September 16, 200421 yr 72% said the Sox. 28% said the Twins. Now I love this team and am not abandoning ship despite no playoffs again ( :headshake ), but this was absurd. Outside of Paulie, no one from this infield has even been close to have been consistent this year (maybe Uribe, but that's sort of a stretch). The Twins have interchangeable parts these past couple of years and find a way to make it work. Even with Mientkiewicz in Boston, & Koskie/Rivas in and out of the lineup, they continue to stick other guys in that infield who field their positions well, and still know how to come up with the clutch hit. I understand some people who want to show their unending loyalty to this team, or just their hatred for all things Twinkies, but for crying out loud, be realistic. Overall at this point, the Twins have a far better infield than the Sox do. I hope that is different in 2005, but we'll just wait and see.
September 16, 200421 yr I'm kinda pulling for them to get a new stadium. I think that hard turf is the biggest home field advantage for them. I assume they'd still probably win the divison, but they've mastered that turf both on offense and defense. Having a new stadium will cost them a few games.

That's what I thought the question was referring to. I thought they were talking about the playing surface, not the players.
