Connecticut is playing like a team that got put in the wrong division at an AAU tournament. Lynx 62, Sun 31. 7:18 left in 3rd quarter.

Lynx just came out for warmups against Connecticut and I'm a bit disappointed nobody blindsided Marina Mabrey in the Sun layup line. #IrresponsiblePost 🏀😜

Damn, we're gonna miss Phil Miller when he leaves @startribune.com later this year in the Buyout Class of '25. DETROIT - Bailey Ober equaled a record held by a Hall of Famer on Saturday. If only that accomplishment was as great as it sounds... 1/3

I think people stayed home from the #MNTwins tonight to watch the @thepwhl.com draft.

THAT'S 80 RUNS GIVEN UP BY #MNTWINS IN THEIR LAST 63 INNINGS AT TARGET FIELD THAT KIND OF SUCK IS ONE OF THE FEW THINGS WORTHY OF AN ALL-CAPS POST.

Drinking game: one for every time someone with the #MNTwins says that Bailey Ober "had only one bad inning" tonight.

I can live with Trevor Plouffe's occasionally over-the-top optimism about the #MNTwins because he's also so good at explaining when things aren't done well. Tonight that includes Correa's throwing error, Lee's base running and Ober's location. Plouffe's easily the best Twins.TV analyst.

There's a blocks-long line outside the Twins-Brewers game to see Insane Clown Posse next door to Target Field. Should have brought a case of Faygo to cool them down.

Fifteen years later and Phil Cuzzi is still giving the Twins make-up calls for robbing Joe Mauer of a double during the 2009 postseason.
