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.


Francisco Liriano

#47 / Pitcher / Minnesota Twins

6-2

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.

Lineup

Minnesota Twins @ Chicago White Sox

04/09/10 8:10 PM EDT

Minnesota Twins Chicago White Sox
Denard Span - CF Juan Pierre - LF
Orlando Hudson - 2B Gordon Beckham - 2B
J.J. Hardy - SS Carlos Quentin - RF
Justin Morneau - 1B Paul Konerko - 1B
Michael Cuddyer - RF Andruw Jones - DH
Jason Kubel - DH Alex Rios - CF
Delmon Young - LF Omar Vizquel - 3B
Brendan Harris - 3B Alexei Ramirez - SS
Drew Butera - C Donny Lucy - C

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.
