My husband of 19 years @kevingaustin.bsky.social passed away suddenly on 11/11/24; if I seem grumpy or sad or am slow to respond-- that's why! The obituary I wrote for him is below.

Everybody in the production truck yelled at Jason Benetti simultaneously to correct him on Wii trivia.

someone buy Royce some ice cream after the game
Royce Lewis once said if drug tested he'd test positive for "ice cream" and admitted to having Batman sheets on his bed.

Late to the Twins game because of the llama costume contest (of course) but fully expect the Twins to score at least 10 runs now based on how the last two games went. I hadn't been paying much attention to the team but started tuning in again with this series . . .

In the same sense that Jacob Frey is the longtime and beloved mayor of Minneapolis, and Edina is a longtime and beloved hockey powerhouse, sure
Commentator on the Netflix broadcast of the Twins game in Dyersville just described the Pohlad family as the "longtime and beloved ownership group." @aarongleeman.bsky.social

I think someone on the Field of Dreams broadcast just referred to the Pohlads as "beloved" owners of the Twins. 😂

I've been neglecting this account and seem to have started a Field of Dreams game thread on my other account. Oops.
Ope, a bunch of Hall of Famers are now emerging from the corn and I should be posting this as @wintwins.bsky.social ope. I don't juggle accounts on here like I did on the old place.

I appreciate someone trying to sort this out.

I will say it's really great that it's possible to watch both the Lynx and Saints for free and that legally streaming a full season of Twins games (or most of them) costs $100 (or less if you snap up a deal).

Glad some games are on broadcast TV.

Justin's talking about Joe again. I really haven't been keeping track this year (and haven't had as many games on as usual).

yupppppppppp

If the Twins are going to bring back dance parties (this was discussed earlier on the broadcast), I'm going to bring this back (my post is from 2015).
This is all reminding me of Pelf's comments on the Twins almost naked dance parties early in season: http://t.co/AHSg6TcTlN

Well. Had to bring this back.

Justin is talking about Joe moonwalking.

Twins game is also on FOX 9 locally. So everyone can watch a weird game with an all-analyst booth with an analyst stationed at each foul pole why not.

Also pleased the Twins beat the Yankees on my birthday but I didn't watch the game. Ope. (I tend to avoid games where the Twins play the Yankees though I guess I could always watch the games now that I know the results.)

Kind of amused to learn that a certain local columnist who sometimes pissed me off with his Joe Mauer takes retired on my birthday.

Can't believe I hadn't done this yet. (Alt text in the previous post has links where you can get that Abolish Ice logo on t-shirts and stickers BTW. Design is by Harebrained.)

I swear on Bluesky I'm doing more sports posting from my main account. But posts like this are more aimed at very casual fans I guess (or even non-fans) so they have some idea what people are on about when talking sports here.
