Put me down as one who is grieving the loss of the Twins and didn't really want to talk about it. I don't think the Twins stood a chance as long as Selig is commissioner and stands to profit from contraction. Whoever thought up that strategy was diabolical -- all the owners stand to benefit and two cities and their fans get screwed. IMHO it would have been much more fair for baseball to fix its economics FIRST and then see if the Twins could make it. But, as we all know, life isn't fair.
I'm hoping against hope that the efforts being made by the group trying to put together the buyout effort will succeed in keeping the Twins here. To you naysayers: Whether you think they and/or the sport, its owners, agenda and etc. are elitist, or not, the Twins contribute several millions to the city and locality's economy, hundreds of jobs, philanthropy and a sense of civic/community pride. And that ain't all bad.
