Jesus that's annoying (and I'm surprised that it's still around -- and why the hell haven't Native American mascots been sued out of existence, btw?). This postseason is gearing up to be the most interesting one in a while (discounting last year's), and not just cos the Giants are finally really into it -- though having it all "underdogs" may mean a lower quality brand of ball played.

Braves and Yankees out in first round = BEST PLAYOFFS EVAR

If the Twins win the World Series I will laugh and laugh because who outside of Minnesota can name more than two current Twins players? Hell, the most well-known guy on the roster is a coach (that would be St. Paul's own Paul Molitor, word the hell up).

Nate, I could name you a good number of their players AND their 3rd base coach (Mr. Al "I Like Kirby's Buddha Mound" Newman), but I'm geeky like that.

Having the totally unworthy D-Backs tossed as well makes me happy w/ glee & shit.

lower quality brand of ball played??!!

as us mariners fans can tell you based on last year, the regular season and postseason are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. no way should a team that hit .376 and scored 31 runs in four games be considered of lower quality.

the twins starting lineup made $8.5 mil this year... TOTAL. haha george, you can buy em but if they don't know their place (weaver=shit in relief) you're sol.

this is the best overall lcs lineup in five years. i can't wait.

the tomahawk chop... why not just call em the spearchuckers and wear blackface to the game? na mascots are still around because there's no na lobby to sue em into the ground where they belong.

I have quite enjoyed reading all the shocked press in New York. My next round wishes: Cards win, Rolen heals, Bonds chokes (so my voodoo didn't fully work last round).

hmm, like david wells giving up 8 runs in 4 2/3 innings? or the patented braves october swoon? that weird, sorta hostile statement sounds like steingrabber-approved propaganda to me.

go twins!!

nate a number of people inside minnesota cannot. I can't even get the guy who's in the pool equipment commercials or whatever!

I can name every single fucking Minnesota Twin. And now I'm rooting for Anaheim. And the goddamn Giants won a playoff series. Please shoot me.

Angels-Twins, Giants-Cardinals would probably have been my dream championship series line-up at the start of the season. Well, maybe Angels-Red Sox actually, but it's close enough. :)

(I know who Torii Hunter is! I bet if I lived in MN, I'd know the rest of them, too.)

i'm crossing loyalties to root for the angels, tho if the twins win we might get more locker room booty shaking, which would be nice.

ECKSTEIN FOR MVP!!!!!

Bonds chokes

Surely Bonds is akin to a publicly reviled artist who arts for his own pleasure? Surely!

And my comment on lower quality ball was directed mostly at my own Giants -- I do not need the added drama of two on and no out GODDAMN ROBB NEN.

And the goddamn Giants won a playoff series. Please shoot me.

Why the Giants hate? They're the West coast, NL Red Sox! (Cept with about $20 million less in payroll.)
