GameChat – Twins @ Phillies, 6:05 pm

HUDSON IS BACK!!!!  I am hopefull that good things are to come!  Of course, if you thought that might mean our lineup would start to look more normal, you were WRONG.  Sheesh.  Cuddy at 3B means I’m having not-so-fond flashbacks quite honestly. 

In an interesting and sad twist, instead of having to send one of our callups back to Rochester to make room for Hudson, Mijares has been put on the bereavement list and he’s actually in Venezuela right now for a family matter.  The plan is that he’ll join the team in NY and we’ll see what shakes out then.

Sorry that you don’t have your usual lineup links, MLB decided to be slow and I couldn’t wait any longer to put up the post.  I’m off to the little brother’s graduation party.  So my thanks to LEN III at the Strib and y’all can cheer the boys on for me!
