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.

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. Links in alt-text to details on that Abolish ICE Twins logo. <3

It's bc these are both things the two wolves inside us howl at. Handsome pitchers and the moon.

Dodgers Pride Night is June 5 against the Angels, and they are putting up a permanent display in the centerfield plaza at Dodger Stadium honoring Glenn Burke and Billy Bean

Gotta appreciate a pitcher who is rocking high pink socks today. (And who allowed just one run.)

Hearing the "Win Twins" song inside my head as the Twins score some runs. Let's go. (That's my jam, obviously.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvbI...

L: I just have to finish this tweet wishing Joe's Mom a happy Mother's Day. K: Is she on Twitter? L: No. K: Is Joe? L: No. K: Jake?

This is still a great piece (I didn't expect the Bob Feller story and other stuff).

Big Fella back in May 2013. (I mostly remember my mom was so relieved the Mother's Day ballpark giveaway wasn't pink-- I'm not sure she wore her floppy navy blue hat much, but Wayne Hattaway did at least once . . . )

A thread for you, this Mother's Day. (I hope Teresa Mauer has a nice day.)

I looked at half a dozen or more other teams of the 22 that offer their own streaming and none of them were having a half price deal now/yet. But the Twins . . . well.

I did a Twingo thread on my other account, what am I even doing? (Just not used to juggling multiple accounts on Bluesky, I tend to just use windowseat probably because I'm mostly using basic web interface and not deck blue or something.)

I don't think baseball should be played in the rain. Might be why rain delays and rainouts exist, who can say?

Oh hi Mitch Garver (who is with the Mariners these days). Also hi Justin (back in the booth for this homestand I guess). (Guess who just remembered to turn on the Twins game.) (Though I think it's bad to play in the rain.)

Stop hitting Byron Buxton!

Sorry we we cannot return to this

I may find Byron Buxton diving catches and catches where he slams up against walls very stressful. I'm always conflicted like "YAY" but also "PLEASE BE OKAY" because oof.

Byron Buxton is so fast and good and hopefully not hurt

🦌🛻🚨🔥🚀 Byron Buxton Did a Thing! 🚀🔥🚨🛻🦌 (Was it good? Uh . . . let's hope he's not hurt.)

🔥☔️🦌🛻🚨Byron Buxton Dinger! 🚨🛻🦌☔️🔥

I'd missed the news that Anthony Recker was going to be on Twins broadcasts. Huh. (It was funny I tuned in earlier and Cory talked so long without anyone talking I had no idea if anyone else was there until Denard finally said something.) (Not a knock against Denard.)

For fuck's sake, Twins. It's Joe's birthday! Not cool.

Went looking for some old posts on the other place and was reminded of the post I had pinned for years which reminded me of that time I learned about a Joe Mauer dinger because @haydena51.bsky.social reposted it. Good times.

Happy Birthday to.... JOE MAUER!!!

Liking all the posts in thisi thread or most of them because welp.

Amazing that this link still works, including the groovy dance beat version of Gardy going off about Hunter Wendelstedt wanting showtime.

They could be challenging so many calls. (It's Joe Mauer's birthday and you know Joe would've challenged some things.)

Cory Provus asked Glen Perkins what he'd get Joe Mauer for his birthday and that led to this exchange: Perk: "I sent him a nice text." Cory: "Did he respond?" Perk "Not yet. He will. He's better at responding to texts than you are." Now they're bickering about texting response times.

Ope, must be time again for creepy cow umpires.

My thread of STrib coverage of Joe Mauer's high school career from the old place, but when imported the alt text didn't come through (alas). Maybe I'll redo it one of these days.

LOL at this thread from April 3, 2019 wherein Justin Morneau talks about Joe Mauer's bats . . . (I'm glad to have some of my old posts here, because this is important stuff obviously.)

Happy birthday to our homegrown, first-ballot Hall of Famer, Joe Mauer!!!! What is your favorite #7 moment?

Happy 43rd birthday to first-ballot Hall of Famer Joe Mauer! This heads-up play will always be legendary 😤

This is no average day, and the first catcher to win three AL batting titles is no average Joe. Join us in wishing Hall of Fame catcher Joe Mauer a happy birthday! 🎉

Get out the hard stuff* it's time to celebrate Joe's birthday. * chocolate milk

I truly believe that if this happens (or the inverse) this weekend it will cause a seismic shift in vibes

I may have posted these a lot back in the day at the other place.

Drew Butera Mentioned so . . .

Whoever designed the typeface for the 5 needs a stern talking to.

The Twins and Tigers really don't play each other again until June? So weird. Still not sure I'm wild about how the schedules work these days but maybe I'm just old.

Just in time for the Phillies to have an off day, Based is now live in the App Store

(👏💜🎶 Let’s Go Crazy! 🎶💜👏) (Josh Bell just hit a dinger for the Twins at Target Field.) I still have that text replacement thingie set up. Also I should remember to do my sports posting from this account not @windowseat.bsky.social.

Uh, Twins, what are you doing?

Ladies and gentlemen… Justin Morneau doing a high-pitch “OW” while watching the Twins catcher get nailed in the balls.

2014. (Looking at old posts, trying to figure out how many years Kevin & I joked about Vlad breaking the moon. Pretty much every year since that commercial came out probably.)

Classic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=heWK...

From 2011. Have I mentioned that old commercial featuring Vlad senior yet on this app/site? I did it a lot back on the other place.
