Cape Verde centre back Roberto 'Pico' Lopes has spent his entire career in Ireland, ignored a LinkedIn message from Cape Verde FA asking him to play for them because it was in Portuguese. A year later, they sent it in English. He accepted. An all-time great World Cup story.

Great stuff on the Hurricanes celebration from @RussoHockey and @reporterchris. Loved that K'Andre Miller mentioned he hopes his newborn son will fit in the Cup.

Pretty solid effort from Spain against a team that's been unbeatable in World Cup play all time.

New @TwinCitiesShow with @DanHayesMLB and @TheDoof13: #MNTwins win a wild series vs. STL, Buck/Royce absolutely raking, Taj rebounds, Dan might buy a $1,400 World Cup ticket, and more.

Plenty to read in #MNTwins thoughts:
— Why Sun was big for Taj Bradley
— What’s up w/ Kaelen Culpepper
— Royce Lewis smooth at 1B
— Why Ryan Kreidler should play more SS
— What Shelton said to Keaschall about the late sub Fri.

NHL teams with a chance to clinch the Stanley Cup in Las Vegas, all time: 3 wins, 0 losses.
There must be some extra motivation to get the celebration going there.

Stop me if you've heard this one recently. Royce Lewis with a solo homer, his third since returning. He's comfortable at the plate, friends. It's real. More on it here. #MNTwins

Royce Lewis’s reset provided him comfort and confidence at the plate he’s sought for a long time. He detailed what he’s found before a chaotic 9-8 #MNTwins victory, demonstrating it once again throughout the night.

Royce Lewis is back. #MNTwins tie it on his solo homer in the eighth.

It’s hard to see anyone beating the United States in this tournament.

"I would just rather you keep trying the way that you are, that is perfect."
@TheDoof13 explains how Byron Buxton's welcoming of criticism fits his character.

New @TwinCitiesShow with @DanHayesMLB and @TheDoof13: Royce looked good, but #MNTwins lose 2 of 3 in Detroit. Byron Buxton heard our RISP trash talk and promptly hit a 3-run HR, and more.

Though he’s having an All-Star season, Byron Buxton thinks about his struggles with runners in scoring position “all the time.” He keyed a Weds win with a 3-run homer. #MNTwins

I’m on vacation, watching the game on my phone by the fire. It’s halftime. A woman walks by, tells me it’s over. Why am I bothering?! Enjoy time with my family, she says. Yeah, well … I’ve got to make it up to my kids tomorrow.

You all can criticize the Timberwolves all you want, but they’ve never blown a 29-point lead in the NBA Finals.

I didn’t fully appreciate the Knicks win until the several shots of Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld celebrating. That really hit home and put it in context.
