WGOM
A place for Minnesota Twins fans who also happen to be witty, bookish foodies with excellent (or at least unique) tastes in beer, music, and movies.
The Wild did win on Tuesday, so that kind of ruins the title, but that's okay.It's been awhile, friends, but we're back (at least for the next quarter to half year). DG, DK, and hj kept our focus on the Wild, the changes behind the bench, and the issues with those on the bench. We start with the beginning of the season, the miserable start, and the circumstances leading to the removal of Dean Evanson (which is still very hard for hj not to pronounce as "Evanston"). Next, we take a look at his replacement and feel wanting. Then we go further up the ladder and try to decide if we grudgingly respect Bill Guerin or just respectfully grudgen him. We even close with a little bit of light through the clouds. Please mash that subscribe button and enjoy.
Hola, amigos. We know it's been a long time since we rapped at ya, but we're happy to be back. We kept things brief this time, but packed in a lot of topics:
-A discussion of some of the food faceoffs on the site recently -Quick fantasy update -A look at the season so far -Surprising players, both on the good and bad side -What the Twins will need to finish the year
Put it in your ear holes, gang!
Well, there's certainly been a flurry (not "Fleury") of activity on the Twins' 40 man. First, we pause a bit to reflect on the state of the Wild season, then dive into the Arraez trade. We were about to wind things down, but then news of the Taylor trade came in and Nibbish ran across town to discuss that trade with us.

Hey, gang. Things seemed to turn from partly cloudy to partly sunny since we last rapped with you, but the Twins struck a number of surprising, but seemingly solid moves. Recorded on the night of, this episode we discuss the acquisition of:
-Jorge López -Tyler Mahle -Hitting stud Sandy León -Michael Fulmer
We also discuss other moves around the league, the plundering of the Twins 2021 draft class, and the likely end of Miguel Sanó in a Twins uniform. Enjoy, friends!
We're (well, some of us) are back!
We kept our focus on the Twins. Here are our topics!
-For discussion: Which shower beer goes best with your shower Reuben? -The bullpen, such as it is. -The rotation: it's not bad! -The lineup: Also not bad (Do the All Star managers still get to pick players?) -Wait, are we actually a little optimistic about the Twins!?
Also, some video picks! Orville Peck - C'mon Baby, Cry Nation of Language - Across That Fine Line
Sorry it took awhile to get this out, gang. Some of the info is a little stale, but be sure it was hard hitting and insanely on point at the time.
Anyway, to complete the 12th(!) chapter of our humble little podcasf, we take a look at the Wild's season and a look ahead at their postseason.
Also, it's been awhile, so we go over some recent videos: (Go ahead and give a vote if you haven't already)
Cherry Glazerr – Time to Get Away Snail Mail – Glory Rodrigo y Gabriela - Mettavolution Le Tigre – TKO
Enjoy! We hope to have a good reason to come back to you soon.
Hey, gang, it's been awhile since we rapped at you. Spring is soon approaching and things are... looking cautiously optimistic for Minnesota sports teams?
A lot has happened in a short time. In this (half) episode, we delve deep into the storied history of 2022. First we take a quick look at the CBA agreement and then go through a second by second recap of that fateful mid-March weekend (as well as the other recent signings).
We'll have Part II out before long (featuring a look at the Wild), but we wanted to get this out before the hot stove overtakes our takes. Enjoy!
Yes! Got it in before the lockout!*
Wow, the game of baseball can (very occasionally) move fast. We recorded this over Monday and Tuesday night and well over three quarters of this is definitely old news. The WGOMPTHBP, your home for breaking news several days after it happened (and punched mouth noises).
Anyway, DK, DG, N**, and HJ (me) at different times and spaces all get together to discuss the Wolves (well, that one game)! The Gophers (would that it was)! The Vikings (passingly)! The Wild (okay, we talk about the Wild for awhile)! And throughout there's a lot Twins talk with much celebration of the Buxton extension and discussion of a certain pitching strategy that WE TOTALLY STARTED TALKING ABOUT BEFORE ANYONE ELSE AND HAVE THE RECEIPTS TO PROVE IT!
- Technically not true as this was posted in the early Friday morning CST hours ** "N" means nibbish. I just did that for the sake of continuity. Maybe he should add an extra word to his handle so I can initialize it.
