Game 98: Minnesota Twins at Chicago White Sox

By fischean

First Pitch: 1:10 CST
TV: FSN
Radio: 1500 ESPN
Know Thine Enemy: South Side Sox
After dropping last night's game 11-4, the Twins look to bounce back today, by having Nick Blackburn (yay?) going against the Sox' Jake Peavy. Some might say this is a somewhat unfair matchup, but some clearly don't know the power of the Beard. Or...something. Maybe be glad you have to work during today's game.
For Minnesota:

Nick Blackburn

#53 / Pitcher / Minnesota Twins

6-4
