Lot of people saying the Twins' new M hat is too much like the Marlins' but I'm just not seeing it.

@greggtmasterson PA announcer Bob Casey was even schoolmarm-ier. He said something like, “This is an important game. Cut it out!”

@RandBall Jaden McDaniels’s seething hatred for the Denver Nuggets is nothing short of inspirational

[Tim Klobuchar @timklobuchar]

@Foxwriter7 Same. Which then makes good class discussions close to impossible.

Twins ownership succession tree, 1984-present

[Aaron Gleeman @AaronGleeman]

Included in this announcement from the Twins: Tom Pohlad is replacing younger brother Joe Pohlad "in overseeing the Twins organization."

Joe Pohlad says: "I will be stepping away from my day-to-day role."

Every once in a while my following of Minnesota sports and @fuckeveryword synchronizes perfectly

[Tim Klobuchar @timklobuchar]

@BMcCarthy32 Not to mention none of those other losers can even pitch.

[Tim Klobuchar @timklobuchar]

@RandBall Do you think my message in our group chat was the turning point?

[Tim Klobuchar @timklobuchar]

@DanaWessel “I was told not to be a stranger.”

[Tim Klobuchar @timklobuchar]

@RandBall @MillerStrib The return seems fine but who cares, really? It’s depressing that they’re trading him at all.

[Tim Klobuchar @timklobuchar]

@thetwinsguy After careful consideration, I’ve determined the Twins lost the Ryan Pressley trade.

[Tim Klobuchar @timklobuchar]

@RandBall After the Phil Cuzzi call, MLB made a rule that I shall never know true happiness again.

[Tim Klobuchar @timklobuchar]

@GrantMN3 Would it even be a hot take at this point to think he could be traded? This collapse might prompt Falvey to take some pretty big swings.

[Tim Klobuchar @timklobuchar]

I, for one, salute Glen Taylor for right-sizing the Wolves payroll the same night the Twins complete their collapse. The synchronicity has won me over — winning is overrated.

[Tim Klobuchar @timklobuchar]

@marymcintyre Love how these VA school boards have convinced themselves they’ll find the magic alternative to collective bargaining that no one else has thought of in the last 50 years.

[Tim Klobuchar @timklobuchar]

Not sure what Twins fans are so upset about. The most likely way this goes is they catch KC for the 5 seed, beat a slumping Orioles team in the wild card series, and then break the Yankees playoff curse in the ALDS. They’ll lose in the ALCS, though — I’m not unrealistic.

[Tim Klobuchar @timklobuchar]

Just now realized that the only team we’re going to finish ahead of in the division is the literal worst team of all time.

[Tim Klobuchar @timklobuchar]

@labuzamovies Very true. If they blow this, the vibes around this team are going to sink to late 2nd Terry Ryan regime levels, even though there’s still a lot of talent here.

[Tim Klobuchar @timklobuchar]

I have no idea how what’s left of this Twins bullpen is going to outduel Cleveland’s.
