I hope today isn’t the last game of @OfficialBuck103 in a Twins uniform. If it is, it’s been an absolute pleasure to watch Buck play center field for the last decade. 🦌 🛻

Joe Pohlad and the Pohlad family aren’t just a disgrace to baseball, they’re a stain on the entire state of Minnesota. Their story starts in the Great Depression, not as scrappy underdogs, but as profiteers who made their fortune foreclosing on homes of desperate families who

The worst day of my ~30 year Twins fandom was when Justin Morneau was traded. That has now been replaced with today.

Truly a masterclass by the Twins — from ownership down to the field staff and even some players — on how to light fan interest on fire over 20 months.

No one exemplified toughness on Bud Grant’s Vikings more than Jim Marshall. A hall of famer in every sense and crushing to know he won’t get to see his bronze bust in Canton one day.
The #Vikings family mourns the loss of Legend Jim Marshall. Marshall set the standard for what it meant to be a Minnesota Viking, starting 270 consecutive games, appearing in 4 Super Bowls and serving as team captain for 14 consecutive seasons. https://t.co/o2avKghyWG
