Sports nut!

      The Minnesota Twins and the Minnesota Lynx of the WNBA were playing at the same time. What to do? The Lynx come first in my priorities but there was a solution. Watch the Lynx via live stream on the computer while the Twins play on TV. Yup, that was the scenario.

     It was a pre-season exhibition game for the Lynx and historic. It was the first WNBA game played in Canada and was held in Toronto.  Even though it was an exhibition game the 20,000 seat arena sold out in minutes. The Lynx have two Canadian players Carleton and Achonwa, which may be a reason that they were chosen to play in Canada

   The first half of the game was a bit ragged with neither team shooting very well. That turned around in the 2nd half. For some reason Napheesa Collier, the Lynx star didn't play. The three rookies the Lynx took high in the draft, Miller, Juhasz and Soule all looked good.. The final score Chicago 84, Minnesota 72.

     Meanwhile the Twins came out of their batting sump...thirteen hits! Seriously! Oh yes, five home runs. They defeated the Chicago Cubs 11-1.

Takk for alt,

PS The new rules instituted in MLB this year, speeding it up, this year makes the game much more watchable,
