The #MNTwins have lost five straight and only have four healthy starters after the injury to Bailey Ober. The path ahead appears to be difficult.

@billfehlberg Only if you presume that other teams will pay players what the Dodgers do.

Happy Memorial Day!

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Abraham Lincoln
November 19, 1863

Thank you to all who serve. Special thanks today as we honor all who gave everything for our country - we honor their families and their fellow soldiers who carry on their legacies. #MemorialDay

So just to be clear, the Trump admin. came to town today to announce charges & gave props to Nick Shirley, even though not a single person has been criminally charged with what Shirley accused them of: not having kids in their daycares. Meanwhile several people were charged today with things local media, including me, discovered and reported over the past 2 years. And yet local media is accused by Shirley et al of looking the other way. What a world we live in.

[MLB @MLB]

Come for the outstanding James Outman catch, stay for the Joe Ryan reaction 🤩🤣

[Dan Cook @DanCookWCCO]

Time to play some Frolf!

[DanHayesMLB @DanHayesMLB]

Looking like the Summer of George is starting tonight. Jason Alexander with two scoreless and Houston is in front of the #MNTwins 2-0.
