This is off topic. Does anybody know of any good Twins message boards?

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 12:37 AM) BUT the ILLINI came up short........ True. I'm obviously hoping our season ends on a more positive note.

What a great weekend for Sox fans. Two awesome come from behind wins on back to back nights. This year has that "Illini" feel to it for some reason.

I wouldn't call the Indians a threat at this point. They're on a pretty good hot streak right now. Will see what's up in a month.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 01:46 PM) Basically the Pacers made the deal because Bender is a number on their cap and the #17 pick, they didn't feel comfortable taking someone there who they could feel would contribute right away. They feel that Devean George and Medvedenko can however and the pick is a throw-in. Don't be suprised if they make another move to get some capspace. I see. So they don't feel anybody can help them with that 17th pick? I find that hard to believe. There's some good player's to be had at that pick.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 01:51 PM) 3 run double for Jackson. 4-1 Padres. I luv the Padres.

QUOTE(bmags @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 01:31 PM) is there a throw up smiley... :puke This is indeed sick.

I like this move. For one, Brandon gets a chance to start against a s***ty team. Second, Hernandez gets a breather. We need him for the second half. I think will be alright without him until then.

This question is for Greasywheels or any other Pacer's fan. What the hell is up with this rumored to happen Bender and the 17th pick to the Lakers for George, Slava and the 37th pick swap? I mean, I know Bender has been injury prone and hasn't really produced yet. But he's still only 23. And the Pacers could get at the very least a good role player with the 17th pick. George and Slava are bums. So you're basically trading a young talent and the 17th pick for the 37th pick. What gives?

Outstanding. I've got to admit, I was skeptical about this guy at first. But with everything i've learned about him the last couple weeks, the interview, and now the awards he's receiveing, I think we've got a legitimate stud on our hands.

So does that make it like 40 consecutive starts of atleast 6 innings? Amazing!

If Mark had said this about any other team besides the Flubs, Red Sox, Or Yankees, we wouldn't hear a damn thing about it.

I'm gonna sound like a homer. But I really wouldn't trade him for anybody. Is Mark the most talented pitcher? No. The most dominating? No. Does he have the best stuff? No. Is he the most consistent? Well, since 2001, he has been. Is he the most durable? Has he ever been on the dl? I think not. You know what you're getting from Mark every year. That means A LOT in my book.

Great all around game tonight. Mark is on another level right now. Frank must think this is 1994 and not 2005. Pod's was a maniac on the basepaths. Too bad the Padres couldn't help us out.

Do the Hogs play in a little league park?

El Duque > Cotts, Diaz, Munoz, Grilli, and the rest of the bums we had start last year.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 12:07 AM) It's too bad Daigle is nearing 26 and playing in Single A. He might be a late bloomer. I can't wait till he moves up to B-ham.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 02:59 AM) The Bulls got hosed there. They could've had Larry Hughes. Ended up with Jamal Crawford. Jerry Krause wasn't half as good a gm as he thought he was.

Cotts has been super impressive of late. He looks so much more confident out there. And yes, he's throwing strikes. It seems so simple. But that's basically the key. And by the way, indentify yourself if you thought two of our 3 best relievers to this point would be Politte and Cotts?

I'll be extremely pissed off it we don't atleast take 2 of 3.

The Pirates were screwed. Game should've been over way before that.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 02:02 AM) We haven't looked too good lately. I wouldn't gloat too much. We've won 6 of our last 9. They've lost 3 of their last 4 by scores of 8-1, 9-1, 15-5.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 02:43 AM) Really? I dont think we ever had him. Wouldn't surprise me though. Would be just another krause blunder. We had him.

I still get the chills when I think about that game. I was at the espn zone in downtown Chicago with a friend watching the game. I was so f***in depressed most of the game. I was ready to head out with about 6 minutes to go. Then I decided that I would just hang around and watch till the end. I don't think i've ever been as emotional and LOUD as I was the last 4 minutes and overtime. I just kept saying to myself "How the hell did we comeback?" It sucks we couldn't finish the job against NC. But the Arizona game will be with me forever.

We all called it. It's amazing what a guy like Frank can do for a line-up.
