Alright, I have determined that the clubhouse staff needs to put away the snack tables and/or the boys have to quit double-dipping in the guacamole. The stomach flu is continuing it’s route through the lockerroom. Morneau is still down for the count and now Delmon is experiencing flu-like symptoms. The result is that we get to see Luke Hughes play 1B tonight… that should be interesting.
We’re also having some weather issues in Baltimore. Right now, we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to squeeze a game in but be prepared for some delay in game play at some point. I think it’s a situation of hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. If at any point we find ourselves waiting for the game, I would encourage you to try your hand at the haiku contest we have going for Mauer’s birthday! See the previous post for details!

There are really no other words for it… that SUCKED. 🙁
Span, Kubel, Thome, Cuddyer should put up at least 1 run on the board, but when you are missing Young and Morneau, it puts a hamper on things 🙁
we’ll get em tomorrow!
Looks like your Twins had a worse night than my Phils. Nevertheless, Cuddyer has picked it up and is making his season debut for my fantasy team tomorrow.
Let’s not tell Michael that you’re slotting him in to your lineup, Paul… he’ll just start pressing and we’ll see more of those Ks as he reaches for curveballs outside and in the dirt.
