First-year MLBer Kazuma Okamoto put some hurtin’ on Simeon Woods-Richardson, the Twins threw too many outs and chances away. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: George Springer with the leadoff single, and a good cheer comes through on the radio. So, as usual, there’s a lotta Jays fans at TF. Who in my experience are basically the nicest […]
Jays 7 Twins 3 Kazuma Okamoto had a slow start to the season, but he’s picked things up lately. Today he had 2 home runs, a walk, 3 runs and 3 RBI. 31 games into his MLB career he has 7 home runs, and 18 RBI. And, unlike yesterday, the pitching was good and the […]
The San Antonio Spurs had relatively little trouble disposing of the Portland Trail Blazers in their recent best-of-seven, first-round NBA Playoffs series. San Antonio won the matchup 4-1. They’re now on their way to face the severely-injured Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round while Portland heads into a summer of retooling and evolution. As it […]
Game two of the series with the Twins, where it is 12C today. It has to be a better game than yesterday’s, right? Ernie Clement gets his first day off of the season. Lineups: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS TWINS George Springer – DH Byron Buxton – CF Jesus Sanchez – RF Austin Martin – RF […]
Time: 7:10 Central Weather: Partly cloudy, 52° Opponent’s SB site: Bluebird Banter Radio: Gets louder after 8PM Tonight’s Blue Jays hurler is Patrick Corbin, who in 2018 signed a six year, $140 million contract with Washington, and boy did they get hosed; an ERA of 5.11 and WAR of 2.8. He was slightly better in […]
The Dallas Stars' postseason run came to a quick and disappointing end, as they lost their first-round series against the Minnesota Wild in six games. Now, the Stars are entering the summer with plenty of questions. One of the Stars' biggest roster needs is another top-four right-shot defenseman. Due to this, let's look at three right-shot defensemen who could end up being on Dallas' radar this offseason. Rasmus Andersson If Rasmus Andersson ends up hitting the free-agent market th...
It’s only fitting that Quinn Hughes scored the opening goal in the Minnesota Wild’s decisive Game 6 victory, then scored the go-ahead goal in the third. The score will read 5-2 with Matt Boldy scoring the final two goals on empty nets. However, Hughes’ wily tally in the third put the Wild in the lea...
No Anthony Edwards. No Donte DiVincenzo. No Ayo Dosunmu. No Kyle Anderson. Didn’t matter. The Minnesota Timberwolves eliminated the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night in Game 6, 110-98, in a game that spoke volumes about the culture within each organization. The Timberwolves faced hardships at multiple points in this series and overcame them all. The […]
The Jauan Jennings Watch continues. He visited for a couple of days and left town without a deal but negotiations are reportedly ongoing. There are no reports (yet) of him going to visit another team. The Seahawks, Raiders, Dolphins, and Commanders are all thought to be possibilities. The Seahawks have Jackson Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, and […]
Every year, the lead-up to the draft feels like it takes forever. Then, draft weekend arrives, and the three-day process flies by in the blink of an eye. The 2026 NFL Draft was no different, and for all four teams in the NFC North, the emphasis on improving and separating themselves from the other teams […]
Nickeil Alexander-Walker’s inconsistency resurfaced at the worst possible time for Atlanta. Minnesota fans have seen this story unfold before.
One week after the 2026 NFL Draft, The Real Forno Show breaks down Minnesota Vikings overreactions and why Jake Golday is the perfect Brian Flores linebacker. Tyler Forness and Dave Stefano deliver sharp film analysis on the Vikings’ draft class, Caleb Banks reach, Blake Brandel at center, no WR selected, and Jauan Jennings timing in […]
For a brief, hopeful moment in the early goings of 2016, it looked like the Minnesota Twins might be able to dig themselves out of their 0-9 hole. Four consecutive victories—a sweep of the Angels and a win over the Brew Crew—harbored hope for a comeback. Byung-Ho was launching massive Park-bangs and even professional wrestlers […]
It wasn’t a good day for the Brotherhood Thursday in the NBA playoffs. Jayson Tatum and Boston lost to Philadelphia, 106-93. That series is now tied 3-3. Minnesota eliminated Tyus Jones and the Denver Nuggets with a 110-98 win in Game 6. And New York eliminated Atlanta, also in Game 6, but this was more […]
That's Wild
THEY DID IT! The Minnesota Wild have won their first-round playoff series against the Dallas Stars in just six games after a controlling 5-2 win on Thursday night. The series was full of highs and lows and it looked for a brief moment that it was going to be stretched to seven and t...
Quinn Hughes scored a pair of goals, including the game-winner, and had an assist, and the Minnesota Wild eliminated the Dallas Stars with a rousing 5-2 victory in Game 6 at Grand Casino Arena in Saint Paul. It was Minnesota’s first postseason series win since 2015. Former Florida Panther Vladimir Tarasenko and Matt Boldy also scored for the Wild, who got 21 saves from goaltender Jesper Wallstadt. Minnesota will take on the Colorado Avalanche next.

The Quinn Hughes trade gave the Minnesota Wild unprecedented optimism heading into the postseason. Finally, the team had the big-name starpower to take on all comers, or at least, in theory. There was still the tricky matter of, you know, getting out of the first round for the first time since 2015,...
Jaden McDaniels will forever be a mainstay in Minnesota Timberwolves lore. He could miss every shot for the rest of the playoffs. His series against the Denver Nuggets will be remembered by everyone. After game five, the former Washington Husky sat at the podium to face questions after a shaky game. His team down their […]

They will face the Spurs on Monday in the first game of the Western Conference Semifinals. The Timberwolves had an up-and-down season but had ample playoff […]
This one hurts

WE ALWAYS KNEW TSJ WAS THIS GOOD. WHY DID NOBODY LISTEN???? I could’ve told you two years ago that Minnesota was getting a steal when it took Terrence Shannon Jr. late in the first round of the NBA Draft. And for the second year in a row, he’s showing out in the postseason. With Anthony […]
The Twins finally found the solution to their bullpen: just score enough that they can’t ruin it. Byron Buxton did everything he could, and this time, the rest of the lineup was able to deliver the key hits they’ve been lacking these past two weeks. It was a pitcher’s duel early, with both teams only […]
Blue Jays 1 Twins 7 That was awful in a lot of ways. The offense was sad, just six hits, only one an extra base hit, Daulton Varsho’s fourth of the season. It was good to see, because he’s looked lost at the plate. George Springer had two singles. Vlad, Clement, and Valenzuela had one […]
The Dallas Stars and Minnesota Wild first-round series has been a competitive matchup in the Western Conference. With Jesper Wallstedt in the net and a deep forward group, the Wild have maintained their composure, unlike Jamie Benn. The Stars would trail the Wild for the majority of game five, as a goal scored by fourth-line forward Michael McCaron would put the team two goals ahead, 3-1, in the third. Tensions would boil over, as Benn cross-checked Ryan Hartman first in the ribs, and t...
