I personally went with, Twins chances (I give them 20% chance to win the central and a 3-5% to win it all)

This Teo thing is all kinds of ****ed up. And I don't believe for a second that he was the "victim" of a hoax. He and his closest family and friends were the perpetrator. The cat's out of the bag (which they probably never counted on post-"death"), and it ain't going back in.

More facts will come out. But I believe he was the victim of a hoax. Probably some financial scam in which he probably paid out lots of money to a fictional girlfriend. If this is true he is a sucker and an idiot, but not a bad guy by any means.

Um no its pretty obvious that he was in on it for at least a good amount of time, read the deadspin article and quotes from him in the past (where he said she had visited him in Hawaii)

 

The dude deserves a special place in hell for conning everyone. Disgusting human.

If there were a hell, I don't know that faking a human interest story would rate that highly.

Ha yeah, that is true, I apologize for my hyperbole, it's pretty ****ed up to scam on the emotions of millions of people though. Either way this story should keep getting more and more bizarre.

Must be practicing to be a general manager or team owner...

[Mike Sixel]

Well, since we know she is not real, the Twins' chances are higher....around 5 percent of winning the division....and, wow, what a bizarre story.

[GCTF]

Clear victory for the Rally Monkey. At least we know that exists.

Shouldn't the poll be, What is more dead, Te'o's fake girlfriend or the 2013 Twins playoff hopes?

 

I tried to go the fake dead girlfriend route once, but when you're married people just assume you killed her and call the cops on you.
