Once again, Twins fans and Minnesota sports fans can't have nice things — or at least, any nice thing to last.

That's likely what many thought last night as ace pitcher Pablo Lopez left during the middle of another solid outing with shoulder pain that turned out to be a strained lat muscle that will likely put him on the injured list.

But instead of woe-is-me, Happy Hour host John Gaskins says Twins fans should be feeling rather fortunate these days, at least when you look at other teams swimming in their mid/small market pool, like two of their opponents are the current road trip.

Meanwhile, an FCS school announced it is leaving its conference, which leaves experts to speculate how giant of a domino this will be to fall, potentially leading to expansion in both the Missouri Valley Football Conference and the Summit League.

Plus, a day after Minnesota Vikings icon Jim Marshall died, more epic stories from those who knew him well are pouring out. John lists some of his favorites, in case you missed them.
