Twins parting ways with WCCO?

I read somewhere last week that the Twins are going to be switching to KSTP next year. This will be the first time in the Twins history that they have not been broadcast by WCCO. I would have to hope that they would be able to retain the same announcers (Gordan, Carneil) that are the voice of Twins baseball. I hope that if this all goes through it works out better than the flop of an idea Pohland had with Victory Sports. By that I mean, I don't know if KSTP will have the coverage to rural Minnesota like WCCO has. Time will tell.

Look at it this way....no more interuptions for storm warnings in everypart of the state. And KSTP has feeders throughout the state.

It's fine with me...as long as they keep Gladden and Gordo doing most of the play by play. I love listening to those guys when I'm on the road. From what I read today, it seems like they'll still be around.

I don't know about you-- but when I think Twins Baseball-- I think GORDO!!! I can't imagine a game called on radio without him. Living out of the TV market for most Twins games-- all I get is staticky CCO' or a weak signal from Yankton SD down here in IA. Either way-- I love hearing --- "Radke, KICKS or (ROCKS) AND FIRES"- "SWING AND MISS-- HE STRUCK HIM OUT." on pitches--- "HIGH" or "Hit' em" with that high pitched voice. But his call to fame is---- ---"swings and DEEP FLY BALL RIGHT FIELD,, WAY BACK, WAY BACK,,,, TOUCH EM' ALL Justin Morneau,, another Cambria homerun!!!!

Gordo is one of the best in the business.

It sounds like they still will be keeping the same personalities, just changing stations. So Gordo, Dazzle, Blackjack, and Herb will still be around.

I think the announcers are employees of the Twins; not the radio stations. They should stick around. Not too sure about Gordon, though...more than a couple of times I've heard his call go "swiiiiing and a miss, he struck him out lookin'..."

They will be with kstp. They are employees of the Twins. The only thing that will change will the the pre-post game shows.

I find it comical when Gordon sends out a happy birthday between pitches. It always seems like the person is having their 90-something birthday and they have been a Twins fan for 45 years. smirk.gif

probably so-- but when Gordo screws up the name of the town -- case in point years ago PLY-mouth MN, and the name of the person to boot, (you know he butchered it) it's something to laugh at. Gordo is one for the ages. I hope he and the currrent crew stay together and on the air.

      Running on empty at dark on a sled is definitely stress-inducing. Been there, done that. Glad that you made it out.

      Eagle swoops are always a hoot to watch.   The snow is mostly gone on the lake. Ice melt made things pretty wet but the ice is obviously still very thick.

      Ice Conditions Still Good

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the South Shore...  The big question:  "How is the ice up at Lake of the Woods?"  That is for each individual resort or outfitter who operates an ice road or trail to answer, but overall, ice conditions are still very good and ice fishing is going strong!  As always, stay on the marked ice  roads and trails for safety.     Being up on the Canadian border, the colder temps Lake of the Woods enjoys vs much of the region combined with three feet of ice makes a big difference.  Fish houses are allowed unattended overnight through March 31st and it sounds like a good number of resorts will be fishing through the month, but ultimately, Mother Nature will determine that.     Regarding the fishing, overall, very good reports for walleyes, saugers and perch.  There is a strong population of smaller walleyes and saugers in the lake which bodes well for the future, but in the meantime, anglers are sorting through them to catch their keepers.   The one-two punch of jigging and deadsticking remains the most effective technique. Jigging spoons with rattles tipped with a minnow head or a lipless crankbait on the jigging line is the ticket.  On the deadstick, a live minnow a foot off the bottom on a plain red hook or medium sized ice fishing jig is catching a lot of fish.   Using electronics is super helpful.  Many nice walleyes are swimming through suspended, keep an eye out.   Anglers tip-up fishing for pike have had a great week and it should continue to get even better.  Suckers, frozen alewife and smelt are working well. Putting baits 1 foot under the ice or right off bottom seems to be effective this week.  Most common depths, 9 - 15 feet. On the Rainy River...  The Rain River is still frozen with no signs of open water yet.  Every year can be different, but on average, the Rainy River will start opening up around the third week of March.  The first boat ramp suitable for larger boats is Nelson Park in Birchdale.  We will keep you posted.    As of March 1st, walleyes and saugers are catch and release only on Four Mile Bay and the Rainy River.     Make plans now for sturgeon season.  Once the open water appears, the fish are super active.  Here are the seasons...   -Catch and Release Season: May 8th – May 15th and October 1 – April 23rd. -Harvest Season: April 24th – May 7th and July 1 – September 30. -Closed Season: May 16th – June 30th.  Up at the Northwest Angle...  Fishing remains very good up at the Angle and the ice is in good shape as well.  As on the south end, resorts monitor ice roads and trails daily and there are still some great ice fishing opportunities available.     Walleyes, saugers, perch, and pike are showing up in good numbers.  Those targeting crappies are reporting good numbers of fish.  Work through a NW Angle resort for ice fishing opportunities on this part of the lake. The walleye and sauger season is open through April 14th. Pike fishing never closes, and perch and crappie remain open year-round as well. Whether booking a day house rental, sleeper fish house, or resort stay, there is still plenty of time to plan a late-season ice fishing adventure.

      Looks like a shallow lake with some potential.  Keepable crappies, decent bluegills and some nice perch according to the last survey (2015). Susan Lake   With a max depth of 10 feet, I’d want to know a little more about it before I’d start drilling holes.  Could be a nice little adventure though.

      Jeff and I fished Saturday and half day Sunday, targeting whitefish, ciscos, crappies, and perch.  The bite was tough for us.  We ecked out a few, but nothing special.  Highlight of the weekend was the sled ride into Wolf Lake and having an eagle swoop in and eat a rock bass we had on the ice.  All in all, not a bad way to waste time.
