Morneau’s been shut down for the season… getting a cyst removed from his knee.
Kubel’s available only at DH.
Valencia’s a late scratch with the flu and Tosoni is out with the same bug.
The Twins and ‘Toons have completed the Thome trade with the Twins receiving $20,000 and no player. Nice to see the Pohlads have a little tip money now.
Here’s the lineup, consisting of whatever players are left standing.

Jason Repko took an 88 mph fastball to the head and we all hope Jason’s OK.
