Just got around to reading this thread. I had seen the shirt design but hadn't stopped to think about it. I've always been a Twins fan, and it hurts to see them having such a bad year. I don't like dissing the team. I'll wear the shirt that day (I have my price, and free drinks meets my price) but after that it's going in the donate-to-charity pile.

I don't consider it dissing the team personally. We're all Twins fans, I find the T-shirt just a way to laugh at oneself. If you can't keep your sense of humour as a Twins fan these days, you probably don't have much else.

Yeah, we're not dissing the team.

 

I mean, think about it for a moment. This is a 100 loss team when most of us expected some kind of pretender status with exciting young players. Despite all that, we're gathering 100+ people to get together and watch what has turned into a largely unwatchable team.

 

If we can't roll our eyes a bit and laugh it off, why are we even fans?

 

Apathy is a lot worse than tongue-in-cheek pokes at our own fandom.

The point is well taken but I still won't wear the shirt after the 24th. And don't take my point as being real important. The shirt has no impact one way or the other about whether I'll go or how much I enjoy the event.
