Yes, Oakland is considered small market....I don't think that cost of housing has anything to do with it.
About 90% of the Twins team has come up through their farm system. Same with their championship teams of -87 and -91.
Actually, the Twins have had a winning team for most of this decade. You're obviously very sensitive to this topic. Sorry, I just don't agree with you. You can't expect every MLB team to compete $ to $ with the Yankees.

Ok, how about donkey shows. You can throw all the money at those you want, but at the end of the day its still a donk-show.
That made very little sense didnt it? now you know how it feels.

Just keep in mind Eric the Red is a dyed to the wool Yank, and sounds like he grew up in that area. Ive been reading this board for about a year now and he seems like a fun dude overall, so dont take his rantings personally b/c you are making some good points. The storm troopers were equally as brainwashed by Vader, so remember the weak ones have little or no control over their thoughts. :funnyhahah

I'm not pissed at any of you, it just gets annoying. I grew up 20 minutes from the Bronx and have been to dozens of Yankee games, most of them before thie huge playoff run. I sat through so many years of 5th and 6th place finishes.
Don Mattingly is still my favorite player. Screw it:restore

Totally understand that you're a die-hard Yanks fan. I grew up in Minnesota and watched games with Carew, Killebrew, Oliva, Tovar, Puckett, and others. Loved Twins ball (especially in the old Met...outside on grass...where baseball should be played). I, like you, even stood behind them when they were cellar dwellers. Good luck to your Yanks. Hope the Twins and Yanks play in the post season. Of course, I'll be routing for the Twins. :cheers

As much as I hate the Yankees, I have to acknowledge that Jeter is one of the best clutch players of all time. I love seeing him leave everything out on the field. He is a great player, and may be one of the best I will ever see. Still though, GO SOX!

In Arlington, it's too damn hot to win or lose. I liked A-rod when he was here, the situation was sour when he left. I'm actually glad he's in NY and might be one of a few that actually pull for him to play great.
I wish we (Rangers) kept Soriano - he was great in Arlington. I like the Twins, but the Yankees have always been my second favorite team (Rangers - we dont do playoffs). :cheers

Hey Eric, population wise, Oakland is not that large of a city. I just have trouble accepting that it is a small market when it is the 12th largest metro area in the states. According to Wickipedia, they have 4.1 million people.

You know what would suck? If the Sox had to play the Yanks in a 5 game series and got swept.
