We won't spoil it for you!

[yeszir]

This is the David Ortiz breakout game, guys. He won't strike out once today.

[riverside sluggers]

Twins

Span CF

Hudson 2B

Mauer C

Morneau 1B

Cuddyer RF

Thome DH

Kubel LF

Hardy SS

Punto 3B

 

Pitching: LHP Francisco Liriano.

[VA Sox Fan]

As excruciating as the Twins radio announcers are (but still not as bad as Sterling/WaldMAN) I'll be listening at work on XM/Sirius.

[Spudboy]

I just don't get the whole lefty-righty thing.

 

Hall instead of Hirmida? One is hot, the other is not.

 

Is Hirmida so bad against lefties that it would justify starting a guy that hits .220?

[riverside sluggers]

Nope Hermida will actually play haha, damn number of lineup changes today

 

Mike Cameron was scratched from Thursday's lineup due to a lower abdominal strain.

Bill Hall will slide over to center field and bat eighth while Jeremy Hermida will bat ninth and play left field.

[TheMino007]

Happy Jackie robinson day. Hope everyone is wearing their mo Vaughn jersey

 

I always have my Mo Vaughn jersey near me at all times

[yeszir]

I've got mlb.tv open. I'm ready.

[yeszir]

4 consecutive day games is asburd.

 

Wake hasn't won against the Twins in an even numbered year since 2002 you say Don? Who cares?

[yeszir]

Man Pedroia is a beast. 9 for his last 17.

[yeszir]

Alright, first inning offense. I can get behind this.

[Spudboy]

Is it me or do the batter's boxes look crooked?

 

Sox have something going.

[yeszir]

Youk must lead the league in checked swings.

[Spudboy]

Youk did go.

 

Beltre needs to double here.

[yeszir]

Youk did go.

 

Beltre needs to double here.

 

Alas.

[Spudboy]

Crap.

 

I think Wake will have some difficulty today. That breeze is swirling in around the mound.

 

Hope I'm wrong.

[bsox0407]

Well that Sucks. Really need to be able to get at least one there.

[bsox0407]

Hoping just a quality start.

[yeszir]

I'm envisioning massive Bill Hall errors in center...
