Kyrie Irving Wants to Be in MN (among other teams) and MN Social Media Lost It:

  • A report surfaced on Friday afternoon that Kyrie Irving requested a trade recently away from LeBron James and the Cavaliers. Not only does he want to leave LeBron but he listed Minnesota as a preferred landing spot… Slap yourself and blink as many times as you want. You aren’t dreaming. Is this what we are in for now that we have a legitimate young talented roster? Only time will tell. Here is OUR reaction to the news.



 

Twins (48-47) Lose vs. Detroit 6-3:

  • It was a rough start for Santana as he threw 97 pitches in just 3.1 innings before being replaced. He was going to 3-ball counts way too often. He wasn’t himself. The offense tried to make a comeback. They had a big 4th inning. Sano had 1 RBI and Adrianza had 2 RBI. However, the bats would go silent after that. The Tigers would score one more in the top of the 9th and the Twins go down 6-3. Cleveland handled the Blue Jays handily so the Twins drop to 1.5 back heading into the game tomorrow vs Detroit at 6:10 PM.
  • WE WILL BE AT TARGET FIELD TOMORROW! SEE YOU THERE!

 

Tom Kelly Gets His Statue at Target Field: 

  • We mentioned this a couple days ago but it happened on Thursday. T.K. was honored with his own statue. It is well deserved:

 

Vikings’ Rookies Report to Training Camp Sunday:

  • The Vikings’ season is quickly approaching! FINALLY! We will have plenty on that as things roll toward Training Camp and then the season. Until then, here are some articles to quench your Purple Drank Thirst:

 

Oh Yeah, and Nobody Knows What is Going on w/Braves’ Garcia “Imminent Trade” to Twins:
