How John McCain Will Screw The Twins

Simple point, really... with the GOP convention going to Minnesota, the Twins get to play 13 straight road games against the Angels, Seattle, Oakland and Blue Jays, all because the Republicans will be taking up the stadium.
So Barack Obama, a White Sox fan, gets to help his team, since the ChiSox are 4.5 games back as I write this. Minny is also five games under .500 on the road, though one suspects that if they can't do better than that against the dregs of the AL West, they really aren't a division winner on talent, anyway. (Personally, now that they've finally gotten rid of Veteran Bad Presence Livan Hernandez, I think they'll be fine.) And as a final bonus, rabid Twins Fan (there are some, right? I see y'all waving Homer Hankies from time to time) can now really hate both presidential candidates for either imperiling their team, or rooting for their rival. Yay, us!
