Twins LOSE vs Blue Jays in Game 3 of 4:

The Gophers got utterly dominated in this game. It really wasn’t close all game.

Donaldson homered twice. It wasn’t fun. Here are some videos because I don’t want to type about it.

Again, this game was never close. The Twins would lose 7-2. Mejia only made it through 3 innings. It was just bad in a lot of ways. The Twins need to turn it around. But the Vikings are on Sunday… so I won’t be watching… We will still have a recap though.

They will play the Jays in the final game of the series at 1:10 PM. It will be Gibson vs Joe Biagini (3-10, 5.07 ERA)

The Twins currently lead the 2nd AL Wild Card spot by 1.5 games. The Angels are leading the Rangers 1-0 in the 6th inning.

Gopher Football DOMINATES Middle Tennessee State University:

1st Quarter

The first drive for the Gophers was beautiful. It was an 11-play drive that spanned 68 yards. Unfortunately, it would stall and require a Carpenter field goal. The Gophers’ offense would get the ball two more times in the quarter but they would falter both times. Luckily, their defense is extremely good… READ MORE

Keys Vikings Beating the Steelers Sunday: 

Minnesota Vikings (1-0) @ Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0)
Sunday, September 17, 2017 – Noon CT

There is one ominous question that remains as we head into Sunday’s business meeting between the Vikings and Steelers:

Will Sam Bradford play?

The question doesn’t yet have an answer but the Vikings were concerned enough to sign practice squad QB, Alex Sloter, to the active roster Saturday. The plan was to have just 2 QB’s active for Sunday’s game, until Bradford was still at a questionable status on Saturday… READ MORE

How do the #Vikings win tomorrow @ the Steelers? It starts with a starting Sam Bradford.. but there’s more: #SKOL https://t.co/8E4O1cDu8q
