Latest blog entries from Minnesota teams across every league
I hate to be the “I told you so” guy (he said, lying), but this was my last line for the Minnesota preview. It all adds up to a crushing loss to an undermanned team on national television tonight. It’s the death knell for this iteration of the Houston Rockets. Again, that was before Houston […]
The Orioles’ 2026 campaign got off to a winning start on Thursday afternoon at Camden Yards. Trevor Rogers twirled yet another gem, shutting out the Twins for seven innings, before Ryan Helsley closed out the 2-1 victory in Game 1 of the year. Rogers picked up right where he left off last season. His velocity […]
A few positives came from 2026 Opening Day for the Minnesota Twins: the starter was sharp, they showed some aggressiveness on the base paths, and Byron Buxton collected a big hit. But the Twins simply were not able to successfully sequence enough safeties off Baltimore Orioles hurlers to plate more than one run in a […]
Praying for mass extinction as Purdue, Iowa, Nebraska, and Illinois all hit the hardwood tonight. Title subheader says it all, no? Anyway, happy Opening Day to you all. I’m already annoyed thinking about the Minnesota Twins, so it’s best to move on to something that makes me less angry, like college basketba— —oh Christ. It’s […]
The Minnesota Wild’s recent slide has exposed a growing problem: their blue line isn't driving offense the way it needs to for this team to win consistently.

There is no news to report on any activity happening in at the TCO Performance Center in Eagan, Minnesota. The team is likely prepping for the draft with many of the same people who have been present for the last four years of not so stellar drafts. Comforting to say the least. But heh, what […]
Ah, a fresh season. Unlimited potential. Anything is possible! Or at least, it feels that way until the moment your favorite team fails to score after having a runner on third base with no outs, or if the bullpen blows a five-run lead. That is when you remember that baseball, while beautiful, may be the […]
Obviously losing hockey games at any point of the season is not a good thing, but considering the Minnesota Wild had a streak of losses against non-playoff teams and have now lost back-to-back games against for-real Stanley Cup contenders in the Stars and Lightning, the doubt is starting to creep in...
On Wednesday night, the Houston Rockets squared off against the Minnesota Timberwolves on the prime-time slate, in a game that had a playoff feel to it. Certainly a playoff intensity.

The Minnesota Wild were wise to hold onto prospect Charlie Stramel at the trade deadline. Despite rumors linking him to potential deals, retaining the 2023 first-round pick preserves a rare asset for their future. His breakout college season and unique profile make him too valuable to trade now....
On October 12, 2008, then-Detroit Lions quarterback Dan Orlovsky made one of the most memorable blunders in NFL history when he, facing pressure from Vikings defensive end Jared Allen, ran out of the back of the Lions’ own endzone for a safety.
