Kyle Sloter

I know he's a third string back-up QB for the Vikes, and he's playing against backups as well, but he's been the only guy worth watching this preseason for the Vikes.

The Vikes appear to have some great receivers and running backs. I'm just wondering how good the injured O Line will be in front of a high-priced QB that didn't  show much this preseason.

I guess we'll all know in a few days.

Twins Win!

ANY Twins win at this point is cause for celebration.

Go Twins!

Twins Clubbed

I tried to watch for awhile last night and then just quit. No entertainment value at this time at all.

Twins

Mauer passed Rod Carew on the Twins career hit list Friday night. He needed 500 more at bats (about a year's worth) to do it.

At 35, he's had one of his worst seasons this year. That includes missing a month with concussion problems.

I would like this to be his last season.

I don't even think he knows what he's going to do next year.

Twins Lose Third Straight

Thankfully, the season will be coming to end soon...

Twins Lose, But Sano Launches One

And I really liked the Twins' jerseys last night.

Vikings

The Vikings released kicker Kai Forbath this week, giving the job to rookie Daniel Carlson.

Carlson missed two 42 yard field goal attempts in the first half wide left.

The Vikes went on to win the game when backup QB Kyle Sloter threw a couple 4th quarter TDs.

At least they looked better than last week. AND Seattle kept their starters in into the third quarter.

I hate new kickers and new QBs after a great season.

A lot depends on how the new guys perform. If they're bad, there's not going to be much of a season.

The Twins played as expected last night losing 7-1.
