NOTES:

  • Morneau's back in the lineup. I am happy about this.
  • As you've likely heard, Denard Span has been fined for his dispute with Paul Emmer on Tuesday night, but NOT suspended. I am happy about this.
  • As you've also likely heard, Nick Blackburn is on family medical leave, and the Twins have called up Jeff Manship to start tomorrow's game.
  • As you've also also likely heard, Nick Punto is coming off the DL tomorrow. No news yet on who will be moved to make room for LNP.

Enjoy the game, everybody.
