elrockinMT Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) Who scripts these characters anyway? I think it was Rod Allen on Fox yesterday for the Twinkies-Tigers game who made some goofy comment towards the end of the broadcast when talking about the AL Central "The Twins are playing the best baseball in the division and everyone should watch out for the Twins" or something very similar to that. Where has this guy been? I certainly believe the best ball in maybe both leagues is being played by the Chiago White Sox!

chw42 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Most broadcasters don't. Just look at Tim McCarver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to correct you here but he actually said they were playing the best AGAINST their AL Central opponents, and was saying the Tigers & White Sox need to improve their play within the division if they are going to win it. But yes, generally I agree these morons say some pretty stupid things sometimes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought the same thing that he was saying the Twins are playing the best, but I started paying attention and he was talking about just against the AL Central.

Soxguy Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Or on FoxSports how they have the twins ranked above us. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/powerRankings and it's pretty updated (Minus some of our wins) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
