Had a physical last week. Weighed 290. Blood pressure on high end of normal. Started working out again.
You: Kiss my fat ass.
Everyone else: Root for me to stick to a plan this time.
@LaVelleNeal
LaVelle, I like how your 400 pound ass talks shit but you never seem to try to save face on your jackass tweets??? ... Yes, I saw you at Twinsfest, you're pushing 400lbs...
Rich Hill just called out
@mlb
for not allowing families of support staff (equipment managers, PR, etc) to travel for the postseason while players’ families can.
Some things I never thought I’d see: The Twins lead the majors in batting average, slugging percentage and OPS. Buxton leads in doubles. Rosario and Polanco in top five in WAR.

7, White Sox 0. Series sweep. 11 wins in their last 12 games. Rosario and Kepler with three-run homers,
The Twins are 20 games over .500
The Twins 10 games up in the AL Central,
It's not quite Memorial Day
Two consecutive sellout crowds.
The Mauer ceremony was superbly orchestrated. Having the players/managers with retired numbers walk in from left field was a classy touch. And blending Mauer in catching gear last year with scenes from his career was a professional move. Well done.
I usually come up with some goofball slogan for the new year. Here's my attempt:
We survived 2021
We will thrive in 2022.
Seriously, regardless of background, lineage or political bent. You are all my brothers and sisters. I wish a Happy New Year to all of you.
Attendance: 39,913
Walk ups: 2,593 - last ticket sold in the second inning.
Largest crowd since Opening Day 2016
First back-to-back 30K crowds since 2015 when Cubs were in town.
This is because of baseball decisions that ended up being wrong. Royals signed Seth Lugo. Why not the Twins? Royals traded for bullpen help at the deadline. Why not the Twins?
@LaVelleNeal
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$......thus the dilemma with depth the twins find themselves in......with a world series contender......they still.....nevermind!$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$....
Look at it this way, Vikings fans. Your squad could defeat New Orleans next week ( if they win tomorrow) then the Falcons in the NFC title game. And get your revenge for 1998 and 2009.
Today is our last day as Fox Sports North... tomorrow we officially become Bally Sports North! Excited for the new chapter that starts just in time for Twins Opening Day!!
Unacceptable weekend by the Twins. Don't deserve to win a crappy division with that performance. And the FO is mistaken if it thinks the solution to the offense is in-house.
You folks are really overreacting if you believe that Molitor, the reigning AL Manager of the Year who signed a contract extension during the offseason, is on the hot seat
To those attending tonight's game: There will be Yankee fans in the stands cheering. So here's an idea. Instead of responding with boos, act like you've got game and just simply out-cheer them.
GAME:
#MNTwins
8, Yankees 6. There was a triple play and a total of eight home runs. But rookie LHP Lewis Thorpe slowed down the Yankees late. The bullpen got the last 15 outs, people..
It’s not BLM, they are opportunity criminals. But go ahead and keep dumping certain people under one label because that’s been the way for a couple of centuries, why don’t ya...
I’m starting to wonder about temperature checks at some of these ballparks.
Had mine taken today. 92.5. Told them I should be dead. Asked for a retake: 92.7
I know I’m a cool cat but I’m not THAT cool.....
So I point out that injuries have hampered the Twins this season, and I get bashed.
Today I pointed out what the starting pitching options could be next year and I get bashed because you expect them all to be injured.
You people are toxic.
You folks wanting to trade Polanco forget he was an All-Star in 2019 and has played with a bad ankle for a year and a half. He should be healthy in 2021.
Yes, the Twins are CONSIDERING the POSSIBILITY of pushing Opening Day back to Friday because of projected cold and wet conditions on Thursday. NOTHING IS OFFICIAL yet, but I would prepare contingency plans if I were you.
P.J.Fleck signs a new seven-year contract. Good for him, but this is bad look after the school eliminated multiple sports just over a year ago to save money.
Saw Nick this morning at a coffee shop near downtown Fort Myers. He asked about Rocco. To learn he passed away a few hours later is making my heart sink. One of the best people among the scribes.
Just landed in Chicago. Headed to Soldier Field to be the back up right tackle for the Bears tonight. Ryan Pace called me and said, "our scouts tell me you're a great pocket protector."
Following home runs by Buxton and Rosario, the Twins have hit 125 home runs, tying a club record for most home runs before the All-Star break.
This All-Star break isn't for another 29 days....
I'm happy to report that today's procedure went smoothy. My heart is back on a normal rhythm. The next steps will be to keep it that way.
Also: My cardiologiat is from Chicago and is a Bears fan. 😆
I'm not surprised Rocco is going nuts. The Twins have been denied runs under similar circumstances and Rocco has said it's impossible to overturn those plays.
Musselman. We didn't need him. He would have crawled to Minnesota to take the job, and then he would have been taking off a maroon and gold shirt there.
Hey
@LaVelleNeal
, given their lack of big moves and their tradition of going cheap do you see the Twins making several waiver trades in the next couple of weeks?
I just wrote for you because you responded.
Your comment adds nothing to the discussion. And you complain about players who are peaceful a passionate about a cause that will make this country better.
You either stay inside too much or are ignorant.
An impressive group of former Twins are here. Just said hello to Denard Span, Trevor Plouffe, Jesse Crain, Jason Kubel, Matt Belisle, Brendan Harris, Brad Radke, Matt Guerrier, Josh Willingham and others....
I wanted to see this city on tilt for the Vikes at the crib for the Super Bowl. Wanted to see people happy and rubidity at its highest level. I’m sorry it didn’t happen.
