one of the smallest markets in baseball and always do more with less. it sucks that we don't make the press. even though we field better than the yankees, and are the hottest team since the all star break, yet you rarely see the twins on highlights. regret dropping thome yet?

[srnomrio]

@iotaminnesota If you were anything like the Yankees you would be winning instead of losing in the playoffs, BIG DIFFERENCE....

[HelloIdiotsWhatsUp]

@srnomrio Well that's just rude and unnecessary. What did anyone from Minnesota (which has one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S.) do to you besides love their team? It seems like you've got the chip on your shoulder.

I will also point out that in the past 30 years (the Twins are younger than the Sox, only 50 y.o.) the Twins have won more World Series than the White Sox (2 - 1). They go and win.

Sorry that you can't enjoy baseball without trying to insult fans personally. It's a shame.

[srnomrio]

@HelloIdiotsWhatsUp First of all no one important lives in MinnieTonka and if you want to know the fastest growing city that would be Autstin, TX or Phoenix, AZ. YOu would have to be on drugs to move to a frozen tundra EIGHT months out of the year. The SOX have won three World Series to your TWO so learn something about the SOX before you open your mouth. Last I checked your greatest player of the old days was left to rot and die of drugs and his team did nothing to help him out.

[HelloIdiotsWhatsUp]

@srnomrio Again, rude and unnecessary. Who on earth taught you how to talk to people? I never said THE fastest, I said it was ONE of the fastest. I.E. top 10. Please do your research.

At its very worst, Minnesota has winter weather for 5 months. Typically ~4 months. Poor research.

Ah, you're including 1917 and 1906? Ok. I didn't include the 1924 Twins W.S. so now we're tied 3-3. Modern day: 2-1 Twins.

Shame on you for that last comment. Puckett died of a stroke, and to mock that is horrific.

[srnomrio]

@HelloIdiotsWhatsUp No, you have cold weather already starting in October going into March and April. It is quite hilarious. OH yeah, counting a championship when you were in another state doesn't count. BWAAAAAHAHAHHA!! Your organization could have done a lot more for Puckett when he had his addictions but Pohlad was just a greedy ASSHOLE...

[HelloIdiotsWhatsUp]

@srnomrio Uh.. t's around 4 months. And even if it was October to March/April, that would only be 6 - 7 months. Math failure & humor failure (winter weather = funny?)

And you included the 1906 & 1917 wins... half the teams weren't even around (hah, you an idjiiit).

Do the math: Twins win 2 times in 50 years, the Sox 3 in 100+ years. Twins have the better World Series record. Over.

I dislike Pohlad, but you mocking Puckett is shameful and disrespectful. Grow up.

Respond if you will, I'm done.

[srnomrio]

@HelloIdiotsWhatsUp LOL!!! I love how angry I got you and you decided to be a coward and back out. The fact is we ARE better and have more World Series than you and maybe you will get to the playoffs but there are two things I will always be more grateful for....1. Being a SOX fan and 2. Not having to live in the FROZEN TUNDRA called MINNEAPOLIS...

[srnomrio]

@HelloIdiotsWhatsUp I'm done ..... WAAAAH.... Like a good TWINKIE pouts like his rotten manager....

[HelloIdiotsWhatsUp]

@srnomrio By the way, Kirby Puckett developed glaucoma in one eye and had to retire at 36. It had nothing to do with drugs. He then died of a seizure. I just felt the need to defend Puckett one more time (very low blow, by the way), as he is our Twin through and through.

While I'm at it, how does it feel to be out of the pennant race? I'd imagine it stings a bit. Oh, so satisfying.

You can continue trying to insult me please, because I now get immense satisfaction out of this.

[srnomrio]

@HelloIdiotsWhatsUp Your gonna be out of the playoffs 0-3 very shortly. I like the fact you still responded because of the insecurity of being a MINNESOTIAN and having nothing there but your TWINKIES to depend on for happiness. Have fun in your lakes this winter...OH WAIT you can't swim in a frozen tundra. You get satisfaction from jerking off while you typed your last post is about all. I got you angry. JOB DONE!

Kirby Puckett abused Drugs...stop spinning it to cover it up...!

[srnomrio]

@HelloIdiotsWhatsUp Aren't you the on insulting us on our post rather than celebrate your TWINKIE division on your own You Tube post. Hilarious the insecurity you hillbillies show on this thread.

[xxemcmahon13]

@Mrtilb210 o how r the twins now? 3rd place now sox r in first. ha suck on tht

[iotaminnesota]

@xxemcmahon13 oh.. how are the sox now??? 5th place.. yikes.. it sucks there is such a thing as the present..

[xxemcmahon13]

@iotaminnesota sox r in 2nd place now u dumbass

[HelloIdiotsWhatsUp]

@xxemcmahon13 This comment is why you don't talk try to talk trash during a pennant race.

However, I will say this: lol @ role reversal: Thome takin' down the Sox with his homers and Minnesota in first.

[srnomrio]

@HelloIdiotsWhatsUp The only thing you hillbillies have to LOL at is beating us, but when it comes to winning in the postseason that is when all of MLB is going to LOL at your team. IS Gardy gonna cry....I like that you guys keep him around, He guarantees NO W.S. ever for MINNIE TONKA

[HelloIdiotsWhatsUp]

@srnomrio Naaah, I'm pretty sure I'm lol'ing at the role reversal still.

(MN already HAS 2 world series wins... insult failure)

[srnomrio]

@HelloIdiotsWhatsUp You should LOL in the mirror because I am right....

SOX 3 MIN2

Don't get soooo upset they still give out trophies for second place.....

[HelloIdiotsWhatsUp]

@srnomrio Nah, I'm definitely still lol'ing at the role reversal. Probably still will be when you inevitable reply to this comment.

And I'm sorry, they don't give ya anything for second place in the division... :' ( It's okay, they can give the Sox the "Best Smiles" award, or something! A for effort!

And I'm right, bud. You said "NO W.S. ever for MINNIE TONKA (and I assume you mean Minnesota, because I'm not sure what Minnie Tonka is)", and they already have 2 world series wins...

Aduuuuuh.

[jcarne1982]

Oh, and you must be a psychic because you can tell me what I"m thinking. Impressive, man.

[jcarne1982]

Bold to say? That team built around the long ball beat the slap hitting little (bleeps) the Twins put on the field and made the playoffs. You can't make a vaiid claim against the Sox when your slap hitters didn't go anywhere. Yes, the Twins played the Rays well, but what happened when you had a chance to clinch the division against the Royals? What a jackass. I'm not happy the Sox lost in 4 to the Rays but i wouldn't be sitting here saying i'm happy with a season where my team choked.

[WhiteSoxCowboysfan]

kelstar you making fun of a 12 year old, won't change the fact the sox won the central.

[thejoint25]

We beat 'em when it counted! One of the best games I ever saw! White Sox 4 life!

[PapaRoach473]

what a performance by Danks

[Jaylinkin]

guess what kirby puckett is a dead fuck minnesota is such a garbage state. What the fuck is in minnesota besides skanky rednecks? nothing.........no history in minnesota at all

[kelstarz92]

shows what you know.

(NOTHING)

god. get a clue. you have no idea what you're talking about.

minnesota is NOT a garbage state and there is no reason for you to make fun of it.

leave us alone and go back to your stupid white sox who im so happy to say didnt come near to the world series.

[MikeJustbringit]

yo fuck u have u ever beem to minnesota WTHINK BEFORE U TYPE RETARD

[ELNENE0022]

FUCK CHICAGO THERE FUCKING WACK

[kelstarz92]

amen.

:)

they are SUCH JERKS!

i hate the white sox.

[Jaylinkin]

your just mad they have won a world series within the past five years.

[kelstarz92]

actually no.

im mad because theyre jerks.

as i believe i've already said.

i dont give a crap about the white sox winning world series in the past 5 years.

THATS THE PAST!

when minnesota plays, they do it the right way, the way its supposed to be played.

and i couldnt be happier with our season.

[ruthlessGfrmthacpt]

just hatin lil bitch like da rest of u twinky fans....hahaha

[kelstarz92]

just an idiotic lil (insert whichever swear word you like here) like the rest of u white sox fans... hahaha

no, actually i dont mind white sox fans. just obnoxious swearing haters like you.

[ruthlessGfrmthacpt]

fuck u bitch u twinky fans just mad cause u noobs didnt clinch da division so i advise u nd ur twinky fans 2 turn sox fans cause were gonna clinch again come 2009....hahahhaa

[kelstarz92]

okay. you could stop swearing at me ANYTIME now.

turn into a sox fan? IN YOUR DREAMS!

you know what? you can talk all you want but come 2009 we will see who the REAL central division champoins are. (the twins. duh.)

best of luck to you though!

although theres no way the sox are going to win again.

just like cuddyer's shirts said last year...

"162+ NO EXCUSES.

PROVE THEM WRONG!"

and we will.

just wait and see.

[ruthlessGfrmthacpt]

okay look u twiny bitch da point is dat ur weak ass team didnt win da division....hahahahah

[kelstarz92]

obviously you have a swearing problem.

but whatever.

the point is that yours wont win this year.

now im done talking to you because you are really irritating. so consider this my very last comment to you no matter what you say back.

you know, this just makes my point stronger.

the white sox and their fans are jerks.

you cheer for your team, ill cheer for mine.

and lets leave it at that.

[ruthlessGfrmthacpt]

fuck u lil twinky WHITE SOX 4 LIFE BIAOCH

[thunderstrucksox1018]

I have to apologize on behalf of sox fans everywhere. Most sox fans are intelligent and don't have to swear to make a point. Most sox fans respect what the twins have. In fact most fans, including Ozzie, would love if we could do some of the little stuff the twins do. Last season was great for both teams. We were both expected to battle for third place behind Detroit and Cleveland, but instead it was a 163 game battle for the division. I can only hope next year is as exciting. Good luck in 09!

[kelstarz92]

Wow. Thank you! Thats so nice of you to say.

Sorry if I was mean too, I just get frustrated when people swear at me and tell me the Twins suck, when its obvious if it was that close of a battle at the end of the season, we dont.

I went to a game at US Cellular once and was booed and yelled at too, but now I know that there are only a few mean white sox fans, and the rest are really nice! :)

Good luck to you guys too! I'm sure it will be another awesome season for both of us.

[pkappel006]

@thunderstrucksox1018 GO Minnesota Twins 2010...1st place and beyond!!!!!!!

[srnomrio]

@pkappel006 Beyond what ???? The last game of the season... HA!

[pkappel006]

@srnomrio why are you so pissed off, your team just had a bad year. you should be cheering the Twinkies on since Thome played with Chicago and you should be cheering the Twinkies on since your Team is in the Central but I know, you just feel so bad since our Minnesota Twins clinched the Central division late last night when Chicago got beat again. But good luck next year partner.........!

[srnomrio]

@pkappel006 Pissed off? Is that why you are one a White SOX video posting your little temper tantrums because no one give a HOOT HOLLERING SHIT about the TWINS... I think your pissed because I give your team no respect. :)`

[pkappel006]

@srnomrio thats okay, every person is entitled to his or her own opinion and you have yours and thats it........that is why the world turns and we were all born with our own thoughts and ambitions in life. Your a Sox fan and if Chicago won the division, I would be cheering for your team to go all the way. This is how and why I think, since to me, it's only fair to go with your division winner.

[jppjc]

you think sox fans are jerks?

are you people up in minnesota dealing with CUB FANS???

they are the most ARROGANT people you will find

[nickdevera]

thank you, were usually not dick, but theres always gotta be a few to make the rest of us look bad
