The unstoppable Pale Hosers' force meets the very moveable Twins' object for game 3 of this series. Twins are hoping to avoid getting swept for the third straight time and win at least one game this month.




Johan "Call Me Ervin" Santana (2.25 ERA, 0-0) is also looking for his first notch in the "W" column this year, let's hope the Twins bats and bullpen help him out today.



Righty Mat "Hatter" Latos (0.00 ERA, 1-0) and his arm tats have had a good comeback so far this spring after being DFA'd by the Dodgers last year. He's 6' 6" tall with an "over-the-top" delivery, so you might've expected a lot of "downward plane" talk from Bert, but FSN isn't carrying the game so go over to Bert's house if you want that sort of thing.
