Yeah, I chuckled a bit after realizing it didn't say what I initially thought. For the record, I also chuckle when they give away weiners. They used to give away "a year's supply of sausages". I would always duck for fear they would zoom in and declare me as the "winner". It wouldn't have been so b...

I like a team that runs its offense so as not to give the other team a chance at a score. I'm good with the Diggs hook up. Cousins has thrown that ball several times this year and didn't put enough air under it. That pass was perfect...didn't need to score, just needed a first down and good field po...

The theme in the early going seems to be "Lightning Does Strike Twice" with the third game in a row where our boys bury a pair in quick succession. We definitely are still figuring things out. What troubled me the most were those shots on the empty net that missed and resulted in icing calls. I did...

Sitting at the game you could see that there was zero chemistry on any lines. It was like they never skated together. Walker tried to do everything on his own tonight, and finally it worked in OT. Nelson had a couple of good hits. Burke still seems a bit off since his injury last year. A win is a w...

I saw about 3 minutes of the game, including Fiala's half a$$ attempt to swat a puck from behind the net while Staal was skating in a big circle inside the blue line. Staal apparently was the only one surprised by the result. I'd like to know what Koivu said to the team. None of the veterans are pla...

Not sure about the former, but yes on the latter.

Pretty sure it's him.

The problem with a team that can't win is that it blows a massive hole in my t.v. hockey viewing over a long and cruel winter. If they have zero chance at a playoff berth, I won't even check the schedule. Cue the "you're not a true fan" accusations.

Can’t wait for John to do karaoke on the Zam this year.

That's the President of Fallon, yes?

I think he's the one who had been doing the hockey hair videos (it was his last year this past tournament).

You guys wanted the rebuild... maybe this is the rebuild without having to tear it down. It's a rebuild if the young guys pan out. If they don't, oh boy, this could be a long stretch of bad hockey. I have my doubts about the quality of the young players. It's obvious by now that the Wild will win n...

The refs are deciding games as much as other factors, like injuries or dropped passes in the end zone. Tonight, it would not be a stretch to say they decided the game for the Packers. The Lions did not pressure Erin in the second half, but, notably, there weren't any calls against the Packers' offen...

Yet another obvious Pass interference on GB there... This is being set up for a win for the home squad. It was obvious...so obvious in fact that I'm wondering why they didn't have a look at it. I get that NFL reffing is a tough job, but two huge plays go against the Lions on the Packers' home field...

And there's the problem with the refs get involved in the game. For chrissake it's a joke.

NFL is a f*** joke with packer reffing

That call against Flowers is a travesty. Refs already throwing too many flags and now give Packers an unfair advantage.

That was a pleasant surprise coming back from 1-3 on the road. It looked like a good crowd, too. Young teams usually flop in that situation.

Felt like this was the game they should have won. CC might be better tomorrow. Too many penalties and no clean up shots around the net. There were several times the puck was lying loose and there was nobody there to collect the goal. Reedy with a pretty bad mistake late in the game, committing an in...

Fitting I suppose they get snuffed out home....dominated and swept aside....like a fly hitting the windshield

Yankees all series have been loose, aggressive and confident. Lots of laughs and high fives in the dugout. It has not even occurred to them that they could lose this series.

Very disappointing Berrios couldn't take the next step. We'll see what Odorizzi can do tonight. If Pineda had just gone with a keto type diet I think the Twins would have been a better playoff team. Nothing Buxton brings to the table would have changed anything...Twins lack of pitching and Berrios' ...

It's quite possible that these young guys like Ek, Fiala, Greenway and Kunin may never turn into above average NHL scorers. That would hurt.

That was two heaping helpings of humble pie for the Bomba squad this weekend. (That's a lot of illiteration for anxious anchors placed in powerful posts!)

Is that 15 straight post season losses to the Yankees? Guess Rocco now part of an exclusive club!

A lotta game left, chip away, let them get complacent and have a swing at it in the end Um, its 0-8 on the road. Even if they chip away and score a couple they need to hold the yankees to 0 runs...the Twins pitchers have been in trouble almost every single inning...what kind of miracle are you hopi...

Dear Rocco, this what we were worried about when we asked about the history of Twins vs Yankees. #yankeebitches2019

We all knew the pitching might not be up to snuff, and the series is already starting that way. Not a good outing out from the staff "ace," and the bullpen has a Chernobyl inning where they load the bases without a hit. Then you have Rosario, Garver and Cron just look lost at the plate. They aren't ...

The series will hinge on game 1. Berrios needs to take that next step right now. We need high tight fastballs and filthy curves.

The student section clearly needs someone directing cheers like at the MN United games. What's gold pants guy up to? jk jk bad memories At least he was an enthusiastic fan that wasn't staring at his phone. Phone staring has become an epidemic, and it's sickening to watch.

Burrito was talking about a rumor he heard Digg’s being traded to Pat’s

Diggs not exactly lighting it up this year....probably not all on him, but he's been most noticeable when he drops the ball.

What a great ending last night for an unbiased fan in Washington. Brewers had them by the throat and then a mix of controversial hit batsman, a sawed off bat blooper, a rookie coming through in the clutch, and a squib pool shot that eludes the right fielder....all added up to the undoing of Milwauke...

Vikings outclassed in every category including coaching. For Vikings fans this game was just boring..add in the self defeating penalties and the game was almost unwatchable for me

It's garbage time when one playoff team rests its roster while the other plays call ups. But the Twins' back of the bus had a lot of fun out there today...zero pressure and free swinging.

Weakest celebration ever.

They have no practice.

Okay who had Dobnak throwing the division clinching game?

Strange year indeed. Nearing the end of the season, and it's clear Gibson is not a rotation pitcher that can be counted on. I doubt his ability out of the bullpen. Dobnak has taken Gibson's spot. Duffey might be the most surprising guy on the staff this season. Dyson, the guy the Twins needed at the...

I've totally come around on Cave. I was frustrated last season and when he first came up this year, but he's grown on me. He's come up with some big hits and plays his position pretty well...no Byron Buxton, but who is? Last night was the hockey equivalent of the fourth line getting all the goals. G...

So the fish,Jets,Skins,Broncos,Steelers,Bengals,Cards all winless this season

NFL fan numbers are down this season. It's going to be a tough year for those venues, given that many teams are as bad as their record and have a near zero chance for post season.

Eddie Rosario has got to be one of the dumbest players in the league. I can't believe I'm typing this but Reusse is right. Fans need to stop chanting his name when he's hitting because he tries to hit 600 foot homers and makes stupid base running mistakes. Getting thrown out at third last night is ...

If they knew you were coming, they’d been out there. I figured they were injured or recovering but didn't hear the broadcast. Suddenly the Twins finding they need to keep the pedal down as they enter the last handful of games. Disappointing they got three hits against a platooning bullpen in a game...

Saw the Twins lose against the Sox and the Giolito gem of Aug. 21. Saw a three-hit loss tonight. Only two games I made this season. Woof.

Why no Gonzalez tonight? Still no Kepler?

The vikings were only in that position because the defense $h!t the bed and rolled around in it during the 1st quarter and yet we only hear bitching about the QB. Really? Give up 21 on the road to Rodgers, not to shabby. I would agree with you if they had the same 1st quarter and then got a lot bet...

Suddenly Berrios is pitching, not just throwing...couple nice outings in a row.

The Diggs penalty is being blown out of proportion. Thirty teams in the league have kickers who make that kick. Even with the missed kick the lead at that point was 5 points (it would have been four with the PAT) so it would have taken a TD to win either way. The effect the missed PAT had on the ga...

https://mobile.twitter.com/PitchingNinja/status/1173051129455923200/video/1 Maybe we can have nice things...my goodness I don't think that was even a sinker...more like a fastball that sinks. My hunch is a fastball with a slight grip variation or even something unique to the ball...scuff, seams etc.

Diggs is the kind of person who could stare at himself in the mirror for hours. He should be fined big time for that selfish, immature garbage. Despite their terrible start, Vikings hold tinker bell to 11 straight scoreless possessions. In the critical fourth quarter, however, Vikings' two consecuti...

Another garbage outing by Gibson, another injury and another blow out loss at Target field against a good team. Oof. Not exactly playoff ready as the wheels are coming off at the exact wrong time...Kepler, Cron, Sano, Cave, Gonzalaz, Adrianza all out along with Diet Pill Mike and Buxton out for the ...

Personally, I don't mind when announcers use their pet phraseology, so long as I like it . I liked Doug's and never tired of the metallurgy save or the advertising or fire wagon hockey. It added a little dramatic license. On the other hand, I cringed every time the Vikings got a first down, and I ha...

This is pretty neat too

The announcer waited almost as long to call that home run as CNN did to concede Trump for President.

I was always taught that you do not get thrown out on taking an extra base for the last out. Two outs and desperately in need for a tying run, absolutely send him there. That was a perfect play off the wall and a perfect throw from fairly deep in the field. It took both to get the out. Did Boston i...

Another nice road run capped off by 2 of 3against a playoff hungry Redsox. Do the Twins let down in the key series at home against the Indians? They could pretty much bury them this weekend.

Cron was cutting off on that throw to the plate and had his hand up in celebration before the ball even got to Castro. :D Two hits, lots of guys left on base, double plays...had the look of a loss all night, but pitchers battled. This was as close to a playoff type game as they have had...not a lot ...

If Cron can't run he shouldn't be playing. If he's not hurt he should be benched. Good grief the jogging down to first is annoying....he's been a bit of a rally killer lately.

Twins have been getting the situational hits, but not tonight. Left way too many guys on base early.

Berrios wasn't sharp early. I have pretty much no confidence in him as a post-season shut down pitcher. His fastball velocity is down and that clunker slider of his comes out at the worst times.

Berrios needs to get his game to the next level.

Never change Gardy. Never ever ever. Bases loaded 2 outs. Kepler coming up. Gardy goes "DERP THIS GUY BATS LEFT HANDED SO I GOTTA GO GET MY LEFTY PITCHER FOR THAT LEFTY-LEFTY MATCHUP! DERP!" Kepler is hitting .294 against LHP and .240 against RHP Kepler hits a missile to left to score 2 runs and gi...

Berrios with a sloppy 6 innings pitched...made it through six but with 4 wild pitches...oof. Hope he figures it out soon.

Cave had the look of a minor leaguer during his first couple call ups, but he's ratcheted it up a couple notches....which is good since Buxton is so fragile.

Schoop's heating up. Can't complain.

Another quality start, too. First time in 11 games Odor makes it through 6.

Nice W last night. Pineda has been really good the last couple months. Dyson-Duffey-Romo-Rogers allow 2 hits in the last 4 innings and strike out 5 to finish the game. Don't know if the stats agree, but Pineda has been the rock of the staff. After three unimpressive outings by all stars Odor, Gibso...

All this talk of who will be missed I think decentralizes the main point that all of those players who leave are replaced by incoming freshmen, not equally experienced players. That's the nature of college hockey, but the question for this team will be, despite their youth, can they collect enough q...

Twins win, Royals beat the Indians. Twins pick up another game in the standings despite only going 3-3 on the home stand. Perhaps even more important, Perez was very good today and Stashak and Thorpe finished the game off to let May, Dyson, Romo, and Rogers all have two days off before the road tri...

Journeyman pitcher didn't figure to last...but he had a nice game going.

"Gibby" now 6 straight innings with runners on base....he's not fooling anyone. Dyson gives one up and infield with another blown opportunity for an out....what the???

Twins now with a little small ball luck in the 5th....

On the plus side, "Caveman" seems to be on the rise.

I remember when someone suggested not to panic because the Twins will have the easy Cleveland schedule coming up... Also, the infield defense is little league like. It's like watching the Gophers lose to St Lawrence I thought of the St. Lawrence analogy, too. Gophers seem to let down for teams ever...

Oh boy. On top of an earlier error by Arraez, Twins just blew a run down that most high school teams know how to execute. Seventy-four pitches through 4 and score now 1-4 against an "inferior team." :oops: 8 hits now by Tigers against shut down Gibby...while the Twins struggle against a guy who has ...

Berrios is taking his lumps now, but he is our best starter and am confident he’ll get it together going forward. He’s an ace, hopefully this season he proves it. He's an "Ace" for the Twins... kind of like how Brad Radke was an "Ace". He'd be a 3rd starter for most of the other contending teams. B...

Instead of battling his way through a tough spot, he succumbed to the gravity of the moment - and sealed the loss for a team that now is 1-3 against teams the experts thought they would feast on.

Polanco's error looms large, as well as yet another bullpen meltdown

Not only bullpen, but Gibson handed the ball off early. Seems like they have a bunch of 3 or four inning arms.

No bail out this time...made it close in the 9th thanks to a pitcher who couldn't find the plate, but, alas, no hit was forthcoming.
