Game 20: Cleveland (13-6; really?) @ Minnesota (7-12)

The weather's lousy.

Throwers:

Brian Duensing

#52 / Pitcher / Minnesota Twins

Height: 6-0

Weight: 205

Bats: L

Throws: L

Born: Feb 22, 1983

Duensing handcuffed the Rays last Sunday. Metaphorically.

Fausto Carmona

#55 / Pitcher / Cleveland Indians

Height: 6-4

Weight: 230

Bats: R

Throws: R

Born: Dec 07, 1983

Carmona is 1-1 with a 1.25 ERA in his last three starts. Sources close to the team say Carmona "enjoys pants."

Notes:

• Still no Morneau, still no Young, still no roster move. Would a rainout pushing this game into midsummer be a bad thing, asks the guy who doesn't have tickets for tonight's game and has no skin in the game?
• Sounds like the weather in Detroit for Tigers/White Sox is equally blech.
• As Joe C. noted in his lineup post, Trevor Plouffe continues to hit the ball real hard in AAA.
• Both teams will be wearing green ballcaps for the Earth Day. In a sadly ironic twist, the hats are made entirely of baby seals.
• City Pages published its Best of the Twin Cities issue this week, and I endorse their choice of The Depot for Best Place to Drink Before a Twins Game. Great tap selection AND cheese curds.
• If there is a game, enjoy it, everybody. If not, stay dry, and maybe treat yourself to a delicious Cadbury creme egg. (This was not a sponsored post, I just like those goddamn things.)
