Through the last 30 games, the team that many reportedly picked to win another division title and who has a $125 million payroll, has lost 19 games and only won 11. This is the second worst record in all of baseball.
After the loss on Thursday, May 6th, the Twins have played a total of seven extra inning games so far this season and lost in all of them, which also has not happened to any MLB team in the last 100 years. The team has only scored one run in the 9th inning all season.
It seems that politics have made their way into the 2021 MLB season with the franchise starting the year by positioning themselves on the varying issues causing civil unrest across the country.
The franchise posted different social justice signs on Target Field’s walls, with some of them saying, “End Racism” and “Justice for George Floyd.” On April 12th, the Twins chose to cancel an afternoon game in response to a Brooklyn Center shooting. Fans were irate.

I agree. Some soccer teams have wised up and put their stadiums in the burbs. I’m waiting for them to be accused of being racist. Of course, the sports stadium racket is a payoff to big city mayors and the chamber of commerce types.
I’m afraid you are probably right.
Trump curse in there somewhere ....
Ha, ha, yes!
Being woke is a sincere lack in cognitive skills and zero knowledge in history, economics and current events.
Simple statement but covers it all.
For putting and keeping a Demonicrat kakistocracy in power, those Minneapolis inhabitants deserve to rot.
Correct. Who would willingly put themselves in a situation where the city government will not only avoid protecting you, they actively sided with rioters and arsonists?
Public venues that aren't situated like a gated compound direct from a highway to a parking lot are going to suffer and even those accessible from the highway will suffer if the hordes can take over the roadway.
The Minnesota Twins have two options; relocate to a new stadium outside the ArsonRiotCity limits or go out of business.
Baseball fans skew older and white bread, too. Support of BLM Marxists is pretty much a recipe for disaster in the making for MLB. Too bad.
MLB spelled backwards is.......
Sigh; Tony Oliva, Harmon Killibrew, Rod Carew, Zolio Versalles, and even farther back in franchise history Walter Johnson, and now it has come to this.
MLB is blm backerrds.
NASCAR taking a deserved nosedive too- for the same reason
Sadly though htere will likely be just enough unprincipled people attending to just barely keep the sports that went woke going-
I used to be a nascar nut but haven’t watched a race or paid any attention to them since bubba cause a stink over a garage door loop..
Screw ‘em..
Yep- same here- He did way more than that though- and NASCAR fully jumped the blm shark- now they kneel during anthem- display blm logos etc- and they are constantly pushing bubba into the public spotlight every chance they get.
F-1 is getting just as bad almost-
What i do is tape all the old races- the classics- way better anyways- no stupid mandatory cautions- no sectional racing where the race is split up into 3 sections- just good old fashioned racing-
So where is this systemic racism? 60+% of all TV commercials feature blacks. Most major companies/sports teams perform some sort of BLM fellatio on a daily basis. Tell me exactly how oppression is defined?
Sigh; Tony Oliva, Harmon Killibrew, Rod Carew, Zolio Versalles, and even farther back in franchise history Walter Johnson, and now it has come to this.
Agree. I got an autograph from Tony Oliva as a kid at the stadium. Great guy who spent a few minutes talking to me. Harmon was doing TV and blew me off that day. Totally ignored me standing there. I’m still a fan of his but that definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. Rod Carew was my first sports hero as a kid and a family friend got a signed ball for me. Twins have had some great players...
