Minneapolis’ Sanford Middle School asked for 85 bags of groceries to feed students. There are at least several thousand. And traffic is stacked in every direction for blocks. (The extra will go to food shelves.)

Everything is coming up
#MNTwins
tonight.
• White Sox lost so MN is atop Central and their magic number is 3.
• Yankees lost so MN magic number for home field is 1.
• Also, if MN wins the Central they won’t face Yankees in either of the first two rounds of playoffs.

She found us in 1996. We made an offer in 24 hours, fearing we had no idea what we were doing. We didn’t, but she did the heavy lifting, taking exceptional care of our family. She is ready for another now, and I want to say thank you and goodbye. (thread)

I hope Falvey & Levine understand this turns up the heat considerably on 2019. They get their manager, it’s year three of the overhaul & the bad contracts are gone. They have about $60M to spend this offseason. There are no more excuses & little room for error.

Just to pile on to that called 3rd strike, it was a 2-2 count. Ump has every incentive to let the batter and pitcher resolve that at-bat themselves at 3-2 and not insert himself into it. Far more often in that situation a close strike is called a ball. Just egregious.

The

statement below is true, BUT they also followed the money, agreeing to a TV contract with Diamond Sports that requires them to NOT allow their fans any in-market streaming options. (And then, of course, pocketed that money.)
From the

regarding their TV situation as Comcast and Diamond Sports/Bally’s feud, leaving fans at home without games possibly as soon as tomorrow.

I’m gonna be a Biden guy regardless, given the other option. But as someone who has personal experience with the impregnable wall that stuttering is to connection, let me tell you: this stuff matters. It may well be why we’re here. If you saw my last RT, here’s why it matters.

One reason for the

to chase Kimbrel: nobody in the bullpen is quite good enough for their slot. Rogers isn’t quite good enough to be the best bullpen arm. Hildy & Parker aren’t quite good enough to be 2nd/3rd best. And so on. Kimbrel fixes lots of problems, not just one.

Kiner-Falefa is a 26yo, decent-fielding, light-hitting shortstop who is under contract for two years. He's perhaps serviceable, but there isn't a lot of upside there. Trading away Mitch Garver for him makes the buzzing in my brain start.
