My love for coaching and basketball will not change.🏀💚
"Always stay humble and kind" was playing while I wrote this. A great reminder.

This is great TV and shows how baseball is a sport of stories and life. It's SO difficult. And what's almost spiritual, Ben McDonald is able to tell his entire, well delivered, thoughtful story uninterrupted. The ball is not put in play during his compelling monologue. And Eduardo Perez and Mike Monaco don't say a word.

@GregBerge Congratulations, Coach Berge. You are a tremendous coach, leader, and person. Your impact stretches far beyond Lake City basketball.

Monday was the second time the @Twins and @Vikings won on the road on the same day (reg or post).

The other came on September 15, 1985, when Minnesota rode the arms of Bert Blyleven and Tommy Kramer to victories at Cleveland and Tampa Bay, respectively.

This says it all; Coach is loved.

Pohlads saw the debacle that was the Glen Taylor ending and said, "Hold my beer." Guess we have the Turkey is the Year in July! @Patrick_Reusse

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.

Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.

At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.

Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.

My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

@Adams_Steve I'm not sure if this is able to be tracked, but I'm only assuming the degree of difficulty of the pitches has gotten higher? Sweepers, splinkers, etc.

On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson broke baseball's color barrier when he made his MLB debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers

Thank you, Jackie

[Casey Pack @caseypack3]

Wow. Powerful and so cool. Hard to keep a dry eye.

[Casey Pack @caseypack3]

@bbaumann3bc @MillerStrib Me too! Says is blacked out. 🤬

[Casey Pack @caseypack3]

@CitPubSports It's not because of Greenway. Boys did it last year. It's common sense. AAA plays Thursday. AA plays Friday night. Give the athletes time to recover before title game.

[Casey Pack @caseypack3]

@noeljmclaughlin @LaurenM_40 Good luck!! I've been following all season. Playoff time is fantastic!!

[Ted @tlschwerz]

@ExTwinsNews 32 starts every single year. That is consistency and health!!

[Casey Pack @caseypack3]

@ColbyPack The alternative is to hope the worst team in the history of MLB can beat the Tigers. #TomahawkChop
