Sox have nothing to be ashamed of, they are just getting beat by a better organization.

I just can't help but tip the cap to the entire Twins organization. Not just the players this year, but the front office, the minor league guys. It's like they have a never ending supply of players. I thought Danny Valencia was a no name guy to take over for Nick Punto, then Valencia goes down and Matt Tolbert comes in and bats .380 over the past 2 weeks with a bunch of triples. Who are these guys? Don't even have the time to breakdown the depth of the pitching with all the injuries.

Well said and I'll take the Twins over the NEXT 10 years.

I'll take the Sox last ten years over the Twins last ten years.

Ten years ago, everyone said this about the Oakland A's. The good times don't last forever for "model franchises".

And I will take the Twins last 25 years.

I'll take the Sox last ten years over the Twins last ten years.

Terrible comparison

Not even close

And the Twins have had success over 10 years.

How much of the current organization was around in 1991?

It's not like the Twins have to go to far back in the memory bank to remember World Championships.

There is always a team that supposedly runs things better and is "smarter" than most of the other teams. That seems to be the Twins now.

What difference does this make tho? How many of the current Sox were around 10 years ago?

Disagree.
Thats the A's youre describing.

A better comparions for the Twins would be the Cardinals
Consistent winners, great devolopment, almost Always competitive, and wins its share of World Series'

I'm taking the Cincinnati Reds over the last month.

Many of the current Sox players have been around for a really long time.

Many of the current Sox players have been around for a really long time. Kenny Williams has been here for 10 years. Ozzie has been here for 7 years. It's certainly a lot more relevant of a timeframe than 25 years where pretty much every team has seen a turnover of almost all staff besides ownership. The original quote said "better organization". My point was that for the past 10 years the Sox have been a better organization in my mind.

Sure for the past 10 years they have been probably. But it is also just as true that for the past 25 years the Twins have been. Not sure why that is hard to see. Seems like you are really stretching to make your point.

The Cardinals have a title in recent history. I was 9 when the Twins last won a title. 1991 is a long time ago.

Please read my first post in this thread. I am defending that statement.

Of course the Twins have been better over the past 25 years. I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing whether 1991 is relevant to 2010. In terms of who is the better organization it's not. If we extend it to 30 years, all of a sudden the Royals are a "better organization" and I don't see anyone thinking that.

If that makes you feel better for how insensitive you were toward the Twins in your first post then go for it.

Their hold on the Central division looks like it could rival the 14 year hold Atlanta had in the N.L. East not so long ago.
