Flyover Twins

@thetwinsguy The more I learn about history and how the world works, the more I think modern popular sports has always functioned as a way to distract and sedate us from things we really ought to be paying serious attention to.

Everyone make sure you have the most current Twins phone numbers saved to your contacts. Your place in line to get called up is closer than you think it is.

@StPaulSaints @benross1512

Congratulations to @benross1512 who smacks his first Triple-A home, a 3-run blast to right-center. That's the 17th home run in the series for us, one shy of tying the franchise record for home runs in a series

Welcome to hell you muppet reject

@MarcRyanOnAir @jasonbenetti I’ve heard SO many of his calls over the years and seen him in the booth every now and then with MLB TV and never knew he had any condition, never crossed my mind. I already respected him, now I do more.

Jason Benetti: “I was always fearful about two things. Not getting a job because of how I look…and getting a job because of how I look.” Maybe it’s just me, but @jasonbenetti’s condition never occurs to me. Ever. I’m too busy enjoying the best broadcaster I’ve ever heard.

The times were good on May 3rd, 2001. Twins had just completed taking 2 of 3 from the defending champion Yankees at home, led by Doug Mientkiewicz going 7-for-10 in the series, driving in 4 of the team’s 6 runs all series, & raising his batting avg to .407 on the season.

@TheCohencidence long-suffering sports town one day they’ll get their glory

In the last month, Boston sports fans have seen the - Pats HC have his years-long affair with a reporter exposed - Red Sox fire their manager and sit in last place in the division - Bruins lose in R1 of the playoffs - Celtics blow a 3-1 lead to the 76ers in R1 of the playoffs

@greggtmasterson when I was a kid I heard a grown-up in my family tell a joke to another that went “What do women from West Virginia and the Unabomber have in common?” and I won’t share the punchline because it is not appropriate

@greggtmasterson Jason Kubel was on one of my flights to MSP, weekend Mauer was being inducted into the Twins HOF. Flight had to divert due to weather. Now I can forever say Kubel & I got sent down to Rochester together.

@greggtmasterson 1988 bWAR after the trade: Tom Brunansky 1.5 Tom Herr 1.5

@greggtmasterson Jim Palmer comes off as the epitome of an arrogant prick whenever I hear him in the booth on an Orioles broadcast

@greggtmasterson people don’t talk enough about Matt LeCroy’s opening day HR in Seattle which Bert called before the game and Bert let out a joyous “Yeeeeehaw!” on the air as LeCroy rounded the bases

@greggtmasterson Dan Schatzeder

@greggtmasterson remember in Rookie of the Year when that front office guy was forced to transition to selling hot dogs in the nosebleed section, why didn’t he quit? Surely another team would hire him. That was one part of that movie that wasn’t very realistic.
