GameChat – Tribe @ Twins #3, 1:10pm

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.

Another game, another early lead blown, another loss.

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