Just who *IS* this Matt Wallner guy, anyway?
ever since all the tweeting and moaning that our pitching staff was toast they’ve allowed four runs in the last 27 innings
Twins Win!

Duran might be broken but nice dub boys
AND AFTER ALLLLLLL
YOU’RE MY WONDERWALLLLLNER
#TWINS: WIN
#TIGERS: LOSE
#MATT: MOTHER
#FUCKING: WALLNER

It’s really too bad that game was decided after the Cabrera homer, I quite enjoyed the last part of it
Royce returns and the Twins immediately use the power of immaculate vibes to beat the juggernaut Tigers.
*Huh*

I know I’m not a smart guy but I’ve watched a lot of baseball… and Duran has no idea where most of his pitches are going, right? I’m not crazy?

The Twins are now on pace to win 84 games.
Editorial: It’s always darkest before the dong.
Is Matt Wallner the greatest Forest Lake Ranger of All Time?
He’s finally giving something to google about Forest Lake other than Herb Brooks I suppose! RIP
PS, I lived there from ‘92-‘97. Where do I rank?
LOL, LaPanta.
Wallner’s HR was a _no-brainer_
Cant believe they kept wallner from us for so long
Hell yeah Wallner! what’s wrong with our boy Duran?
Where were you when Matt Wallner ended our tigers curse
Well that was a fun game to go to.
12 wins in a row for me now, with a poetic but eventually inconsequential Miggy homerun as the cherry on top
#OVER THE WALL(NER)
Is it wrong that I became a Twins fan, because of Oliva and Carew (I’m old for this sub), and I love Miggy. Nope. But I do own a Ray Smith bobblehead. So I’m good.

Just looked up head-to-head records. So far.
Tigers have series won-loss tiebreaker over the Twins, 7-5, with 1 yet to play.
CLE currently leads the Twins 4-3 games. With 6 yet to play.
Hope it doesnt come down to that.
Got to sit out by the garage, beautiful North Dakota sunset, an Oliva Serie V, children playing outdoors, and watch a Twins game. Honestly the best evening I’ve had in quite a long time!
