In your opinion, does minnesota have a 'panhandle'? I submit that it does, right at the tippy top there.

More of a "plug" or "stopper".....  

[Jax]

Soooooooo strange how we have been playing better on the road but I'll take it!!

[David HK]

Man, as a ND boy, I've spent many a long hour navigating those wind-swept plains highways and byways in a few of those states. Right now, I'm journeying from one end of the HK subway to the other, and thanks to those comments above, in a pleasant reverie. On the mobile site, sometimes the likey button appears, sometimes it doesn't. Today is a not day, but all those tales of navigating those ribbons of highway-- they're well-liked indeed.

[Jax]

Bauer doesn't have anything so far.

[Riverbrian]

 

Maybe it's just me, but the Twins TV network actively promoting Wisconsin Dells in pregame (and usually some during the game) pieces bugs me. Why not partner with tourist spots in Minnesota? North Shore? Mississippi River Wineries? Walnut Grove and the Laura Ingalls pagaent? I'm sure there is no shortage. I'm sure they would welcome the exposure. Explore MINNESOTA!

 

Wisconsin Dells is trying to pull the Minnesotans in. 

 

Explore Minnesota is trying to pull Iowans in.

It does but your hand will get wet when you grab it. 

[Jax]

Eat it Cleveland

[yarnivek1972]

Give Castro some oxygen.

[Huddy]

THIS IS FUN

[Jham]

Wow, Target Field... you are awful... can we please replant the spruce trees in center field and ends the curse? Please?

[Jax]

I think it's time to wear the road uniforms at home.

Another Twin's song for Target Field:

Bauer is good enough to be the Twins spot starter. (Kidding. He can be pretty good.)

Or bring back Wally the Beerman, as I date the 'sucking' at home to that mess up!

I thought I read he passed? Perhaps I'm mistaken?

I would characterize it more as a hook for convenient wall mounting...

Eddie!!

Just kidney stones.

Fun fact: There was some talk of the Northwest Angle (that's what that section of land at the "top" of Minnesota is called) seceeding from the United States 20 years ago and joining Canada - which would make sense geographically. The leaders of the Red Lake Indian nation (who own most of the land) did not support the idea and thus it went nowhere. So, the 120 or so residents are forced to drive through Canada to reach the rest of the state.

[Danchat]

Wait, I thought this game started at 7:10... well, I won't complain with a 4-0 lead.

[PDX Twin]

I've always thought of the Northwest Angle as a chimney.

I love it up there. 

 

The Islands are beautiful. 

 

One of the great Minnesota Spots... Right after Target Field.

It did. If you live in Cleveland.

Note to Mejia: Don't walk guys hitting .174. That is all.

[Jax]

Geez our pitching is going to F this game up again. Ugh..

Fixed

Until today I have always used a flip phone. But one of my clients insists on texting, which is tough on a flip phone. So i got a smart phone that arrived this afternoon.

 

The first thing that i did on the smart phone was to ask for the Twins score.  It told me that the Twins were winning 3-0 in the second inning. I figured that it must be broken.

[Jax]

I can't take the crap...
