Since spring training, Minnesota Twins fans have been punished with the craptacular GB Leighton song “Twins Territory,” played during every Fox Sports Net game broadcast this season. The mute button on my TV remote control has never received so much attention.
Today, as our beloved team prepares for the playoffs, Twins fans finally have an anthem we can be proud of. The Baseball Project, a kick-ass “supergroup” featuring (the other) Steve Wynn, Peter Buck, Linda Pitmon and Scott McCaughey, have teamed up with The Hold Steady frontman and Minnesota Twins uberfan Craig Finn to record “Don’t Call Them Twinkies.”
Raise a toast to Kirby Puckett and enjoy.
So awesome that I don’t even mind the dig at my own team.
I don’t know, I think we really should wait and see what Prince comes up with.
A song just about as boring as the team that inspired it. The type of thing you’d hear on a hacky radio show like Stern.
Good one, Jack… I mean Troy… or is it Brad? Or Mark? Or @carniesandrubes?
Whatever fake name my favorite asshat Brewers fan is posting under this week.
People who don’t like this song don’t like joy.
The story behind the song, directly from Linda Pitmon and Craig Finn:

Michele, they also probably use Comic Sans.
