I made this bet today. It’s essentially getting 10/1 that the Twins win 82, 83, 84, 85, or 86 games.
ESPNBet is the 81.5 number and FanDuel is the 86.5 number.
In my opinion, FanDuel has the inflated line, so if you’re interested in Twins u86.5 with the injuries, head to Iowa.
Here are the playoff records of the core 4 Minnesota teams since the day the Twins won vs. the Yankees in Game 1 of the 2004 playoffs.
Wild 20-43
Vikings 4-7
Wolves 1-4
Twins 0-18
That's a combined winning percentage of .258.
Good night.
At least 1 in 59 children born today have autism. My son (in yellow) is one.
I love this picture since it features NFL MVP
@PatrickMahomes
, and my MVP, Jack. Everyday he takes on the sights, sounds and challenges of this world.
Have patience with them.
#WorldAutismAwarenessDay
Good morning, Minnesota.
Your Timberwolves are +290 to win the NBA Championship. That’s the lowest odds to win a title by a Minnesota NBA/NFL/MLB/NHL team since the ‘98 Vikings.
#WolvesBack
Since the Minnesota Twins World Series title in 1991, here are the playoff series records for the Core-4 Minnesota teams (counting each Viking game as a series).
Twins 1-9 (.100)
Wolves 2-9 (.182)
Wild 4-11 (.267)
Vikings 8-15 (.348)
Proud of my brave kid today. Since he’s immuno-compromised, he’s had to go through several doctor appointments and pokes and prods, but was finally cleared for the COVID-19 vaccine.
He got the shot like a true champ.

BREAKING: Minnesota sports betting passes 70-57 in the House.
Long road ahead with opposition in the Senate, but an important milestone on the road to legalization.
Iowa reports a record $87.1 million in sports bets were placed in November. That's up 47% from November of 2019 and puts Iowa on pace for a $550 million handle in 2020 despite the pandemic.
Minnesota held steady at $0.
Here's the last time that each of the core-4 Minnesota teams won multiple games in the same post-season.
Wild - 2016
Wolves - 2004
Twins - 2002
Vikings - 1987
Some of you know my Dad, Archie. He died today at the age of 81.
He was a hard-worker, awesome father and grandfather, and generous with his time and money. He will be missed.
Rest In Peace, Dad. I love you.
RIP to Sid Hartman, the legendary columnist whose columns helped me learn sports as a kid.
Dark Star has been waiting for you, Sid. He's got 8 years' worth of sports takes to go over with you.

Minnesota Twins on pace to go 0-81 in games when loyal fans show up at Target Field to put money in the Pohlads' pockets that will in no way, shape, or form be used to improve the team.

One of my favorite things on Twitter is seeing this girl’s smile.
Happy 40th Birthday, Kelly Lambert! I hope you get a TON of snacks today. I’m betting on the over.
As an autism parent, I am continuously learning something new. In addition to teaching me about things like Roblox and Talking Tom, Jack has also taught me patience, empathy, gratitude, and living in the moment.
I couldn't possibly ask for a better teacher.

Thanks to the video

found, the
@InitialsGame
debate is over. Unless you're so anti-Sauce that you believe Fran would actually pronounce his own name wrong.
Send your apologies to
@MeatSauce1
. In a perfect world, we'd get a Sauce vs. Frank head-to-head rematch.
Iowa just set another record, taking in $161.4 million in sports bets in March. That includes a record $13.8 million from Diamond Jo near the Minnesota border.
Good thing the politicians in Minnesota are doing such a great job of keeping their residents away from this evil.
NFL Suspensions
4 games - Tom Brady (deflating footballs)
6 games - DeShaun Watson (alleged sexual misconduct)
17 games - Calvin Ridley (betting on NFL football while injured and not playing while the NFL struck numerous marketing deals with sportsbooks)
Here's the Hero that first performed CPR on Damar Hamlin. He is Assistant Athletic Trainer Denny Kellington of the Bills. 👏👏👏
Also, I would think this should earn him the title of Certified Athletic Trainer, right? 🤷♂️
After tonight, the Las Vegas Golden Knights will have as many playoff wins in their history as the Wolves and Wild combined.
Just let that sink in.
#MinnesotaPain
Dear Minnesota Twins,
It's been 6937 days since you won a playoff game. A lot has happened since then. Bush was re-elected. Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. Bin Laden was killed. And that whole smart phone thing.
For the sanity of all of us, please end it. Today. ⚾️🙏
Charch Challenge punishment for 2018:

Goodnight, Twitter. If you’re not there when I wake up, a pic of Rodgers looking downtrodden with the NFC North standings will have to suffice for my final Tweet.
#Delicious
Not that anyone cares, but I'd love to see the Charch punishment bars kept secret by
@Chris_Hawkey

@MeatSauce1
until the Thursday of Punishment Weekend, so the guys will have no idea where they're going until right before.
I agree with Leber that less rubes = more punishment

Charch Challenge Update
Do I get an automatic spot on the Rube Committee for doing all the work tracking this? Because it sure looks like we will need one after Joe Mixon destroys all hope with a record 51-point performance.
@Chris_Hawkey

Bet Result Alert:
@CoryCove

@Chris_Hawkey
as Texas blows a huge 2nd half lead and is eliminated.
Not only does everyone lose to Cory, he closes it out before the Final Four for the first time ever.
We were reminded several times yesterday about the Gary Anderson kick.
Let’s continue the memories by celebrating the 8 year anniversary of the Brandon Bostick onside kick.
10 1/2 hours left and I’m committed to finishing. There are two more bus changes that I have to make. The Omaha one will be touch and go. If I make that I should be good. Either way, I don’t like quitting & I don’t like fantasy football.
