The peak of Evan Longoria’s career may be a distant memory, but that doesn’t at all mean the four-time All-Star is a liability on the diamond.

It’s October 3rd, as fans of the cult classic comedy Mean Girls have been reminding the internet all day long.
But for the Twins, the day proved to grow into something so much more.
For the first time in 19 years, Minnesota won a playoff game with a 3–1 victory over the Blue Jays on Tuesday in Game 1 of the American League wild-card series. The win marked the club’s first in the postseason since Oct. 5, 2004, snapping the longest streak of playoff futility in North American sports history.
Joe Mauer sent a text on Tuesday morning to Twins rookie Royce Lewis. Take it all in, the Minnesota icon advised the 24-year-old third baseman and designated hitter.
“He said that’s one thing he would do is take it in and don’t regret the moment you’re in,” Lewis told reporters afterward. “And so that’s what I did.”
He certainly did: Lewis hit two home runs to lead the Twins to a 3–1 victory over the Blue Jays in Game 1 of the American League wild-card series. It was Lewis’s first career playoff appearance and his first time homering twice in one game.
The Twins snapped their record 18-game playoff losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Blue Jays in Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series.

Facing heavy criticism following his poor performance against Seattle on Monday Night Football, Giants quarterback Daniel Jones oddly found support from a bitter NFC East rival.
Jones, who threw two interceptions, including one that was returned 97-yards for a touchdown, was under siege the entire game due to abysmal play of New York’s offensive line. The franchise is being bashed for their decision to extend the fifth-year signal-caller with an $160 million deal instead of signing star running back Saquon Barkley to a long-term deal.
Wendy Lowe, 56, saw her sons play against each other in MLB for the first time in June.
In one of the most harrowing events in America’s broken society, an 11-year-old boy faces one count of second-degree attempted murder after shooting two youth football teammates during a dispute. TMZ released the video.
The incident took place Monday evening in Apopka, FL. at 8:30 p.m. After the trio’s Pop Warner football practice, the 11-year-old boy was involved in a dispute with two 13-year-old boys outside of Northwest Recreation Complex.
