Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for an overwhelmingly positive episode of the podcast. They start with the Vikings, who improved to 2-0 with a statement victory over the 49ers. By winning 23-17 in a game that wasn't even as close as the score would indicate, the Vikings are proving Reusse correct. He liked them as a playoff team before the season started, but he was in the minority with that opinion. They could contend for an NFC North title in what might end up being just an OK division. The Twins saved their weekend by rallying from a 2-0 hole to defeat the Reds 9-2. Brooks Lee had two big hits, keeping Minnesota's lead in the wild card race at 2.5 games. Now they head out on a seven-game road trip to Cleveland and Boston. A big Pablo Lopez start looms Monday. And the Lynx scored a convincing win over WNBA-leading New York. Minnesota is still in the running for the league's top seed and solidified their hold on the No. 2 spot. That plus Saturday wins by the Gophers football team and Minnesota United made for quite a weekend.
