Is that an accusation? Are you saying it is impossible for guys that short to be that powerful? Edited August 11, 2018 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't like an Indian, Twin or Tiger. The Royals have been a relative non-factor during Sox contention years so I don't really hate them as much as the other three.

I despise the Twins with every fiber of my being. There is nothing I enjoy more than seeing the Twins epically fail in what is supposed to be a contention year for them. 2001-06 did it for me. The Indians aren't far behind in drawing my ire, due to employing noted assholes Albert Belle and Manny Ramirez during my formative baseball years. I puked when the Sox signed Belle, and rejoiced when he took himself and his degenerate hip to Baltimore.

Dude, I will never forgive AJ for the things he did as a Twin. To this day, I can't stand the guy. I couldn't stand him with the Sox, but I still rooted like hell for him.
