    All Things 2026 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    When the Rain Delay started I got the popcorn ready and fired up the Linda Ronstadt documentary. Finished it and was surprised to see they were waiting it out at Target Field. Not quite like the old days when TV would roll with This Week in Baseball or World Series highlight films. The...

    The Sabres just tacked another one on for Buffalo. So we got that going for us.

    Leo was also really good as Howard Hughes in The Aviator.

    Best female singimg voice of the 70s and 80s.

    I rest my case, having just watched Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice. Kevin Kline co-signs. Great movie, such an interesting career. She did what she wanted. Killing it at every turn. I smiled greatly when they played a couple of touchstone moments I have called out in the thread...

    Putting a pause on the Career WAR tracking for Brooks Lee. Seems to have jinxed him into a 2-21 stretch over the last 5 games.

    Happy John Candy Day!

    I finished watching John Candy: I Like Me. It's a delight and especially poignant given that Catherine O'Hara has a lot of screen time and has also since passed. The Mac Culkin interview was also quite heartfelt with his memories as a kid. I did not realize he was that close with Bill Murray...

    Investor is bringing back 1980s Pizza Huts

    That's an undeniable earworm, but not in a good way.

    Underrated Spielberg film. I need to add that to my "re-visit" list.

    Is it enough time to secure a pilot's license and fly such a banner during the proceedings?

    Newsflash: Fran McCaffery (and his wife) are terrible people

    Did Fran really win that much to merit the fixing of anything much less everything?

    All things golf

    The PGA Championship comes through again with an unheralded winner who I had never heard of before this weekend. Welcome to the Rich Beem Club, someone named Aaron Rai. Have you met YE Yang and Shaun Micheel to go over the Secret Handshake? 2 glover.

    Buffalo and San Diego have longer droughts in terms of years. Much longer.. I'll use that as my coping mechanism.

    Yeah equal. Co-losers. Any "tie breaking" is completely random jibberish. As for limiting to only caring about the last 10 years, I think you will be on an Island of 1.

    The whole thing is "absolutely made up". They both suck. Neither the Lions nor Vikings have any trophies for at least winning the NFC Conference for a half century. But the Lions have been closer more recently than the Vikings. Twice. That's an inconvenient truth.

    You should have lead with the Red Wings missing the Playoffs for 10 seasons instead of the Lions/Vikings. That is staggering brutal in a league in which half the teams makes the Playoffs, currently. It was more than half until Seattle was granted a franchise. I think the Eastern Conference...

    Maybe, even probably, but at least they will have been on that stage and provides another week or two of celebration/anticipation. Plus it will be a whole new thread. 3.5 decades of non-championship participation. Uffda. Staggering.

    It was not arbitrary. 1 team (Lions) have secured a #1 Seed in the past 10 seasons. That scores well in the more recent "should have"/"could have" credit. So superior in 2025 the Vikings canned their GM.
