Baseball teams either win or lose games. Elections are what's stolen in this country.

so if the decks are stacked against the twins and they win, it's a stolen game, no? i would have wrote that the yankees stole a game in minneapolis too. and you can ask people that know me, i'm the last person to defend the yankees. ever.

that's ridiculous. If the Yankees win in Minneapolis, no one here will say they "stole" it. And the Yankees' play last night was horrible (5 double plays!), so that makes the NY-media's ridiculous expectations even that much more sickening. I hope the "dynasty" truly fades, Yankees fans need another decade of mediocrity like the 1980s so they can lose the pompous attitude.

well, coming into a hostile stadium and winning and taking home field away from the yankees...sounds like something stolen. i didn't mean to imply that there was dirty or unfair play. i think it's normal to refer to something like this as stolen.

what's this "stole the game" crap? The Twins won, fair and square, that's how the game works. If the Yankees won, I doubt there'd be many Twins fans crying about how the game was "stolen."
