    The Metrodome Lives
    "That's the Metrodome. You think you've killed it, but no, it will not die. It will keep coming back, again and again, shoving itself into the limelight like a frustrated chorus girl. The last game in the Metrodome was supposed to be Sunday. The touching eulogies were written — yes, even the villains get touching eulogies. But the old barn had one more glorious day — deafening noise, twirling hankies, a big home victory. Now, today, we get a one-game playoff — Twins vs. Tigers — and once again it could be the last day of baggie baseball. But don't bet on it. The creepy music plays. The phone lines have been disconnected. The Metrodome is looking like it might stick around for a while."

    I liked what Kent Hrbek said after Sunday's game during what was supposed to be the closing ceremony: "You guys went and screwed up my whole speech."

        Why not Arch? The Astrodome closed with an Astros loss (fcukin' Braves! ).

            Metrodome will be live on as the Vikings have a lease there until 2011 and who knows with the bad economy if they will ever get a new stadium (of course when the economy was good the Vikings didn't get a stadium deal anyways).
