Major sports news today

Randy Johnson needs to have his self-esteem boosted by congratulations from me. First, for pitching a perfect game and second, for being 40 when he did it. I'm a big fan of 40-year-olds proving that we can still do IT.

The Timberwolves look fired up for the big game seven of the... What the h is this series called. Here's a shocking quote:

Garnett will be on the Target Center floor with his teammates trying to defeat the Sacramento Kings in Game Seven of the Western Conference semifinals.


You'd think he'd be fined and suspended after all those gun comments the other day. Get your panties on straight you easily offended people.

This is the first time in 13 years that a Minnesota sports team will play the deciding game of a playoff series at home. The last time was 1991 when the Twins won the World Series at home.


That was when Super Jack Morris pitched the greatest game I've ever seen: the ten-inning 1-0 shutout of the Atlanta Braves. Tears still come to my eyes when I think of it. Manager Tom Kelly said, after the game, that when Morris insisted on going back for the tenth inning, he told him, "What the hell! It's only a game!"
