I hope Twayn's doctors are as good at repairs as he is. Get well, friend.

Aguilas scored four in the ninth to defeat Estrellas 7-6 yesterday. Vidal Brujan was 2-for-2 with a double. Fernando Tatis, Jr. was 2-for-4 with a triple. Dairon Blanco was 2-for-5. Jurickson Profar hit a home run, his second. Andy Otero started and pitched five shutout innings, giving up two hits and a walk and striking out three. The loss went to Neftali Feliz (1-1), who allowed four runs on two hits and three walks in two-thirds of an inning, striking out one.
La Guaira scored all of their runs in the second, but it was enough as they blanked Caribes 5-0. Willians Astudillo was 0-for-4. Caribes only had two hits. Starter Edgar Escobar took the loss, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks in 1.2 innings while striking out two.
Rudy Gobert on Draymond Green: “I have empathy for him. You see somebody that’s not well inside and suffering. You take away the game and all that, and you want somebody to be well and be able to do what we do every night and compete and be happy.” https://t.co/Awol2ow6bs
By the way, I've seen enough this season to officially reject Geoff's scouting report on Rudy. Whatever Utah's problems were over the years, it wasn't Rudy.
If I'm not mistaken, Utah's problems were bad guard defense leaving Rudy on an island.
Great job on the picture selection.
Just heard from someone in the know that the Twins let Rob Antony go. I'm sure it is ballysports' fault.
They did say they would cut payroll.
I'm surprised he lasted this long under Falvine. I don't think he was necessarily an "Analytics guy."
I'm in agreement on the flag opinion here, but I can't help but think MN will start looking into home/away flags, and a throwback flag, and a city flag, and a ...
Yeah, pretty much my thoughts. Someone at the meeting tweeted out an alternative Polaris Monocolor variant with all light blue on the right side, and that's not too bad either, but I think the tricolor has a little more oomph.
I still think the North Star Flag should’ve been a finalist. It started this conversation years before anyone took the issue seriously, and it’s a good design.
I think the blue of Polaris Tricolor (my preferred finalist, too) belongs at the top, where it also stands in for Lake Superior. If your flag has an abstract depiction of the state on it, lean into it, I say…
I'm pretty okay with the North Star flag, but it reminds me of this guy:
Kind of on this point, I've seen the versions that try to get the shape more in line with Minnesota's shape, but when they have to move the star to compensate, it starts to look like Pac-Man to me.
I am ok with his pick and solidly in agreement with the awfulness of wavy and the corporate dullness of the other.
Apparently MN is okay with the pick, too, and now is evaluating variations
What about the seal? The motto is no longer on it.

I loved the new seal, and although I'd have liked to see our bop state motto on it, I'm cool with it's replacement
What could be more holiday joyeux than Shane Patrick Lysaght MacGowan ?
