Among all-time worst Twins losses, Wednesday s game is up there There are a lot of ways to define worst, but I think we can agree that Wednesday s 13-12 loss feels like it belongs with some all-timers in Twins history. April 22, 2021 9:55am Text size Copy shortlink:
Because this is a family blog, I cannot print in its entirety what I shouted at the conclusion of Wednesday s Twins game. It did contain the words, Are you kidding me? and maybe a couple others.
Yep, the 13-12 loss to Oakland was one of those games. It was an all-timer one that leaves fans scratching their heads, then pulling out their hair. Years from now, when the Twins lose another game in excruciating fashion, you will remember Wednesday s game as a point of comparison and might think: Yeah, that game against Oakland was worse.
Bill Magness, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas CEO who was terminated by his board Wednesday, said he will not accept more than $800,000 in severance pay, according to an ERCOT spokesperson.
The board for the nonprofit entity that operates and manages the electricity grid that covers much of Texas voted Wednesday in favor of his 60-day termination notice.
Magness was terminated without cause, a spokesperson said. According to the terms of his employment contract, his severance pay would have been equivalent to one year of his current base salary, which is more than $800,000.
Both ERCOT and the Public Utility Commission of Texas, the regulatory body that oversees it, have been lambasted in recent weeks for failures in preparing for and responding to the winter storm that left millions of people in the dark for days and claimed the lives of dozens of Texans.
