I don't think I could utter the words

Go White Sox, unless held at gunpoint, but if it keeps the Royals out of last all is well. It doesn’t matter Twins/Sox are both going to be ousted in the first round anyway.

Positive thinking

It’s all in how you look at it.

Leadoff walk, eh

It feels so wrong to want them to win.

I hates them.

I'm sure the Twins love that Detriot decided

to throw out Freddie Garcia

So why is everyone rooting for the White Sox?

I know that the Twins are over-praised for playing the game the right way, but don’t we feel a kinship with them (horrible owner, relatively small payroll, small players in free agency, etc.)?

And the White Sox are responsible for (a) He gone, (b) the Ligues, © Ozzie.

Go Tigers and Go Twins.

It's an obscure desire

to have actually beaten a team in our own division. Pride, honor, whatever. I want it.

Detroit up,

Detroit down.

The rain delay worked greatly in my favor:

My internet was down all afternoon, so I thought I’d have to miss this game entirely.

It came back just a bit ago, so I don’t have to miss much. Go White Sox, but ONLY today.

This really is a brutal decision...

I think it’s clear that we need to be pulling for the Sox today, and Twins tomorrow. Obviously we want to stay out of last place, but as nauseating as the “right way” boys are, in an ideal world A.J. Pierzynski never sees a postseason game again.

Seriously, A.J., kill yourself.

Perfectly stated. I agree completely.

I can't root for the White Sox

I’ll take a tie for 4th place. The Sox must go down. I wouldn’t mind them winning today and losing tomorrow, but I don’t want to have to rely on the Twins.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
