Goofy-looking bastard, isn't he? Anyway, the key stat, as dug up by Bo Mitchell (via Parker at Over the Baggy): Michael Cuddyer is a 16-for-30 lifetime against Danks, with 5 HR and 11 RBI. That's good.
The euphoria Twins fans are feeling from a very impressive 3-1 road start could come to a screeching halt tonight if Bad Francisco shows up. If Good Francisco, or, god forbid, 2006 Francisco makes an appearance, reserve your spot on the parade route accordingly.
Lineups after the jump:
Hardy gets the 3-hole with Mauer resting, but the real news is two consecutive starts for Harris over Punto. LNP must've forgotten to pick up Gardy's dry-cleaning.
Drinking game: beer and a shot for every Butera base hit. You should stay relatively sober, but with the roll they're on right now, have someone else drive just in case.
Enjoy the game, everybody.
