After the recent Wolves and Wild play-off series, I now fear any lead can be lost.  Well, that and Minnesota sports history in general since the Vikings 1970's Superbowl streak...

I saw a meme recently....since game 7 of the 91 WS, no Minnesota MLB, NBA, NHL, or NFL team has appeared in a championship game.

No television within range is safe when the Vikings-Raiders Superbowl game is brought up. Gr-r-r-r-r. @$*&^#@($&$!

Cleveland finished 6th. In the AL East.

OOPS, Cleveland swept the series to give Kansas the division.?

Although losing to Chicago before that also added nails to the coffin.

I think Arraez started screaming before the ball made contact lol

Make 'em pay Jorge.

Dallas vs Minn (1975) is no sweet memory.

Those long head-first slides do nothing but make the time to the plate take longer.

Congrats!

This Kwan kid looks like he can play.  

No one else on planet earth other than Buxton attempts to tag up there. Elite speed.

I saw a stat recently that when you add the seasons of the four teams up - Minnesota has watched around 120 seasons of sports since the last championship.

We had this poster in my bedroom - it did not survive my brother's pain and angst after one of the losses.

Another Nick Gordon

If Rocco brings Duran out for the 9th I'll be pissed.

Update:  looks like Pagan, he of the i-can't-find-the-plate club.

Aaaaah .... well ... you know.

As long as I was riffing on historical vibes from Lewis, here comes Pagan, giving me Ron Davis chills...

Found it once, so far.

Anyobe know the ptbnl in the Rodgers trade, curious because of the injury  were not looking to good on this with Pagan only

They should have Groot be their mascot

This is the only situation i feel safe with Pagan on the mound

Lewis still needs AAA where it counts, his glove.

There was a nice write up in the WSJ comparing him to Rod Carew and Tony Olivia. He has a K% < 10. Think of him as a Luiz Arraez but with speed and a good arm. He was at Oregon State with Larnach when they won the college World Series. 

Ugh, really?

This game got interesting again...it shouldn't have.

Is there a reason we have Pagan? Just curious. He seems more of a liability than an asset.

Yeah, we wouldn't want to run up our run differential or anything.
