Admittedly, Jordan isn’t known for being …1994 Collectors Choice Michael Jordan Up Close Silver Signature Card 635. Many MJ fans are fond of this card because it shows a particularly warm moment. But my heart? Well my stupid heart is still hoping for the most epic collapse in MLB history by the White Sox and the most spectacular worst-to-first story we’ll ever see.Michael jordan baseball card 10) 1995 Upper Deck Michael Jordan #200. And if we are really lucky, they’ll be finishing as high as third place in a really crappy division. My brain knows that they’ll be ending their season in Kansas City on October 3rd ( Mean Girls day!). My brain * knows* that the Twins won’t finish 2021 in the post season (in which they’d inevitably collapse). Dammit Nick Blackburn.) I’ve seen the Twins pull miracles out of their collective backsides time and time again. (I choose not to think about game 163 of the 2008 season. I remember bonus baseball in the form of game 163 of the 2009 season, and Gomez crossing the plate to get the Twins that division win. I remember watching the 2006 season go all the way to the final pitch of not only their own game 162, but also that of the Tigers, before the Twins clinched the AL Central. I’m old enough to remember both World Series wins. Why am I this way? I’d like to think it’s because of my age: At 42, I’m that perfect blend of jaded-sarcastic-apathetic-Gen Xer and optimistic you’re-doing-great-so-here’s-your-participation-trophy Millenial. Actual footage of the inside of my brain every time the Twins start doing well. ![]() I am Charlie Brown, and the Twins are Lucy holding that damn football. This is the tragedy of the 2021 season: Terrible baseball peppered with bright spots here and there, making me feel some sort of hope every few weeks. What if starting tomorrow, the Twins go on an Oakland A’s circa 2002 run and win 20 in a row? If they play well enough, they can gain some ground in the division while the White Sox hopefully drop some games against those tougher division teams before coasting their way through their easy-ish end of season schedule. Of those games, the Twins face Cleveland, Kansas City, and Detroit for a combined 16 games. ![]() Games Remaining: 47 #MagicNumber: 65- Twins Magic Number August 12, 2021 Twins take 2 out of 3 from the White Sox. And if Buxton comes back somewhere in that stretch? Boom! Magic! ![]() Never mind that the Brewers are sitting way on top of the NL Central and 4th in the all of Major League Baseball.” If the last week has taught us anything, it’s that the Twins are underestimated by these dominant teams and they (at the moment) have what it takes to compete. Never mind that the Red Sox are trying to keep that #2 Wild Card spot. Never mind that the Yankees own the Twins. they could maybe make up some ground! Never mind that Nelson Cruz is about to come home and hit bombas all over Target Field this weekend. But my rose colored glasses look at the last week and think “ hey. Sure, they’re 17 games out of first place, and sure, they’re about to play against the infinitely better Rays, Yankees, Red Sox, and Brewers. Coupled with the article I read on The Athletic yesterday in which Dan Hayes laid out the optimism of Buxton’s (hopefully any day now) return, I found myself, once again, somewhat enthusiastic toward my perpetually disappointing team. If you take out that shameful display of mismanagement and Bad News Bears-esque play, the Twins have looked really good over the last week. So naturally Rocco would select him to start against a team that had Eloy Jimenez returning to the lineup. Who? Beau Burrows was selected off waivers in June from Detroit, had 10 total games in the majors and an era in the double digits leading up to Monday’s matchup. Granted, we had that embarrassing blowout loss courtesy of a horrible mismatch of Sox ace Lucas Giolito and Beau Burrows as an opener on Monday. #TwinsWin | #MNTwins /wdeZejZJAi- Minnesota Twins August 11, 2021 ![]()
