What do the Cleveland Guardians want to be?
To hear Larry Dolan tell it, the Cleveland Guardians are the poster child for the unfairness in MLB. They can’t run with the big boys of the American League, even though there are no big market teams in the AL Central, at least when the Tigers suck eggs (and the White Sox will never act like they pl...
Let’s ban Minnesota sports teams from the playoffs
As you get older, all you really ask of sports is to keep you entertained and to provide something interesting to talk about from time to time. You want good teams playing a lively style, and you want them playing another team with perhaps a good story and some verve to them. At the very least, you ...
Everything we know about the Carlos Correa situation
Just one month ago, two-time All-Star Carlos Correa was a San Francisco Giant. After a few medical examinations from Giants’ staff, the team couldn’t bring themselves to give Correa the 13-year, $350 million contract they’d agreed upon. Instantly, Correa was snatched up by the New York Mets, who off...
SHOCKER! Twins announcer Jim Kaat makes another stupid comment
Baseball can’t go a week without someone saying something incredibly stupid....
Please stay healthy, Byron Buxton
It’s become part of the rhythm of a baseball season. Mike Trout will tweak something, or leave a game early, and every baseball fan will sigh, and wonder why they can’t have nice things. We all feel deprived of something when Trout misses a large chunk of time. This will also happen whenever Shohei ...
Why didn’t Yankees and Twins play 2 yesterday with Henri barreling down?
The Yankees and Twins will not play on Sunday, which was pretty clearly going to be the case since Friday morning, when the National Weather Service issued its first hurricane watch for the New York area in 10 years....
Why are the Twins such a bad team in non-9-inning games? Like, 0-11 bad
The Minnesota Twins probably weren’t expecting to be where they currently sit heading into this season. Minnesota reached the playoffs in three of the last four seasons, and were looking to return once again in 2021 in the hopes of actually winning a playoff series for the first time since 2003. So ...
Mellon Collie and The Minnesota Twins: At this rate a playoff collapse looks unlikely
It’s probably hard enough to be the Minnesota Twins under normal circumstances. Because no one outside of the Twin Cities wants to see you in the playoffs ever again. Some have even drafted measures to get you banned from the postseason forever. That’s what happens when you can’t manage to win a sin...
If you haven’t been watching Byron Buxton, you need to change that
Byron Buxton has always threatened to be a Diet Trout, at least in the rare few minutes per season he’s been completely healthy. He might be the game’s best center fielder, and has flashed stardom at the plate. But something always went TWANG! on his body, and he hasn’t been able to put it together....
Sports world hails guilty verdict for Derek Chauvin
The sports world took to twitter before and after the Derek Chauvin verdict was announced Tuesday. Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of the murder of George Floyd, was found guilty on all counts, which included second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree mansla...
It’s time to ban the A’s and Twins from MLB playoffs
Major League Baseball began it’s playoff key party yesterday, with all the American League wild-card series kicking off. And while this season has been weird/a farce/an abomination to the sport and really all logic (if you lean that way), there was something exciting about having a day full of baseb...
