From BadAndy48:
GOOD NEWS FOR THOSE WITH CABLE:
Who: Bitch Sox @ Twins, Garcia vs. Johan
What: Classic Twins 1-0 victory on a Jacques Jones homer in the 8th
When: tonight (Monday), 8:00pm CST
Where: Fox Sports Net North
Why: Because they like to tease us
Some thoughts:
- I was at that game and will remember it for a long, long time. I'll bore
my son talking about it when I take him to a game some day.
- I know we had to let him go and that we was a very undisciplined hitter,
but I'm really going to miss Jacque!
- I love that they're broadcasting this game again, but it seems almost
cruel to supply such a tastey appetizer of the season when it's still so far
away . . .
Get to see johan pitch yes.

Posted by: SDTwinsFan at February 6, 2006 06:40 PMAaaaah, I turned on the TV to watch the game and because I'm in Wisconsin, there was some stupid HS basketball game on. Don't I deserve baseball too?
Posted by: Stuck@UW at February 6, 2006 07:21 PMOK, anyone else watching the Twins Diamond awards? The Jackal is giving his acceptance speech for Most Improved Twin.... Can't understand a word, but damn is he just a sweetheart.
Posted by: Chris at February 6, 2006 07:42 PMOoooo, I just downloaded that game from the mlb website to watch later on this week.
I still remember jumping out of my chair when Jacque yanked that homer out of the park...
Posted by: Eric at February 6, 2006 07:59 PMyeah, i was at the game too, but i can't watch it because the guys in my lounge are instead watching 24. i wish i could be watching that game!!!
Posted by: Hannah! at February 6, 2006 08:13 PMeep! baseball!
Posted by: aurora at February 6, 2006 08:34 PM64 DAYS TILL HOME OPENER!!!!!!!!(if my math is correct)
Posted by: Mel at February 6, 2006 08:56 PMI was flipping through the channels and stunned to find a baseball game on!
Your math is right, Mel.

That game was so amazing to watch--a pitchers' duel that I'll bore kids talking about for ages.
Posted by: JustBeth at February 7, 2006 08:21 AMTwins win! Twins win!
Posted by: Say Rah! at February 7, 2006 08:37 AMOh yes, the battle of the Venezuelan stud pitchers--saved it on DVR from last summer--outstanding game--Jones homer wins it every time I play it.
Posted by: DAM-DC Twins Fan at February 7, 2006 09:40 AMThe one day I miss checking BatGirl and I miss THIS.
Rats. I could've gotten the VCR going for it.
Any news on if it's getting played...again?
Posted by: Torhu at February 7, 2006 09:48 AMI would just like to reiterate the fact that I am going to miss Jaqcue and that little filp of his bat that he does so well. *sigh*
Posted by: BM Mundo at February 7, 2006 10:15 AMI caught a little bit of the game. I don't think Dick Bremer will ever be the same.
But oh, those ass-bats...
Posted by: jianfu at February 7, 2006 10:21 AMDon't check BatGirl for one day and I miss this! I could've DVR'd it!
Posted by: Saajak at February 7, 2006 10:30 AMAs a BSox blogger noted after this game, "It would have been an ESPN Instant Classic, had the Yankees or Red Sox been involved."
Posted by: mjm at February 7, 2006 10:51 AMAgreed mjm. However, regardless of what the national crowd may think...this game will hold a special place in the hearts of both teams for a LONG time.
Perhaps moreso in Twins' fans ;)
Posted by: Torhu at February 7, 2006 11:49 AMIt's also fun to go back and read BG's post on this again.
Win the battle, lose the war.
