Tom Powers Enrages Batgirl

PiPress columnist Tom Powers Minnesotans for not being good baseball fans.

We should stop kidding ourselves. Minneapolis and St. Paul should have a Class AAA team instead of the Twins. This is not major league territory.

Forget about building a new ballpark. The trendiness eventually will wear off. Then it won't matter if the team wins three pennants in a row because few will give a hoot. Just like they don't care now.

My guess is that the Twins franchise one day will wind up in Portland, Ore., where the veteran players will tell stories about gloomy days and sparse crowds in Minnesota. And such a move will be good for baseball, solidifying one more financially shaky team.

The whole article is worth a read for its fan-bashing and blindness. One thing everyone must know; Batgirl will never ever ever forgive Carl Pohlad for trying to contract her Twins. Something we just cannot get past. I know it was you, Carl. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!
