Twinkie Town Talk: The Twins won because of you

Previously on TwinkleTown:

• Brandon recapped the Twins winning yet another game. Ahaha, are other teams even trying? The Twins keep winning so much it is making me act obnoxious online about it.
• That’s it.

Fan-Post Roundup:

• Minnesconsinite got his poet beret, sunglasses, and single hand drum out for an ode to the 2016 Twins. Worth it alone for remembering Danny Santana existed.
• Asthix confesses to some of his superstitions that have obviously helped the Twins win through witch magic and the power of suggestion.
• Speaking of superstitions: One of my earliest vivid memories is of my mom with a rally sock haphazardly draped over her head, bouncing me on her knee singing “Who’s gonna win, gonna win, gonna win? We’re gonna win, gonna win, gonna win. Who’s gonna win? We’re gonna win. Twins, Twins, Twins.” over and over like every 9th inning of a close game. I also just now realized I must have been like 10 or 11 and that feels embarrassingly old for that.
• Anyway my mom is the best.

Elsewhere in Twins Territory:

• Continuing with the superstition theme, some guy who owns a bar with a Twins shrine thinks the shrine is partially to thank for the team’s blistering success. Yeah, why not? You ever think it is kinda weird how a few hundred years ago we were burning pagans for being witches, but now we just set up shrines to varying sports gods all willy nilly?
• Do-Hyoung Park talks about the Twins being on pace for 327 dingerdoodles this year, which according to my notes is apparently a lot.
• You know the Twins beat on the Angels real hard when the LA Times bothers to acknowledge our existence, let alone describe how the team is for real.

Around the World in Bases and Balls

• Sign Dallas Keuchel and Craig Kimbrel you cowards!
• The Mets signed Johan Ervin Santana. Real cool guy, hope his career gets back on track.

What are your favorite non-TwinkieTown, be they Twins focused or more general, baseball sites/publications? (I’m actually just selfish and I need to find new sites to trawl for link dump fodder.)
