I’m happy with the #MNTwins score over the Yankees, but couldn’t they have saved a 15-0 game against them for the regular season?

Yes, That Mancini’s: How a Legendary St. Paul Steakhouse Raised $35K for the Resistance - Racket β€˜The Gathering for Good’ brought the West 7th neighborhood together.

I did a story on the last business there when I worked for the Post Bulletin, which was the last shoe repair shop in town.

The owners also own a local liquor store that has a really nice selection of beers that aren't available much other places in town.

Should be a good new bar they have there.

Kendry Rojas pitched a pair of shutout innings in his spring debut!

The hard throwing southpaw was acquired at the deadline last season from Toronto and could be a fixture for the Twins this year. Loud velocity paired with elite extension from the left side is always interesting

Pablo Lopez’s MRI yesterday came back showing a β€˜significant tear’ in his right elbow.

He’ll get a second opinion and be shut down for at least a week to reevaluate options. Surgery is on the table as one of those options.
