according to the common man (kfan)
the twins have been whining they can’t be competitive without a new stadium.
in the mean time, they’ve gone to the play offs at least twice and the alcs once, i believe.
and now they finally got approval/money to build a new stadium.
so, after they get the stadium, they’re going to be too good.
they’re going to have to play with 8 players instead of 9.
and joe mauer (rookie) was soo good he counts, for 2, so:
the twins, in order to not be too good (overly competitive), will have to play with 7 players on the field.
it’s kinda funny, but it’s also pretty real. they have been whining that they can’t be competitive unless they get a new stadium, and in the mean time, they’ve gone to the playoffs at least twice. after they got the new stadium, i think it would be great if mlb made the twins play with 8 players at home in their new, “competitive” stadium. it’s not “competitive,” it’s more money for the owners, because they’ve said that they’d only spend about half the money on players. the rest goes in the owner’s pocketbook.
i know it’s just sports, so it’s not a huge deal.
