Twins promote one more chance to live in the past

The Minnesota Twins are in the death rattle phase of 2016 season. Other than Brian Dozier and a clearly rejuvenated Byron Buxton, previously known as the savior of the franchise, there's no reason to go to a ballgame. So you can hardly blame the Twins for resorting to a fade and disgraced fashion to try to get fans into the ballpark: Zubaz, the fashion version of the mullett.

In attack on KARE reporter, Star Tribune columnist crosses the line

In attack on KARE reporter, Star Tribune columnist crosses the line

If there was a time for everyone to cut everyone else some slack, the last few days was it. Indeed, in the wake of the recitation in court on Tuesday of the last minutes of Jacob Wetterling, one could almost feel Minnesotans pulling just a bit closer, trying to shield themselves from the indecency and depravity of it all. So the attack on Wednesday evening by Star Tribune gossip columnist C.J. -- she never uses her real name -- on KARE 11 journalist Jana Shortal because of her clothing while reporting the Wetterling story seems an indecency all its own.

Gloves come off after insult about Wisconsin beer

Gloves come off after insult about Wisconsin beer

Deadspin's Drew Magary wasn't even writing about beer when he penned his Green Bay Packers preview a couple of weeks ago. The insult to the state's hops just sort of fit right after calling Green Bay 'a disgusting fraud, a haven for sheltered racism and passive aggressive hostility all cloaked in supposed old-school values.'

Twins’ Dozier homers again. Twins lose again. Should they trade him?

Poor Brian Dozier. It was obvious in Paul Molitor's post-loss news conference that now people will consider it a disappointment if he doesn't hit 40 homers every season.
