Lot of people saying the Twins' new M hat is too much like the Marlins' but I'm just not seeing it.

@greggtmasterson PA announcer Bob Casey was even schoolmarm-ier. He said something like, “This is an important game. Cut it out!”

@timklobuchar nerd!

Where were you when Tom Kelly walked out to left field to wag his finger at drunk college students like a nagging schoolmarm?

@RandBall Jaden McDaniels’s seething hatred for the Denver Nuggets is nothing short of inspirational

Just a few things happened in this Wolves game. I'll try to make sense of it all in an immediate postgame podcast/livestream. Your thoughts?

@Foxwriter7 Same. Which then makes good class discussions close to impossible.

As a high school film teacher…the struggle is real. It helps that class periods are less than an hour, but even that is a challenge. Students are frequently caught watching different content on their owns screens while I am screening a film.

Every once in a while my following of Minnesota sports and @fuckeveryword synchronizes perfectly

@BMcCarthy32 Not to mention none of those other losers can even pitch.

there are other 1st ballot hall of famers in this lineup and it's boring when they come to bat

@RandBall Do you think my message in our group chat was the turning point?

Unreal Vikings comeback. Huge moxie and plays from McCarthy. Gonna go live here with a postgame pod in 5 minutes. Your questions/thoughts!?

@DanaWessel “I was told not to be a stranger.”

Just came across an old yearbook. Should I call all the phone numbers people wrote in it and finally make good on those "Stay in touch" promises?

@RandBall @MillerStrib The return seems fine but who cares, really? It’s depressing that they’re trading him at all.

Talking to @MillerStrib about this shortly for tomorrow's podcast. My impression: Twins didn't get enough for Duran. your thoughts?

@thetwinsguy After careful consideration, I’ve determined the Twins lost the Ryan Pressley trade.

I think the Alcala era might need to come to a close. #MNTwins

@RandBall After the Phil Cuzzi call, MLB made a rule that I shall never know true happiness again.

This reminds me of when the NFL changed overtime rules after the Vikings lost the 2009 NFC title game. Can anyone think of other examples where a MN team was screwed, leading to a rule change?

@GrantMN3 Would it even be a hot take at this point to think he could be traded? This collapse might prompt Falvey to take some pretty big swings.

not exactly an inspiring quote from the supposed future of the franchise

I, for one, salute Glen Taylor for right-sizing the Wolves payroll the same night the Twins complete their collapse. The synchronicity has won me over — winning is overrated.

@marymcintyre Love how these VA school boards have convinced themselves they’ll find the magic alternative to collective bargaining that no one else has thought of in the last 50 years.

Williamsburg-James City County probably doesn’t even realize that by voting NO, they have now fueled the union to work even harder, and they’ve also shot themselves in the foot to compete as an employer in a changing Virginia education landscape.

Not sure what Twins fans are so upset about. The most likely way this goes is they catch KC for the 5 seed, beat a slumping Orioles team in the wild card series, and then break the Yankees playoff curse in the ALDS. They’ll lose in the ALCS, though — I’m not unrealistic.

Just now realized that the only team we’re going to finish ahead of in the division is the literal worst team of all time.

@labuzamovies Very true. If they blow this, the vibes around this team are going to sink to late 2nd Terry Ryan regime levels, even though there’s still a lot of talent here.

I have no idea how what’s left of this Twins bullpen is going to outduel Cleveland’s.
