Same experience here. For me, I’ve discovered, it is not the end of the world at all. It can even disappear for about a year, and I do play pick-up sports. I hope that’s true for CC. -
Didn’t see it, but Mets radio broadcasters said that Polanco’s shovel wasn’t on line.

Royce Lewis is already “the very dangerous Royce Lewis” to the Mets radio broadcasters.
-
A staggering number of players have been both Twins and Mets over the decades (a good trivia question), but I don’t see this one happening.
-
Had to leave for an hour of volunteer work with C4’s DP in the 12th. Came back dreading what I would find. Well, pleasant surprise. Have a good night everyone.
-
I was vaguely trying to recall that, as well.
-
A national audience for this…😪
-
No more getting beaten by former Twins, please.
-
Jax’s father was an NFL player? I didn’t know that.
-
Just tuned in for that!!
-
I had no excuse not to watch at least part of this game: Isolating because of an extremely mild case of Covid. Why weren’t you folks doing something else and sparing yourselves the misery?
-
Just tuned in with the bases loaded! Big boo boo was tuning into the audio rather than TV but not complaining.
-
Had a little Phillies preview on TV last night while visiting friends in South Jersey. Glad I wasn’t able to stay for this game!! I did have the “Hey, you guys have Jake Cave?” reaction.

How did you become a Twins fan?
Longdistancetwins commented on Devlin Clark's blog entry in Devlin Clark
I grew up in northern New Jersey where an older brother decided he would not be a Yankee fan, but be a Twins fan (I think because his first live baseball game was at Yankee Stadium against the Twins). We would both be up early in summer, and he’d be checking the standings in the newspaper and explaining things to me like what a “1/2 game behind” means—not at all obvious to ten-year old me. I followed along and then realized how much every game mattered: It was 1967 and even as a brand new fan, I was aware that I had stumbled into the still greatest pennant race in history. Of course I was disappointed in the result, losing out to Boston on the last day of the season, but, yeah, I was hooked and have remained a long distance fan. (As for the brother, decades later he moved to New England and became a Red Sox fan who still cares for the Twins). He wears a David Ortiz jersey, so there’s not much I can say… -

Yeah, but pants just below the knees look great. Kudos to the players who brought that back. -

Just tuned in for MAT’s at bat. You’re welcome. -
Since I’m in New York, I’m aware that KC has been beating up on the New York Mets, as well.
-
Thanks for the thread, Indiana.
-
Still like the All-Star Game but could never get in to the Home Run Derby.
-
Close. Nice job, Sonny, against some genuine All-Stars.
-
Luis! No surprise.
-
I think most Twins fans don’t think the trade was lopsided given our need for starting pitching. It’s the rest of baseball that may see it that way.
-
And so far, nobody has said, “Luis Who?”
-
Love the Royals lately.
