Twins parting ways with WCCO?

I read somewhere last week that the Twins are going to be switching to KSTP next year. This will be the first time in the Twins history that they have not been broadcast by WCCO. I would have to hope that they would be able to retain the same announcers (Gordan, Carneil) that are the voice of Twins baseball. I hope that if this all goes through it works out better than the flop of an idea Pohland had with Victory Sports. By that I mean, I don't know if KSTP will have the coverage to rural Minnesota like WCCO has. Time will tell.

It's fine with me...as long as they keep Gladden and Gordo doing most of the play by play. I love listening to those guys when I'm on the road. From what I read today, it seems like they'll still be around.

I don't know about you-- but when I think Twins Baseball-- I think GORDO!!! I can't imagine a game called on radio without him. Living out of the TV market for most Twins games-- all I get is staticky CCO' or a weak signal from Yankton SD down here in IA. Either way-- I love hearing --- "Radke, KICKS or (ROCKS) AND FIRES"- "SWING AND MISS-- HE STRUCK HIM OUT." on pitches--- "HIGH" or "Hit' em" with that high pitched voice. But his call to fame is---- ---"swings and DEEP FLY BALL RIGHT FIELD,, WAY BACK, WAY BACK,,,, TOUCH EM' ALL Justin Morneau,, another Cambria homerun!!!!

Gordo is one of the best in the business.

I think the announcers are employees of the Twins; not the radio stations. They should stick around. Not too sure about Gordon, though...more than a couple of times I've heard his call go "swiiiiing and a miss, he struck him out lookin'..."

I find it comical when Gordon sends out a happy birthday between pitches. It always seems like the person is having their 90-something birthday and they have been a Twins fan for 45 years. smirk.gif

probably so-- but when Gordo screws up the name of the town -- case in point years ago PLY-mouth MN, and the name of the person to boot, (you know he butchered it) it's something to laugh at. Gordo is one for the ages. I hope he and the currrent crew stay together and on the air.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
