The Morning News with Vineeta Sawkar

On the back of an impressive debut from Zebby Matthews, the Minnesota Twins took another win over Kansas City last night in dominant fashion - we talked to Henry Lake about that and got his thoughts on J.J. McCarthy officially sidelined with a torn meniscus as the wait for the timetable begins!

One of the crowning moments in Olympic history, especially here in Minnesota is the 1980 Miracle on Ice team - we talked to former 1980 Team USA hockey legend Bill Baker about an event where fans and listeners alike can meet members of that team and other NHL legends this weekend at Jordan Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens this coming Sunday - raising money towards mental health in remembrance of Mark Pavelich who took his own life. 

News broke officially yesterday that Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy has a torn meniscus and will require surgery but what exactly does that mean as far as defining a meniscus tear? We talked to Dr. Brad Nelson of TRIA Orthopedics about the different degrees of the injury and what recovery looks like for something like that!

For today’s salute we talked to Lindsay Boyd, General Manager for JLL/Union Depot about new additions coming to Union Depot and even a holiday addition to the area making it a must stop for any and all travelers!

This year's primary elections are in the books and we talked to Blois Olson about that including Ilhan Omar surpassing Don Samuels, Royce White not allowing Star Tribune at HQ - that and much more with Blois in this mornings take! 

A memorable night for Twins prospect Zebby Matthews getting his first career start - we recap the win, his performance and even play back some audio of him getting the call up to the big leagues!

Do you wish you would have left at some point?   We talked it over with Adam Carter on The WCCO Morning News. 

Mark Genosky is the Pre and Post game host on The Treasure Island Baseball Network and he talked with Vineeta today about our favorite team, on the WCCO Morning News. 

Two differing views from two well known members.   Andy Brehm and Michael Brodkorb both call themselves Republicans but will be voting differently in November.

Why?

Listen to this fascinating conversation. 

Laura Mitchell from Our Streets is fighting back against the stereotype that the city is a "Hell Hole."   She joined Vineeta on The WCCO Morning News with Vineeta Sawkar.
