Rather than any jokes from me, go read Parker Hageman on Nick Blackburn and his "scholarship."

Notes:
- Still no Span, and also no Revere (you may remember him turning his ankle trying to beat out a throw to first on Wednesday).
- The Twins have re-upped with their AAA affiliate in Rochester for two more years. As noted by KSTP's Chris Long, no decision has been made on Class A Beloit. Is my friend Brad's one-man crusade to make the St. Paul Saints the Twins single-A club working?
How will Brian Dozier make it back to Target Field? He'll have to earn it. Nice piece from LaVelle. Bonus: Gardy says "get after it" twice.
Enjoy the game, everybody.
