Loons-Sounders combine for five goals and three cards in the first half. You might want to tune in

Lynx-Valkyries pregame...

The view from the TV booth - where my man Paul Allen is calling the game - is slightly better than where the scribes work.

This lineup is going to look different tomorrow...

Throwing from flat ground....

Got home at 3 am. Storms around MSP forced us to sit in Omaha for 90 minutes. Then took another 90 to land because we had to head north to get around storm system. Still got hammered with turbulence while coming in. Passengers applauded when we landed.

Dustin May is an interesting pitcher. I think he's throwing slop, but some of that slop is coming in at 94mph. That means it is nastyyyy.

I.......like the colors!

Camp day crowd treated to a 15 point Lynx lead through three quarters

Final from Target Field. Be here tomorrow.....

Car collectors weekly takeover of the Inver Grove Heights A&W underway.

The Frost, I believe, are the first Minnesota pro sports team to win consecutive titles since the Minneapolis Lakers. That's nearly three generations of disgruntled Minnesota sports fans ago.

Battle of Lakeville High Schools at Target Field

Denver eliminated. Wild should feel a need. A need for Zeev... www.startribune.com/brock-faber-...

FALL!?!?!?!

That was a DH-only first pitch from Nelson Cruz.

Breakfast on the plaza, complete with Pitbull music thumping

Twins put in a lot of work to play even worse than what they tried to avoid. Martin Perez looks like Frank Tanana today

Field looks playable...

Join us for the first-ever Talk North Sports Report live show this Wednesday, March 26, at Parlay Kitchen & Bar in downtown Minneapolis! The show kicks off at 7:00 PM. Me, Russo, J.K., Souhan and Mark Rosen. What could possibly go wrong!!!

There is light rain with a chance for storms. Tarp is down...

Today's lineup from Fort Myers

Petting zoo at Hammond Stadium this morning, a surprise from Rocco.

28th trip to Fort Myers for spring training is underway.

Much appreciated!

Question for the audience: Who makes good clam chowder in the Twin Cities?

Aside from Brock Stewart (surgery) every Twin will be on a regular progression schedule when training camp opens.

Happy New Year!

Aaron Huglen just scored for the Gophers. I'm writing about him for Thursday's paper. He's married and his wife is due in February when the Gophs are chugging toward the NCAA playoffs.

It is something else when a 10-year old sees you in a restaurant and says "you said on the radio that the Vikings would be in last place and the Bears would be in second."

Makes for a great Christmas present for your Twins fan friends and relatives! The Franchise: Minnesota Twins a.co/d/4JKDz4J

Banner. Raised.

Just left the piano bar. Vikings fans lined up on the way to the exit Skol-ing everyone....

I'm at the Redhead Piano Lounge in Chicago (heated patio for cigar folks). Staff telling Vikings fans rolled in after the game with Skol chants. Packers fans showed up after last week's game.

Actual view from pressbox....😂

This is the side of Soldier Field that faces Lake Michigan. Thought the lake, Collonades and flag made for a decent shot.

Can the Skippers pull off a magical comeback!

I expect the Vikes to win by double digits on Sunday.

This is a BIG development

Wil Trapp I mean

I just needed to talk to Will Trapp after training. Loons decided to play an entire 90 minute game, followed by penalty kicks. Just spent four hours at the stadium. And, despite my efforts, Trapp wouldn't say anything disparaging about a Galaxy team that has owned them.

Loons training for next week's game against the Galaxy

Netflix are you kidding me
