This is what we were expecting from Saturday's football game vs. Michigan State, right?

Twins fans can live off this moment for a few years while their team . . . whatevers, right? 😜
Paul Molitor & Jack Morris will throw out the ceremonial first pitch tonight at Rogers Centre per MLB

Sports Take: Recapping an awful Minnesota sports week filled with losses, injuries and a new Twins manager whose hiring doesn't exactly spark confidence. It's gotta get better, right?

Has anyone checked the baseball tweets on Truth Social?

Without the pitch clock, this game would be on Wednesday right now.

If Game 7 of the 1991 World Series (Twins vs. Atlanta) had gone into the 17th inning, would Jack Morris have refused to come out of the game? (Happy 34th anniversary of that game to all who celebrate.)

Hey, @fox9mn.bsky.social . Do we still get the late news after the game?
October 28, 2025 at 6:12 AM
Letting the night go by, let the innings hold me down.
You may ask yourself, "Who's left in the bullpen?"
You may ask yourself, "How long is this really going to go?"
And you may ask yourself, "What time do I clock in tomorrow?"
And you may say to yourself, "My God, what have they done?"

This looks like a stealth FanDuel promotion.

For Blue Jays fans watching in Newfoundland, it is now 3 a.m. The Atlantic Time Zone + 30 really sucks right now.

There is a Blue Jays fan in my wife’s kindergarten class, and I’m kind of hoping the game is going on when she wakes up in the morning so she can see the end.

Never thought the 2025 World Series would resemble a 2025 Twins intrasquad game.

How much time does Sandy Koufax need to warm up?
October 28, 2025 at 4:57 AM
Bulk wise, this is the biggest day of the pro sports year. Only one with MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL and MLS all in action.

Hello, Minnesota.

Sports Take: Anthony Edwards sends message with season-opening excellence. Disobedient Gophers fans get Fleck's praise. Wolves fans may have seen Chauncey Billups coach his final game. Women's hockey brawl largely ignored. Floyd of Rosedale backstory & more.

Over/Under on the number of times John Smoltz brings up Game 7 of the 1991 World Series? Twins 1, Atlanta 0 in 10 innjngs. Morris vs Smoltz, who got replaced in the eighth inning of a scoreless tie. Greatest Game 7 ever.
