That ends a two game slide.
They are now one game below .500.

Twins
"Buxton looks to rebound after frustrating season."
That was the headline 4 days ago at ESPN.
The problem is, that's been the headline at ESPN for Buxton for FOUR straight seasons.
Is it just more probable that Buxton isn't any good?
Great speed and defense is one thing. Being a great hitter is something else. And staying healthy is also an intangible he doesn't seem to possess.
Byron Buxton is not Kirby Puckett. He reminds me more of Billy Beane.
Lots of potential, but the numbers after a while, just don't lie.
How many more frustrating seasons are the Twins going to support him?

WWE
WWE just had one of their major PPV weekends.
NXT Takeover was Saturday. As always it was spectacular. 2 3/4 hours of fast paced amazing action.
The Royal Rumble was Sunday. Seven hours of mostly snooze inducing sameness.
Sure there were moments, but I'm guessing I wasn't the only person going to bed before the main event. Everybody KNEW Seth Rollins was the new chosen one, and "surprise" he won the Rumble.
Vince isn't interested in his supposed shake-up. He just wants to keep doing it the same boring way, hoping we won't notice.
And because of NXT being so good, I simply go along with it.
Sigh, I'm part of the problem and I don't know what to do about it.

Wolves .500!
Beating the Lakers at L.A. would normally be a big deal, but without LeBron, they really aren't any good. We're 24-24 on the season. They're 25-24.
It's hard to believe I'm this interested in an average Wolves team. But, and I say it again, average is way better than normal for this franchise.
Go Wolves!
